"To any governors or state legislators out there... if you are in a position where you have the power to redraw your maps... if you have the ability to meet this moment with the urgency that it deserves, I'm calling on you to do exactly what we're doing in California and to fight fire with fire."

President Trump is meeting with the President of Argentina instead of meeting with Congressional leaders to end the shutdown and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing.
$20 billion for Argentina, but no $ for Americans' health care?

Mifepristone is safe and effective. There is no good reason for Costco to refuse to sell this medication.
I am demanding that Costco immediately reverse course—follow the science and the facts, not the demands of far-right anti-abortion extremists.

More than two weeks ago I called for Democratic governors to redistrict 30 Republicans out of their seats.
I stand by that.

Democrats in Congress are warming to a strategy of maximum retaliation in response to Republicans' efforts to draw more favorable congressional maps ahead of the 2026 elections.
"It's existential now": House Democrats prepare to go scorched earth on redistricting
"Hakeem is clearly upset and angry and frustrated by this," one House Democrat told Axios.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:
Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;
Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

This #MemberMonday we’re recognizing Jared Matesic of Buffalo–Western NY Branch 3. Hearing a faint cry for help he found an elderly customer in distress. He stayed by her side until EMTs arrived and his calm, quick action got her the help she needed after a stroke.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.
It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.
"I can't breathe."

The resistance after 2016 was a success. But we need something bigger and more durable this time. We need an opposition built for the long term. We need to stop being tired and ignore the cynics. I can promise you, my team and I will be in the fight. If we all do our part we will win!
