Dr. King reminded us that change doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when regular people decide to lead. Honor the legacy. Find where you can serve. Your community is waiting.

Five years ago, I watched in horror as the Capitol was breached during the election certification process. Jan. 6th was an attack on the peaceful transfer of power that defines our democracy. We must ensure it remains a singular moment in history, not a precedent.

Reminder: One of Donald Trump’s first acts after taking office last year was to pardon or commute the sentences of nearly 1,600 insurrectionists who violently attacked the Capitol on January 6.

When Congress returns in January, the House will vote on a 3yr extension of ACA tax credits, helping us prevent the worst of this crisis.

Leader Thune has refused to say he'll put the bill up for a vote in the Senate.

The longer he delays, the more Americans pay. Give us the vote.

Being involved locally matters. 💙

As we approach the holidays and a new year, one of the most meaningful ways to push back against growing authoritarianism is by staying engaged in our own community. Local action makes a real difference.

This is not normal. And it cannot be ignored. And it’s jut another of so many examples.

The language coming from the highest office in the land is cruel, false, and deeply corrosive. It mocks decency, spreads lies, and uses personal attacks and dehumanization as political weapons. This isn’t just…
