The fight for working people is personal to me. I come from a union family, I carried a union card. This Labor Day—and every day—the Democratic Party is standing up for union jobs and against these sweeping Republican attacks on working men and women.
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.
Another GOP governor who’s caved to Trump’s power-hungry demands. This is a pathetic attempt to rig the system, evade accountability, and undermine the voices of Missouri voters. California is proof: Democrats won’t pull punches when it comes to fighting back.
Last night, I joined the vigil mourning the victims of the Annunciation tragedy. My heart is with Minneapolis.
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 deployed our distributed organizing team of over 30,000 volunteers to help @iowademocrats.bsky.social and Catelin Drey's campaign get out the vote. This is the result. Make no mistake: When Democrats organize everywhere, we win everywhere.
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.
My message to Democrats: When we organize everywhere we win. Let's fight, let's win, and let's remake the world.
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.
Please don't
Small businesses like this shop in Minneapolis are the foundation of our local economies. Trump's tariffs are crippling them.
Trump thought he could rig the congressional maps and Democrats would fold. We’re giving him the showdown he never expected.
Democrats aren’t giving up. We’re getting even.
This isn’t your grandfather’s Democratic Party.
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.
Exclusive video from Texas Rep. Nicole Collier on the House floor.
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 going after mail-in voting? It's not just because Putin told him to—it's because he's scared of losing in the midterms.
Trump knows Republicans are gonna lose in 2026 and he’s panicking. Democrats, don’t let up.
Read my full op-ed here: www.foxnews.com/opinion/you-...
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.
@texasdemocrats.bsky.social have led the fight against Trump’s attempt to cheat voters in Texas with his gerrymandering scheme. Democrats are ready to keep fighting fire with fire as the GOP gears up to rig maps across the country.
In Los Angeles, I met with the community leaders and housing advocates working on the ground to protect the city’s most vulnerable residents. They’re absolutely right: Fighting back against Trump is a matter of life and death.
Compare this to how Trump and Vance treated Zelensky in the Oval Office. This says everything about Trump’s priorities.
If the GOP wants a showdown, they’ll get a showdown. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and @cademocrats.bsky.social sent a message to the entire country: We are done fighting with one arm tied behind our back. The Election Rigging Response Act will ensure the GOP can’t rig their way through the midterms.
He should try telling that to the millions of seniors and people with disabilities who rely on Social Security as their lifeline. All these guys care about is making their rich friends richer at the expense of everyone else.
Ninety years ago, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. Donald Trump and his corrupt minions have done everything in their power to dismantle Social Security and throw older Americans into poverty. Democrats will always fight to protect it.
New analysis finds Trump and Republicans' budget bill will make the bottom 20% of Americans poorer while the top 10% will get meaningfully richer. This is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich from a single law in history.
Trump is testing his ability to take over entire cities with military force. This is terrible federal overreach.
As Donald Trump further flames his threats to federalize D.C., we hosted a Capital Cookout in Ward 7 to bring together communities that make the District strong. This is the real D.C., Donald—and if you can’t see that, maybe watch less Fox News and get out of your gilded palace.
I’m proud to share that the DNC will invest $1.5 million in New Jersey to help elect Rep. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as their next governor and ensure Democrats win up and down the ballot. New Jerseyans deserve Democratic leaders who will fight back against Trump while delivering lower costs.
On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, as Republicans bend the knee to Trump to disenfranchise voters, Democrats are standing up for the rights of every American.
Trump and Abbott’s cheating power grab in Texas is bullshit. Texas Democrats are leading with strength while Republicans attack their state.
What a weak attempt at Trump-style intimidation. If the state of Texas has any law left in it, the court will immediately dismiss this farce.
Greg Abbott is trying to cheat his way to 2026. @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I break down why everyone should care about what’s going on in Texas.
There is nothing more American than calling out corruption and defending the will of the voters. That’s what Texas Democrats are doing.
Tomorrow I’m headed to Illinois to stand with Texas Democrats. They’re doing what’s necessary to protect their state from Donald Trump and Greg Abbott’s craven power grab. We stand united.
We’ve been warning Texas Republicans for weeks that if they want a showdown, we’d give them a showdown. That’s exactly what Texas Democrats did today. The DNC will proudly fight alongside them to stop this anti-democratic assault.
Republicans know they’ll lose in the midterms if they don't rig the system. That’s exactly what’s happening in Texas. I won’t tolerate it.
We need to organize all year round—not just in election years—and make sure we reach out to every single voter. Text FIGHT to 43367 to join us in building Democratic power.
Trump promised us a booming economy. His own job numbers, the weakest since COVID, say otherwise. Thanks to Trump, we have higher costs, a job-killing trade war, and a billionaire-first budget wreaking havoc on the middle class.
Right after Trump took away health care from working families and food from hungry kids, he’s building a lavish playground for his billionaire friends in the White House. This guy never gave a damn about you.
In Los Angeles, I met with @chirlaactionfund.bsky.social and Latino community advocates who are standing against Donald Trump and with our immigrant communities. We have always been a nation of immigrants.
Texas Republicans held SEVEN hearings about their plan to gerrymander the state before even one about flood relief. They’re not interested in helping flood victims.
You pay into your Social Security benefits your whole life. You earned every cent. Trump wants to privatize it and hand your money over to his Wall Street buddies. They’re admitting it in the open.
You’re looking at the newly gerrymandered map that Donald Trump ordered Texas Republicans to concoct while flood victims still await help. This is a last-ditch midterm scheme to keep Trump and Republicans in power. Every option is on the table to fight back.
Medicaid and Medicare have helped millions of Americans over the past 60 years. If not for Medicaid when I was a kid, my family wouldn’t have had health care in tough times. To the Republicans who voted to destroy Medicaid—start looking for a new job. We will vote you out.
Today, over 40 Senate Democrats stood together with one voice: The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza demands immediate action.
Trump’s golfing on your dime while Republicans take an early vacation. Yet the Epstein files are nowhere to be found, rural hospitals are on the brink, and your health premiums are skyrocketing. Republicans need to do their jobs.
Last night in San Diego, I met with veterans who served our nation. I heard from them about the issues that concern them—the Trump administration attacking the VA and the assault on our shared American values. Democrats are the party standing up for them.
The GOP scheme to use the Texas floods as cover to gerrymander the state is politics at its worst. Through our 30k-person strong organizing program, we’re calling and texting Texas voters, telling them how Republicans are trying to rig the system. Let’s stop them in their tracks.
Here's how the DNC is stepping up to stop Trump and Greg Abbott’s Texas gerrymandering scheme: —Sent 250k texts recruiting Texans to turn out for redistricting field hearings —Activated Texas creators to cover the hearings —Mobilized Texans to share their stories
Thank you Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social for stepping up the @democrats.org investment in Texas. We are ground zero. This craven power grab will affect all of America - Republicans want to rig the map and entrench their majority that they have used to slash Medicaid and block the Epstein files.
Great to meet with and learn from Democratic mayors and members of Congress in Cleveland today.
We’re going to keep holding these cowardly Republicans accountable. If you live in a red district, call your representative—tell them to come back to Washington, do their job, and vote to release the Epstein files.
After House Republicans fled Washington to avoid voting on the Epstein files, they’re hosting town halls in their districts to tout Trump’s cuts to health care and food assistance. If they think their constituents will be happy to see them, they’ve got another thing coming.
We now know Donald Trump was named in the Epstein files. It’s long past time for Republicans to stop covering this up and give Americans the full transparency they promised.
You deserve to know whether the Epstein files cover up is just the tip of the iceberg. What other “wonderful secrets” will soon come out about Trump’s relationship with his “pal” Jeff?
Cat’s out of the bag now, Donald.
Beef prices are hitting an all-time high. It’s already hard enough making ends meet without Trump driving up groceries. Wasn’t this the same guy who said he’d lower grocery prices on day one?
Trump claims he’ll take on the elites—but he won’t release the Epstein files. What’s he hiding? Maybe the ‘drain the swamp’ guy doesn’t want us looking too closely at who’s in the muck with him. Republicans should stop protecting billionaire pedophiles and release the files.
Today, I met with Rep. Jamie Raskin's Democracy Summer Fellows at DNC HQ! They are our next generation of organizers and leaders, and they reminded me of the people I met when I organized for Paul Wellstone in high school. We can’t give up on our future. I know our young leaders aren’t.
Republicans think everybody will forget about the Epstein files if they hightail it out of DC. Not happening. They promised transparency. What are they covering up?
On Trump’s order, Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans are hijacking a special session that should be focused on flood victims so they can ram through a gerrymandering scheme. This is a clear political ploy to hold Congress in 2026. Let’s kick these cowards out in the midterms.
Trump and Texas Republicans are focused on rigging congressional maps to undermine the system and undercut the will of the people. It’s outrageous. But if Republicans want a showdown, Democrats will give them a showdown.
Thank you @cbcpac.bsky.social for having me at your 2025 New York Retreat. We all share the same goals: winning the midterms, flipping the House of Representatives blue, and upholding our democracy. Let's get it done.
I met with @genefortexas.bsky.social in Houston to talk about the Republican plot to cheat Texas voters. And you can join the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social in the fight back against this GOP power grab—go to StopTheTexasSteal.com to learn more.
I’m on the ground in Houston with @genefortexas.bsky.social, who is leading the charge against the Republican gerrymandering scheme. The GOP is so scared of losing in 2026 that they’ll stoop so low as to cheat the system during this flood crisis.
When you make a promise to the American people, you damn well better keep it. Democrats are going to keep the pressure on the Trump administration to release the Epstein files.
Texas Republicans should be focused on helping people recover from the flood. They’re scheming to cheat voters instead. I’m in Texas today to fight back.
🤨
Emil Bove would be a blank check for Donald Trump with a lifetime appointment. Having him on the bench would be a danger to our country. He’s so bad that 900 DOJ alumni have urged the Senate to reject his nomination. Senate Democrats just stood up for the rule of law.
One of the things I always ask people in political organizing is, “What is your why?” I sat down with Zayed Kadir, the chair of the High School Democrats of America, to hear what inspires him to do this work.
Had a great meeting with the High School Democrats of America today in Washington, D.C., and revisiting my time as a young Democrat. The foundation of our party is impossible to build without young people.
Imagine. If. Biden. Had. Done. This.
Trump's spiraling. What's in those files that he doesn't want us to see?
Cowards.
Donald Trump and Republicans have betrayed Virginians. It’s time to fight back. The DNC is investing an initial $1.5 million into Virginia to take back the governor’s mansion, win statewide offices, and keep the majority in the state house.
Last night, Republicans blocked the Epstein files from being released. They thought you weren’t paying attention. Trump keeps asking why YOU still care about this. It’s deflection. Why does HE care so much about covering the files up?
Republicans refuse to face their own hardworking constituents. They’re cowards who take away health care to enrich billionaires. But Democrats aren’t afraid. We’ve shown up at town halls in all 50 states—hosting 138 gatherings total. And we’re not done.
Thank you @tndems.bsky.social for hosting me at the Tennessee Three Star Dinner! The road to enduring Democratic success runs through the South, and it starts by organizing everywhere. We’re not writing any state off as permanently red, we’re organizing across the country to compete and win.
There’s no such thing as an off-year. We have critical elections coming up across the country, and today I joined New Jersey Dems to knock on doors for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and candidates across the ballot. If you want to help make a difference in your community, text FIGHT to 43367.
Our U.S. Secretary of Death, Robert Kennedy Jr. — what a sick joke. A disgrace to a family that once stood for justice and compassion. RFK Jr. chose conspiracy over truth — and children are paying the price with their lives.
90 deals in 90 days? What a bunch of bullshit.
We had a special guest stop by @democrats.org HQ today: San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones! I’m grateful to be in this fight with leaders like her.
That is what happens when you skip intelligence briefings.
Great update. My friend John Hoffman has been discharged from the hospital after the assassination attempt on his life last month. Jenn and I are keeping John and Yvette in our prayers as they continue to recover.
Paul Wellstone said, “Never separate the life you lead from the words you speak.” As Democrats, we have to stand on our values now more than ever, and fight like hell for working people across the country.
A heartbreaking tragedy. 27 souls—including nine kids—have been taken by the flooding. My family and I are praying for the missing Camp Mystic girls, all those still unaccounted for, and the first responders who are braving the floods to bring them home.
Republicans sided with Trump and his billionaire friends against hardworking Americans. Don’t forget it.
In a time when freedoms are being stripped away from the most vulnerable among us, remember this: In America, we don’t bow to kings. This Independence Day, we honor those who worked tirelessly to free us from tyranny and recommit to the never-ending fight to protect our democracy. 🇺🇲
Trump said he would lower your costs. He lied. Trump said he’d lower the deficit. He lied. Trump said he wouldn’t cut your health care. He lied. The proof is in his budget.
Today, Donald Trump and the Republican party sent a message to America: If you are not a billionaire, we don’t give a damn about you.
House Republicans just voted to take food away from hungry kids so billionaires can stuff more money in their pockets.
