GOP is busy confirming election deniers to life appointments and the Dems can’t be bothered to show up and ask a question. We need a new generation of Dem leaders who will offer actual resistance to this regime’s agenda. ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/...

Here's a simple and obvious solution to ensure the viability of Social Security: eliminate the taxation cap. Why does someone making millions of dollars pay as much SS-tax as someone making $176,000? This is regressive and stupid. Make the billionaires pay! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

SCOTUS just stripped 100,000 trans children of medically necessary healthcare. The conservative justices decided that these kids are not entitled to our constitutional guarantee of equal protection before the law. John Roberts said these children are less than equal. A sad day.

The Democratic Party must break with billionaire donors - it’s a moral and strategic imperative. I’m disappointed RI Sen. Jack Reed did not join Sanders, Warren, and Murphy in this important demand. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The glorification and trivialization of political violence is what enables it. Mike Lee should resign in disgrace. He is no leader.

Democratic leadership is out of touch with the base of working Americans and missing the political moment. We need a clean sweep of party insiders so we can rebuild the Democratic Party as the home for working class, solidarity politics. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump has already cost the renewable energy sector 13,000 jobs. These are hard working Americans leading the country into a new economy. We must invest in green jobs and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. Instead, Trump is giving your tax dollars to the rich. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

The stupidity of SCOTUS’ opinions in Trump v. US and Trump v. Wilcox jointly add to the paradox that the president cannot fire the Fed Chair, but he can kill him…

I was out speaking to Rhode Islanders at the Dexter Park Farmers Market yesterday. The people are clear -- the economy is broken for regular, working people. This campaign is going to make billionaires extinct and invest their hoarded wealth in our schools, parks, and healthcare system.

They will kill our democracy if we let them. There is no more plausible deniability - this is a history defining struggle against fascism.

While lower courts have remained firm in the face of Trump’s blatant illegality, SCOTUS has bent over backward to reward the administration for its fake emergencies. It really just comes down to 6 conservative justices who like the thought of big, strong kings. These hacks need to grow up.

Trump threatened to meet protesters in DC with “very heavy force.” This is a blatant attack on your first Amendment Rights. As a reminder, protest is not illegal. The government responding to protest with very heavy force, on the other hand, very much is. This is fascist posturing.

No Child Left Behind inaugurated a regime of constant student-testing and punished thousands of schools for the structural problems that led to their underperformance. My opponent voted for this bill. I would have opposed it and instead focused on raising teacher quality through investment.

We want Porchfests taking over our streets, not ICE and the National Guard. ❌ In these unprecedented times, it’s important to step up and fight for the America we want. We can fund incredible community programs that bring us together or fund ICE and other things that rip us apart.

Justice Jackson is correct, this conservative Supreme Court is giving preferential treatment to Trump. The DOGE decision was a sham and a boon to this administration’s authoritarian agenda. We must reform the Court.
