Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Today we honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities—past and present.

As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, let’s commit to telling the truth about our history, protecting sacred lands, and fighting for justice that includes everyone.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

"Federal Agent"... is no longer anywhere near being an esteemed position.

Hard for good agents that are now in that same classification.

...like a bad cop that can eliminate respect to all the good cops.

Trump is hoping the peaceful protests become violent.

Please remain peaceful.

The President ordered these charges, fired his own U.S. Attorney and replaced him with a White House aide who would overrule career prosecutors to bring them.

We all must stand up for the rule of law.

If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute.

These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.

Democrats came ready to lower health care costs.

Republicans walked away and shut down the government.

We need a deal that puts working families first — and actually lowers their costs.

I took to the Senate floor to implore my Republican colleagues to extend the health care tax credit instead of raising costs for millions of Americans.

This is not a December thing or a January thing, it’s a now thing.

Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department by removing a well-respected, Republican US Attorney and appointing a loyalist who will target his political opponents over the objection of career prosecutors.

It’s a threat to the justice system and the rule of law.

The amazing thing about the SNL sketch last night was not that Ashley Padilla wore a scarf nearly identical to mine. It’s that I trust Amy Poehler as AG more than Pam Bondi.

In Bemidji and across the country, Americans will see their premiums double or even triple if Congressional Republicans refuse to work with us to extend the health care tax credits.

Hardworking families don’t have $14,400 lying around. We must stop this health care crisis.

"A greatly weakened Hamas has sought to reassert itself in Gaza since a ceasefire took hold, killing at least 33 people in a crackdown on groups that have tested its grip and appearing to get a U.S. nod to temporarily police the shattered enclave."
