Yesterday, I signed an executive order creating a task force to prepare for establishing a Department of Housing.
I promised during my campaign to elevate the issue of housing through a cabinet-level agency. The crisis we're facing demands it.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

🚨 HUGE NEWS: Democrats' discharge petition to force a vote on extending the ACA subsidies and lowering premium costs for millions has gotten enough signatures.
Speaker Johnson tried to block this bill because he doesn't care if your premiums double or triple. We do.

Here's Trump's Chief of Staff openly admitting Trump is weaponizing YOUR government for his own "score settling" and retribution.
This is the most corrupt administration in history and they're not even pretending otherwise.

My thoughts are with the students at Brown University. It’s devastating to see yet another mass shooting in America.
This kind of violence should never be normalized. We need common sense gun safety laws.

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.
Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.
All thanks to Republican inaction.

Senate Republicans want to pass a backdoor abortion ban through the ACA by blocking PRIVATE insurance from covering abortion care.
This is not about Hyde—it's an unprecedented NEW attack on abortion access. Not on my watch.

A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

I just got off the House floor where we FINALLY voted to reauthorize SRS.
It took a lot of work to get here, and it’s a relief to know that rural schools across the West are going to be getting some much needed support.

We may blame each other, and 'elite Democrats' for the decline in our living standard. But the truth is, the facts show that it has been caused by tax cuts for the wealthy, put on place exclusively by Republicans.
