In just the past 24 hours, 15 new fires have ignited — on federal land — from Modoc to Klamath to Trinity.

Trump needs to WAKE UP and start funding federal firefighters & land-management teams in these rural communities - instead of giving tax cuts to billionaires.

On a day meant to celebrate our nation breaking free from the rule of kings, Donald Trump and his court jesters in Congress are acting like them.

It was only 17 years ago the nation overwhelmingly elected a black president riding on hope and change.

The speed at which we went 180 degrees in such a short time is unbelievable.

Congressional Republicans are forcing through the largest cuts to Medicaid in our nation's history.

Blood will be on the hands of Donald Trump and his cronies as they hand tax cuts to those who don't need them over working families.

Now's the time to fight back and speak out.

I just launched a new initiative to develop and implement agriculture-focused workforce training programs.

As our farmers face historic uncertainty with tariffs, we’re making sure the next generation of Minnesota farmers have the resources they need to feed the world.

DOGE cut off Social Security Administration spending so now workers have to use their own money to buy office supplies.

Meanwhile Elon Musk makes $8 million every single day from the government.
How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring
The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

MAJOR BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren just told Call to Activism exclusively that she’s calling for a formal investigation into “insider trading” among Trump’s friends:

"Did Trump or those with inside knowledge help wealthy investors cash in on his tariff flip-flopping?"

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates.

Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.
Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

I was at Sunrise Village assisted living facility in Milaca to highlight the importance of standing against cuts to Medicaid. In Mille Lacs County, nearly 23% of residents rely on Medicaid for their health care, and we must stand up to protect their access to care.
