Nobody is coming to save us but us. Yesterday I launched my campaign for U.S. Senate because we deserve – and we need – a new path.

Really?

🚨 51-48, Senate PASSES a measure to terminate Trump’s tariffs on Canada. Four Republicans join Democrats to deliver a rare rebuke to the president: Susan Collins Lisa Murkowski Rand Paul Mitch McConnell

🚨BREAKING: Susan Crawford WINS Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Court retains 4-3 liberal majority, paving the way for future cases protecting voting rights. A huge defeat for Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Sign-up for Democracy Docket for full coverage. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź A coalition of state attorneys general plans to file suit this afternoon to block an order from the White House budget office that would freeze all federal grant programs by 5 p.m. today. Gift article here:

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

My 18 y.o. daughter alerted me that my instagram account is following trump, jdvance and “first lady” - this was done automatically 🤬 I read that this was happening but have been off all meta accounts since before yesterday. Just went in only to unfollow and block. Here we are.

Stoked.

I will post my new Resistance HQ bulletin each day at 8PM ET. It is designed for people who don’t really want to watch the news right now or wade through the muck of social media to find nuggets of things that are important. It will tell you what happened that day without the BS.

I began by representing the Democratic Party. Later, I became a courtroom litigator focused on protecting the right to vote. In 2020, I started Democracy Docket to be a fearlessly pro-democracy voice in the public square. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...
