Trump and Republican politicians promised to lower costs. Instead, electric bills are up 12% this year. Why? Their “Big Beautiful Bill” killed new clean energy projects and policies that kept energy prices down.

If every other developed nation in the world can make universal healthcare work, maybe it's not the system that's complex, but our refusal to challenge big pharma and insurance giants.

REMINDER: Democrats banned hidden junk fees on tickets, hotels, airlines, and other areas that affect everyday Americans!

More than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire. We need to tax the rich!!

I have some thoughts…

Don’t forget that Kristi Noem spent $220 MILLION of our own taxes on pro-Trump propaganda ads, including a no-bid contract to a firm owned by her chief spokesperson’s husband.

This administration is so damn corrupt!
Lawmakers Call for Probe of How Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The demands for an investigation come after a ProPublica story revealed that the Noem-connected Strategy Group was secretly a subcontractor on the ad campaign.

So literally the opposite effect of what the tariffs were supposed to do.

Yet Trump keeps claiming that "affordability is a con job." Get out of Mar-a-Lago, dude, and talk to real people.
December 4, 2025 at 5:55 PM
He just doesn’t get it.
December 4, 2025 at 4:32 PM
And we should tax each and every one of them!

A pleasure to chat with Jessica Stern, former U.S. Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of LGBTQI+ Persons, and Co-Founder of the Alliance for Diplomacy and Justice.

Her leadership continues to strengthen the global push for equality. Listen here: youtu.be/ws4JcVJU3HQ

0 DAYS fighting for health care, 43 DAYS on vacation.

Republicans own the health care crisis AND the longest shutdown in American history.

The Trump Administration is lowering wages for agricultural workers and subsidizing the cost of bringing in guest workers with limited protections.

Farmworkers perform a grueling job in difficult conditions to put food on our tables. They deserve a raise, not a pay cut✊

Had a great conversation with LGBTQI+ creators.

With more than 10 million followers between them, their work is critical to getting our message out and driving this movement forward.

Let’s keep fighting for our rights!

Do you think this guy has EVER been to a grocery store?? So out of touch.

I introduced a bipartisan resolution alongside Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and @booker.senate.gov to commemorate World AIDS Day.

This isn't just an honorary day. It's about acknowledging the 40 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS and those we've lost to this epidemic.

Lol look at this guy
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

I’m honored to display a small piece of the AIDS Quilt in my office.

Now is the time for America to fulfill its commitment to ending the HIV epidemic, not for the Trump administration to abandon our leadership and put peoples’ lives at risk. #SaveHIVFunding

And how many of those lower costs? Oh yeah, that's right. NONE.
December 2, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Rent, food, and everyday items are too damn expensive. The American people are tired and ready for real change.

For more than 35 years, the United States has celebrated World AIDS Day. A leaked memo showed Trump decided to cancel any recognition of World AIDS Day this year.

If you have some time today, check out my conversation with Lina Khan from earlier this year.

It’s a largely optimistic episode, discussing the FTC’s wins fighting against corporate greed under the Biden administration.

Small businesses are at the heart of our community. I learned that firsthand, having ran a small specialty printing business for more than three decades.

Happy National Small Business Saturday!
