Rep. Gerry Connolly's death, aside from being tragic for his family and loved ones, leaves those who fight for democracy with one less fighter and defender on our side. RIP.

I don't advocate anybody for the sake of them and their family working until they die. But rather than ghouls on here I find it commendable if someone decides to do that for the good of the country because we are in a terrible place and they are the wisest and most experienced. Bless them.

The GOP budget guts Medicaid & defunds Planned Parenthood—cutting off birth control, cancer screenings & STI testing. This isn’t about saving money. It’s about punishing women. 📢 Raise hell: resist.bot/petitions/PW... #StopTheBillionaireBailout

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including: •Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive •America’s supply chain isn’t ready •Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs •Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

Wouldn't it be nice? Even now, as a senior, it's a constant tug of war to get the medical care I need. STRESSFUL for young families, stressful for moms and dads, stressful for old folks. Taking years away from us all.

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, and to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

I have a housing bill that will create about 3 million homes, reduce rents by 10% for working people, and incentivize local governments to cut red tape. By getting the very wealthiest to chip in, we can help working families get a decent place to live at a decent price.
