Preach, my sister. All is not lost. We work, hope, fight and change will come. #wethepeople #nokinga
Lee: As a Black woman, there’s no way I don’t have hope. I’ve seen a lot in my life, and we have these moments of backward steps. But we have hope. I see hope. I see our young people—they have hope. I see them fighting hard for our democracy and for a better life.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Good news! There’s still a President that children can look up to and be left alone with if need be. Thank you President @barackobama.bsky.social for serving with compassion and integrity. You continue to inspire and invest in nation’s future. #yeswecan #yeswedid #yeswewill
I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

It’s really disheartening that our nation’s highest Court has said that the rights won by my parents are now denied to their grandchildren. The racial divide is back front and center. #District18 #wethepeople #onepersononevote #SCOTUS #votingrightsact
Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

Say it plain. And make it clear. We are a nation built by immigrants and so many others- un-American or at least not the America where I hope to live. #wethepeople #ourcountry #webelonghere
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

You are more honorable than any person in the administration right now. We’re with you and your strength speaks volumes. #defendtheconstitution #wethepeople
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Release the #EpsteinFiles without delay.
The House was expected to vote overwhelmingly on Tuesday to demand that the Justice Department release all files related to its investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an action that Republicans worked for months to avoid. Here's what to know.
House Is Expected to Vote on Tuesday to Release Epstein Files
Ahead of what was likely to be a unanimous House vote that Republican leaders had toiled to avoid, G.O.P. lawmakers embraced the Epstein transparency bill.

Hold the line! Food and health are fundamental- do not fold for nothing. #GOPshutdown
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
