Behind every free and fair election are thousands of dedicated election officials and poll workers working hard to make it happen – and 80% of them are women! I’m grateful today and every day for everyone who shows up to keep our democracy strong. #ThankYouElectionHeroes

From Minnesota to Utah, political violence has torn apart families and shaken our nation. This is a moment to lead by example for the next generation—choosing empathy instead of anger, kindness instead of hate, and unity over division.

America wouldn't be what it is today without our workers and the labor movement that established wage standards, safer working conditions, reasonable hours, and more. To fight for democracy is to fight for American workers and their lasting legacy on our nation.

Waking up this morning with new found urgency to support the state leaders protecting our democracy. The SCOTUS decisions yesterday made something I’ve always known even more clear: state AGs are the backbone of our democracy, and we need them now more than ever.
Let’s get to work.

Freedom of the press isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a basic American value. Without it, there is no democracy. The American people deserve transparency, accountability, and a federal government that respects the law.

Last night, I was so proud to watch @govmaurahealey.bsky.social give her State of the Commonwealth address. But I’m even more proud to watch how hard she and her team work for the people of Massachusetts every single day.
Leadership matters. I’m grateful every day to call this place home. ❤️
