There is no better fighter for democracy than Illinois Gov. Pritzker. On Wednesday, July 2 at 5pm ET I will host a live members-only podcast recording with him to discuss Trump's abuses of power, rising threats against elected officials and the political future.

Boy, these billionaires - who have WAY more money than they or their families could ever possibly need in 500 lifetimes - REALLY want to avoid paying taxes to their government and country to benefit a common good like life-saving services for less fortunate countrymen. Nothing matters more to them.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is: In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.” In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Thom Tillis is reminding us that every Republican despises Trump, but they are all so beholden to his base that they will spend their political lives falling prostrate before him, even knowing the irreparable harm they are doing. They are all traitorous cowards.

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak. Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things. Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

@slotkin.senate.gov was one of our original No Corporate PAC candidates all the way back to her first run for Congress. We have been proud to work with her to stand up to the special interests and to fight for working families. And look forward to continuing this fight with her.

In 2018, we swung a red seat 20 points(!!) to flip it blue by showing up everywhere and listening. In 2022, I was re-elected – and helped flip the State Senate. Then we governed like we gave a damn. Now I'm running for United States Senate – because we're not done. Not even close.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

I doubt Trump has even the tiniest clue about the details in his "Big Beautiful Bill," aside from the tax cuts for rich people. If only we had a functioning White House Press Corp that would ask him about specifics.

The American people end up paying the price for the corrupt lawmakers who are more focused on serving corporate special interests, lobbyists, and their stock portfolios than their constituents. @slotkin.senate.gov is 100% correct. It’s time to gut Big Money out of politics.

ICE handcuff U.S. citizen—arrest him in the middle of having a severe seizure. "Tell them I'm a U.S. citizen," he begs the man recording video—gasping for air. Agents then roll him over onto his back—this is very dangerous! This increases risk of suffocation—you should place them on their side.
