Back in D.C., and on the agenda this week for House Republicans? Massive cuts to programs that assist our farmers, ranchers, and communities in rural America — all while spending millions on President Trump’s vanity projects.

As some Republicans pursue cuts to programs for needy families — under the guise of combatting “fraud” — it bears repeating that they said nothing after the Trump administration rescinded a $100 million penalty on Mississippi in one of the worst TANF frauds in our country’s history.

Tax cuts for billionaires, while gutting assistance programs for hard-working Americans. Unconscionable.

The Ls are piling up. The late night posts are getting longer. Republicans are feeling the pressure.

Republicans want to use your tax dollars to bankroll their extreme agenda, putting politics over people and raising costs for working families. Americans have had enough of the chaos and corruption. This November, voters will hold them accountable.

Congratulations to @debhaalandnm.bsky.social for winning last night's primary to be New Mexico's next governor. If elected, she'll continue to make history as the first Native American woman to serve as a governor anywhere in America. Onward!

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on. He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents. Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There’s still an opportunity to stop this in the House. Tell your member of Congress: No more money for ICE and no money for insurrectionists. act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-ba...

Senate Republicans advanced a bill last night that would send even more money to out-of-control ICE. It also wouldn’t stop the administration from distributing $2 billion to the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. apnews.com/article/trum...

Congratulations to Mayor Karen Bass on advancing to the general election. Mayor Bass has a proven track record of delivering for the city and protecting her residents against Trump’s corrupt policies. We’re proud to work with her to build on this momentum and win again in November.

Congratulations to Marni von Wilpert for Congress on advancing to the general election! This is one of Dems' top flip opportunities, and Marni has the leadership, grit and vision to win this race. EMILYs List has been with Marni since day one, and we're proud to be with her to win in November.

Today we're endorsing Rebecca Bennett. Rebecca is a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, healthcare leader, and mom who has spent her career fighting for her community. We're proud to stand with this Majority Maker as we work to take back this critical seat and the House majority!

The path to a House majority runs through New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. @rebeccabennettforcongress.com knows New Jersey deserves a leader who shows up and puts service above politics and solutions above division.

I got into this race 16 months ago to fight for the version of the country we are going to leave for my daughters and our next generation, and because Washington is failing our communities. (1/2)

I couldn’t be more honored to be the Democratic Nominee for Congress in Iowa’s First District.

1/This race has been about the impossible choices Iowans are making every single day in the richest country on earth. It is also, also about a choice voters will make come this November.

Today, we're endorsing Kathy Castor for reelection in FL-14. Republicans are pushing a blatant power grab at the expense of Florida voters, but Kathy won't be intimidated. She fights to ensure every Floridian is fairly represented. We’re proud to be with her in this critical race.

Vogue followed EMILYs List-endorsed candidate Deb Haaland across New Mexico, offering a look at her bid to become the country’s first Native American woman governor. Read the full story: https://www.vogue.com/article/can-deb-haaland-make-history-in-new-mexico-summer-interview 📸 Rahim Fortune/Vogue

Democrats need candidates who can speak directly to voters who feel ignored, squeezed, and written off. Candidates with working-class backgrounds. Candidates who are veterans, caregivers, small business owners, and public servants. EMILYs List women are all of those things.

It's clear that Donald Trump doesn’t care about your finances.

Illinois is holding a 10-day sales tax holiday for all your back-to-school needs. Under my administration, we’re putting working families first and delivering much-needed relief.

Keep speaking out against Trump like Shelly, a food service director in Bunker Hill, has for students. I was proud to share with her that we secured the largest increase in 18 years for free and reduced-price school lunches in our latest balanced budget.

Illinois' eighth balanced budget in a row advances our state's growing record of fiscal responsibility. All while continuing our investments in education, health care, housing, and jobs for working families. From start to finish, it's for the people of Illinois.

Illinois is protecting our kids where Washington and Big Tech have refused to. The Social Media Platform Fee requires companies to pay for the mental health and educational degradation they've caused — and we're banning cell phones during the school day.

Thanks to our fiscal stability, we're now making investments in Illinois to set us up for the largest amount of economic growth in state history. Our GDP surpassed $1.2 trillion last year — and we're now attracting companies experiencing double-digit annual growth rates.

Illinois passed its eighth balanced budget that puts working families first. Delivering economic relief, fighting high prices, and creating educational opportunity.

We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊

Did YOU?

He's a master of distracting us from crimes he's already committed by continuously committing new crimes. 5 months until the Midterms. #AccountabilityIsComing

Dozey Don went to the trouble of actually creating a chart to compare the length of the Reflecting Pool to the height of 3 various skyscrapers, for some reason known only to him. Towering over ALL of them is, of course, the #EPSTEIN_Files. #TheMidtermsCantComeSoonEnough

Trump's recent disclosure of his stock trades is a tale of profiteering, with telling connections between his purchases and his public support of companies. bit.ly/4dXnm4z

Members of Congress who will not vote to reauthorize Section 702 as long as Bill Pulte is slated to become acting Director of National Intelligence aren’t jeopardizing national security—they’re protecting it. 1/15

At dawn this morning, the Senate voted 47-52 not to advance a Section 702 reauthorization that would have given the Trump administration warrantless access to Americans’ communications. It’s an interim victory… but it’s crucial to take the right lessons from it. 1/11

Will the Supreme Court stand up to Trump’s extraordinary bid for expanded executive power? Experts break down what’s at stake on The Briefing with Michael Waldman. bit.ly/49JVSOt

Corruption could end up being the biggest political issue of 2026. Our new poll finds that more than 9 in 10 voters believe corruption is a big problem across politics and government: bit.ly/4dPG5yA

Our investigation found that Boston police are missing specific rules for social media monitoring, leading to questionable practices and a lack of accountability and oversight. bit.ly/4o1GTp4

@wuc3.bsky.social joined The Briefing with Michael Waldman to discuss upcoming Supreme Court cases that could shape the future of elections and representation.

A Real President for all the people 💙🌈

Breaking news: The Trump administration had plans to classify 2.7 million living people — including some U.S. citizens and lawful residents — as dead as part of its immigration enforcement efforts, according to a former senior Social Security executive.

This Pride Month let’s resolve to keep defending the civil rights and liberties of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors and of all Americans against authoritarian clampdown.

Happy Pride and keep pride in democracy.

President Trump's extraordinarily corrupt slush fund would funnel $1.8 billion of taxpayer money to his political patrons and January 6 white nationalist foot soldiers. While the courts blocked the DOJ scheme for now, Congress still must act to bar this dirty deal forever.

A bipartisan majority in the House voted to rein in President Trump's lawless, profligate and blood-soaked war in Iran. Only Congress can declare war and no such declaration has been made. This is a win for the powers and the wisdom of the legislative branch.

Tina Peters remains unrepentant and continues to spread election falsehoods. Here are the facts--she went to prison because she was convicted of serious crimes and we are fighting her baseless attempts to overturn that conviction, as I explained yesterday on CNN. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDsP...

A key question in our race: "Will the independent and Democratic voters buck the trend of billionaires swaying elections and elect Weiser, or will this billionaire investment pay off for Bennet?" The answer: Don’t let Bennet and his billionaire backers win. coloradonewsline.com/2026/06/01/b...

So disappointed with Governor Polis’ veto of SB-005, which would have allowed ICE officers to be held accountable. Here is my statement.

Here's the state of our campaign--a new poll shows we're neck and neck, with more than a third of voters still undecided. The more Coloradans hear our vision for a more affordable, freer, and safer Colorado, the stronger our campaign grows. Let's win this! www.coloradoan.com/story/news/p...

I grew up devoting my life to being of service. Serving as CO's AG is the honor of a lifetime. I'll always fight to make life better for every Coloradan & to always protect our rights and freedoms. I'd be proud to earn your vote to be Colorado's next Governor.
