I know things feel uncertain right now, but throughout history, this country has faced major challenges—and each time, people came together, spoke up, and made real change happen. We still have that power.

For many veterans, Memorial Day is a time of reflection. It can be a dull ache. It can be a visceral pain. Please bear in mind that for so many veterans & Gold Star families, there is no Happy in Memorial Day.
To our veterans, I can only wish you some moments of peace as we remember your friends.

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

Friends, protesting works. The republicans are cowards. With enough pushback they may alter course. We must keep up the pressure. Turn your rage into action. Don't give in to feelings of helplessness.

The President has chosen to intentionally crash the U.S. economy and financial system by doing things which have been ridiculed in every intro macroeconomics class for the past 80+ years. Those with the power to stop him refuse to do so because they hate minorities.

Hearing a lot of folks asking for Town Halls. Good. Because my team’s already on it. We’re coming to every county in District 6—because I’m not waiting for Day 1 to do what Representatives should be doing already. Show up. Speak your mind. Tell me what’s weighing on you most right now.

Nobody has ever beat authoritarianism by standing back and waiting patiently for the authoritarians to take themselves down.
