WE DID IT!!! 82 hours. 201,701 steps. Countless stories and supporters along the way. I’m proud, I’m sore, and I’m more certain than ever: Pennsylvanians won’t stop until we #FundTransit.
We’re fighting for a better, fairer, and brighter future for every American.

This Labor Day, thank a union. Our nation’s workers have better wages, stronger benefits, and safer working conditions because of them.
Over 330 rural hospitals are at risk of closing or scaling back services due to Trump's Medicaid cuts.
In the days since the Annunciation shooting, we’ve seen a deliberate effort to smear those calling for action as if they were mocking prayer. Nothing could be further from the truth. To refuse to act in the face of this evil is the real betrayal of faith.
Democrats passed budget bills that would have secured SEPTA funding and kept Pennsylvania’s transit system running smoothly. Republicans blocked them. DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta is pushing back.
Guess the GOP figured out this wasn't a winning slogan
Rally with me on the route!! 🚶🏽♂️#WalkForTransit
New analysis finds Trump's deployment of the National Guard to DC costs an estimated $1 million per day.
Tomorrow I kick off a 105-mile Walk for Transit — for our working families and for a government that actually works for us. @democrats.org aren’t backing down!
Republican Congressman Mark Alford responds to angry constituents at his town hall: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?"
Republican Congressman Warren Davidson is booed by his constituents while trying to defend Trump's deployment of the National Guard to DC.

1 in 4 nursing homes will close their doors because of Trump’s budget bill.
Last night, I joined the vigil mourning the victims of the Annunciation tragedy. My heart is with Minneapolis.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Attended a beautiful prayer service at Holy Angels led by Archbishop Hebda. He said, “we look for the words that are able to express inexpressible grief, and we look for those symbols that might bring hope."
It doesn’t have to be this way. Even when it’s hard to find hope, I will keep working on it.
I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information. The BCA and State Patrol are on scene. I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.
My staff and I are monitoring the situation at Annunciation Catholic School. I’m grateful for the quick response of law enforcement as we continue to gather information. It’s the first week of school. These kids should not be fearing for their lives.
I am heartbroken by the horrific violence at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis this morning. My prayers are with the students, teachers, and families, and I am grateful for the first responders who are on the scene.
Praying for the families, students, and teachers at Annunciation Catholic in South Minneapolis. Emergency responders are currently on the scene, and we’re waiting for more details about what happened this morning in my home state. Please join me in deep prayer.
We mobilized 30,000 volunteers to make calls and send texts to help Iowa Democrats and Catelin Drey's campaign get out the vote—winning a district that Donald Trump won by over 11 points in November.
With this victory, Democrats break the supermajority Iowa Republicans have in the State Senate. Congratulations, Catelin!
Here’s the truth about Trump and the job market for new grads
Reporter: Firing Fed Gov. Cook would mean much higher inflation. When you have a Fed that's making decisions on interest rates to try to make the cost of government debt much lower, inflation goes up. Companies have to then start putting people out of jobs. It would put this economy into a recession
This is a blatantly authoritarian move that puts our economy—and Americans’ retirement savings—at risk.
BREAKING: The Third District Court just reinstated Prop 4 and ordered new congressional maps before the 2026 election. This is a major victory for voters. We look forward to holding Republicans accountable to their constituents in these new, fairly-drawn districts.
Utah Republicans gerrymandered the maps because they knew they were losing power in the state. With this ruling, power is back in the hands of everyday Utahns to be able to choose their representatives, instead of Donald Trump and Republicans.
A victory for democracy.
Reporter: Higher prices. The overall inflation rate as of July at 2.7%. That's well above what the Fed was targeting. When you look at just furniture prices for living room, dining room, and kitchen, almost 8%. This is before these furniture tariffs even kick in
Trump’s tariffs will impact tailgate season.
Gov. @jbpritzker.bsky.social's message to Donald Trump: Do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted nor needed here.
Rep. Raskin: The government admitted that Abrego Garcia was erroneously sent to a prison in El Salvador. So now they're just acting out of spite and malice to try to find some other way to go after the guy, but that's not how the rule of law works. We've got due process in America
Mother: In North Carolina, our Republican-held legislature is voluntarily reducing our Medicaid budget by $319 million because state programs operate on a matching basis. The real reduction there is around $1 billion. Families like mine are scared. How are we gonna be able to care for our children?
feels familiar
My message to Democrats: When we organize everywhere we win. Let's fight, let's win, and let's remake the world.
Republicans would prefer we blame each other rather than the people truly at fault for rising costs—the GOP and billionaires.
Unlike Donald Trump, we don't use the military as a prop for a failing president. We respect our heroes in uniform. We honor their service and sacrifice, and yes, we want to make sure that every veteran can actually afford a home and get health care after they've served our country.
Seven months in, and Trump is openly scheming to rig the midterm map and cling to power, plotting his way towards an unconstitutional third term. This is not politics as usual. This is authoritarianism. It's fascism dressed in a red tie.
Terrific energy this morning as we kicked off the DNC Summer Meeting in Minneapolis. Democrats are ready to take back our country from the wannabe king in the White House and use every lever of power to organize for the future we deserve.
Always good to see my friend and one of the best governors in the country, Tim Walz.
Trump started with federal workers, but make no mistake, Trump's goal is to eliminate labor unions everywhere. The right to organize a union is sacred, and Democrats, along with @mnaflcio.org and AFGE, will continue to fight Trump’s attacks on labor until the battle is won.
Back home in Minnesota for the State Fair. Stopped by the @dfl.org booth, caught up with my friend, State Senator Zaynab Mohamed, and had a great time connecting with local content creators to hear what’s on their mind.

Reminder
Q: Do you have recollection of you ever recruiting a masseuse from Mar-a-Lago spa to give to go give a private massage to Mr. Epstein? Maxwell: I've never recruited a masseuse from Mar-a-Lago as far as I remember (Virginia Giuffre has testified that she was recruited from Mar-a-Lago by Maxwell)
Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social and the Oversight Democrats are getting answers.

Please don't
The EPA is moving to roll back a landmark rule on air quality standards and is planning to review nearly all toxic chemical rules.

Onward to November 4.
Ron DeSantis has ordered the rainbow crosswalk outside the former Pulse nightclub to be painted over. The crosswalk honored the 49 victims of the deadly shooting at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub.
Trump thought he could rig the congressional maps and Democrats would fold. We’re giving him the showdown he never expected.
BREAKING: The California Assembly has passed a bill to put Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan on the November 4 ballot.
New York is ready.
Trump has cancelled all White House tours indefinitely due to the construction of his $200 million ballroom.
Here, fixed it.
This confirms what we already know: California's effort to put new maps before the people to make the final decision on is entirely legal. Why won't Texas let their people have a say?
California is not backing down.
Sen. @ossoff.bsky.social on JD Vance: His legacy is casting the decisive vote to throw millions of Americans off health care to serve the wealthiest and most powerful people in the country.
Every Texas House Democrat on the floor voted against Trump’s gerrymandered maps. Every Texas House Republican voted for them. Republicans betrayed their constituents to pull off Trump’s power grab.
The fight’s just begun.
Trump 2020: Find me 11k votes Trump 2025: Find me congressional seats
Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps. If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats. This is a blatant, racist power grab.
“House Bill 4 is not about representation. It’s not about fairness. It is a desperate, mid-decade power grab. Engineered in Washington, executed in Austin, and paid for by the Texans we’re supposed to represent.”
Texas House Republicans have voted to pass their gerrymandered congressional maps. The redrawn maps were requested by Trump amid fears about losing the House majority.
Boston Mayor Wu on the Trump administration: “Good news on our economy has been as hard to find as the Epstein list.”
I was just on a press call with TX Rep. Nicole Collier, @corybooker.com, and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social. Rep. Collier joined us from the TX Capitol. She was ordered to leave the call, and threatened with a felony charge if she didn’t comply. This is an outrageous violation of her freedom of speech.
BREAKING: Texas Rep. Nicole Collier tells us she was just forced to leave a DNC press call and threatened with a FELONY charge if she didn’t comply. Republicans are out of control.
State Rep. Rhetta Andrews Bowers has a message live from the Texas House floor.
We got the Trump gamer tax before GTA 6
Last night, Texas House Democrats stayed on the House floor to support Rep. Nicole Collier and protest Republican police surveillance. Their fight against Trump and Republicans’ gerrymander scheme continues today.
There is a fascist in the White House—and we have to throw out our old playbook. Democrats cannot be the only party that's playing by the rules anymore.
Why is Trump sneaking away from our allies to talk to Putin?
Exclusive video from Texas Rep. Nicole Collier on the House floor.
Mind you, a week ago, they partnered with PragerU, who said that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed”
Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.
Since 2020, voting by mail has become more popular and common. Countless Americans rely on it – folks with disabilities, seniors, service members, and people who are just busy. Trump threatening to take it away is absurd. Will keep fighting to protect voting rights.
BREAKING: Texas Rep. Nicole Collier has surpassed 24 hours in the House chamber after refusing to sign a “permission slip” and be taken into DPS custody.
Texas State Rep. Collier on staying overnight in the Texas Capitol: “I refused to sign the permission slip. I disagree with the authoritarian tactic that [Republicans] have taken.”
Thank you, Texas House Democrats. In the face of enormous pressure & risk, these brave Democrats stood up & started a national movement against the Republican attempt to rig the midterm elections. Together, we will continue to fight — & we’re not going to stop until we win for the American people.
Last night, Texas Republicans locked State Rep. Nicole Collier inside the House chamber and wouldn’t allow her to leave after she refused to sign a “permission slip.” We stand with her.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Elise Stefanik got booed so loud in her district you couldn’t even hear her speak. That's what happens when you sell out your constituents to Donald Trump.
Trump rolled out the red carpet for a dictator on U.S. soil last week. Then, echoing Putin, he threatened mail-in ballots. Now he's musing about starting wars to postpone future elections.
Wrote a piece for Fox News (yes, that Fox, because Democrats should be talking to everyone!) about how Trump and his allies have done everything they can to stop America from being great.
More proof that Trump is scared about Republicans losing in 2026:
Trump knows Republicans are gonna lose in 2026 and he’s panicking. Democrats, don’t let up.

Trump: Mail-in ballots are corrupt. You can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots
Q: What's your message to the people of Ukraine? Trump: We love them. Q: Russia continues to attack civilians in Kharkiv, killing many Trump: Thank you very much
Trump's voted by mail multiple times. Hypocrite.
Putin’s puppet
