Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

“Unless stopped by the courts, each of these proposed rollbacks will do irreparable harm to the nation’s water quality, endangered species and marine ecosystems.”

Join us tomorrow for a conversation on #healthcare

Serious contender… I’ll take it! Working our way toward the August ‘26 Democratic Primary, one day at a time! #peoplepower #campaign #congressneedsasocialworker @nytimes.com

Companies like Walmart don't pay workers enough to buy food — and then turn around and makes millions from SNAP dollars spent in their stores. My plan puts people first: lowering food costs and making sure a full-time job is enough to keep food on the table. #hunger #snap #poverty #greed

If you’re wondering why your government never makes your life easier, it’s pretty much this simple.

Healthcare should work for all of us. My plan takes profit out of healthcare and saves you money. #healthcare #policy voteforjillian.com/issues

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law. This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

#TBT to 1999, when rent was cheap and Congress was… exactly the same.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

My 13 year old daughter told me that Trump called a reporter “piggy” today to shut her up. Are we done yet? #sexism #misogyny

Reminder!! Join us tonight!

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

It should be so much easier to feed a family in America. Join me and Lucy Nolan on Monday for a virtual conversation about my plan to lower the cost of food and ensure no one goes hungry in the richest country in the world. RSVP at voteforjillian.com/events.

Every day brings a new kind of corruption.

Surprise, surprise. Senate Republicans aren’t acting in good faith and it’s women who will pay the price. #abortion #womenshealth #aca #shutdown

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA. These people are evil.

Special session at the CT Legislature, discussing SNAP benefits with colleagues. #snap #food #foodinsecurity

It's #WomenWednesday and I want to thank Lucy Nolan, former Exec. Director of End Hunger CT! for her years of advocacy, and for joining me next week to discuss my policy to lower food costs and end hunger.

In the richest country in the world, it’s inexcusable that our veterans don’t have the guarantee of food on the table. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who serve — a debt we’re falling short of meeting. It’s time to get our priorities right.

The Supreme Court has decided not to revisit its landmark ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide!

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

Conversations across the district. #listen #learn #represent #action #leadership

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

What is the matter with this man? Connecticut has loaded the full November SNAP payments onto EBT cards.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

A federal judge in RI has ordered the Trump admin to pay SNAP benefits in full by Friday saying “this is a problem that could have and should have been avoided” and he’s right. (They previously agreed to pay partial SNAP benefits but said it might take weeks or months)

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Nancy Pelosi showed a generation of women that there was room for them in politics — and how to wield power to get things done. Stepping away and making room for new leaders is in keeping with her historic career: always able to play the long game. May she enjoy the next chapter. #WhenWomenLead

Grotesque example of the unique experiences that women face running for and serving in public office. Glad the President is ok and pressing charges. #womeninoffice

Yesterday was a good day. #election #peoplepower #future #vote

Power to the people! #vote #future

“Together, we will usher in a generation of change… If tonight teaches us anything, it is that convention has held us back. We have bowed at the altar of caution, and we have paid a mighty price.” —Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield has won the mayor’s race, according to the Associated Press. She becomes the city’s first woman mayor, a Black woman, with housing for single-mother-led households as a major part of her legacy and platform. 19thnews.org/2025/11/mary...

Mary Sheffield will be the first woman and first Black woman mayor of Detroit, Michigan.

Woot woot!!

Happy Election Day! #vote

While we're waiting to watch (eep, I hope) a new generation sweep into political power -- in some cases, against the wishes of Democratic elders -- here's the piece I published yesterday on the party's gerontocracy:

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

Tomorrow is Election Day!!! Your #vote matters!! #yourvoicematters

Your vote matter! Vote in the municipal elections! Today or Tuesday! #vote #yourvoice

Final weekend of early voting before the November 4th Election!!

Corruption has been part of Washington's culture for years, and is now happening in plain sight. Everyday people will always be left behind unless we go to war against corruption. Read my new Substack post.
