RFK and the hacks he’s appointed have to go. Their incompetence puts the nation at risk.

Let me be clear: any Democrat who supports these bills, as written by demagogue Republicans, does so at their own political peril. Statutory changes can be helpful but there are better ways to deal with the issues in DC - and Home Rule matters. apnews.com/article/wash...

See ya Hubbell.

Bernie Sanders: Kennedy Must Resign www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

RFK and the wacky zealots who surround him are endangering the nation’s health and future well being. MRNA vaccines are safe and effective - full stop. Kennedy must resign if the nation is to be safe.

The murder of little angels at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis - and so many other places - by people with assault weapons (or any other firearm) is a "national sin.” This is not a mere political issue. It is a defining moral one.

This gerrymandering crisis in Texas has its roots in an ideological Supreme Court decision from 2019 and a stolen Supreme Court seat.

Time to get tough. When they try to cheat we have to fight.

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.

It’s time for those of us who support our democracy to get tough.

My statement on the decision to federalize the MPD.

This is yet another affirmation by a federal court that under the STILL NEEDED Voting Rights Act, Alabama must have two Black opportunity districts. Alabama Republicans tried AGAIN to deny Black voters the power they are due and once again they were stopped. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

While they should be focused on disaster flood relief, Republicans in Texas - following the orders of the White House - are trying to manipulate maps and rig the 2026 midterm elections. This is yet another national scandal.

I’m glad to be joined by Leader Jeffries, Speaker Emerita Pelosi, TX Congressman Casar, and TX House Democratic Caucus Chair Wu tomorrow @ 7pm ET for NDRC’s and affiliates’ live event to take action to stop Texas Republicans’ scheme to gerrymander the state even more. www.mobilize.us/ndrc/event/8...

Five years ago today, we lost one of my heroes, John Lewis. So much of what we take for granted too often today is as a result of his life’s work. We must resolve to make our collective memory of John Lewis a living, active one. We must finish that journey toward justice that he led for so long.

Let’s be clear: Trump and the Republican’s scheme to cling to their slim, unearned majority in the House—by further gerrymandering Texas and Ohio—should alarm every American. They are scared of the voters, so they want to silence them. truthout.org/articles/tex...

Worth a read. You may not agree with every proposal but this is an excellent plan to protect - and restore - our democracy.

Republicans in Texas are attempting to steal the midterm elections and secure illegitimate power for themselves by drawing an even MORE gerrymandered map. And they are doing so at a time of tragedy when they should be focused on their constituents. Shameful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This week I joined @katiecouric.bsky.social’s podcast to discuss the Trump administration’s ongoing dismantling of the DOJ, the frightening erosion of our democracy and institutions, and how the American people must focus and be involved in the fight to preserve our democracy. youtu.be/mrMRuh-5Bw4

On this day in June, 1963 - Vivian Malone - with the help of the United States Department of Justice - integrated the University of Alabama. She would go on to become the first black graduate of the school. Courage. Commitment. Perseverance.

Enough. No policy of negotiation, appeasement or capitulation is going to work with these dishonest, morally bankrupt extremists. They want to control/destroy higher education. It’s time for my beloved @Columbia to hold true to its enduring values. Time to stand and fight.

For the media, political leaders, my fellow citizens - apply the “Barack Test” as you witness the dismemberment of our democracy. What would you have said/done if Barack had done what the Trump administration is doing almost daily. Why are you quiet now? Time to get vocal, committed and ACTIVE.

Happy Birthday Maya.

Knicks. Enough. Take all the starters out Tibs

This is a good day for democracy. The generations of Black Alabamians who fought to achieve equal representation had their sacrifice and commitment recognized today. Because of their tenacity—Black Alabamians will continue to vote on a fair map that gives them their legally mandated voting power.

Finally. Justice Allison Riggs will now have the opportunity to continue her distinguished service to the people of North Carolina. Never underestimate the power of a focused, committed American people.

What’s happening in the Sunshine State should be a warning to the American people, at a time when there is a real danger to our democracy: that too many Republicans in too many places are willing to do anything—anything—to win.

Some North Carolina Republicans are trying to steal an election for the state’s Supreme Court (by changing the rules AFTER they lost) and disenfranchising thousands of voters. Raise your voice on this latest example of partisan cheating—you can influence the outcome. youtu.be/v9BSe6RnxGA

Harvard and a few other universities are leading in what will be a successful effort to protect an essential part of our democracy. All must be prepared to resist efforts to stifle academic freedom.

Hegseth has to go.

We are witnessing an outright theft attempt by 4 Republicans on the North Carolina Supreme Court An effort to disenfranchise voters in only certain counties-WHO SERVE IN THE MILITARY or reside overseas The decision brings great dishonor to the Court. This blatant attempt at vote theft cannot stand

The Republican members of the North Carolina courts continue to try to steal an election Telling overseas military members-and others-that their votes may not count is a breathtaking affront to our democracy and their service - it’s cheating We will continue the fight for voters and for justice.

And what’s a “dribble” handoff??🤦🏽‍♂️

What’s a “dribble” drive?? How can you drive without dribbling.

A decisive and needed win last night for democracy, for Wisconsin, for THE PEOPLE. Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford who will be an excellent justice on the state’s Supreme Court.

Time to vote - no excuses. If you want democracy you have to DO democracy.

WISCONSIN One day to go: Vote FOR Susan Crawford for Supreme Court. Vote “NO” on the Constitutional amendment. It’s unnecessary - Wisconsin already has a very strict voter ID.

FLORIDA - time to make America sane again. Vote for Josh Weil (FL06) and Gay Valimont (FL01) in the special Congressional election on April 1st. The CAN win - vote! These races are tight. They will help stop the chaos. They will work for the people, not the billionaires.

In Wisconsin it’s Musk Money vs. Democracy Elect Susan Crawford to the Supreme Court Ensure that Democracy wins. Vote!

Big wins in PA Tuesday. NDRC endorsed Democracy Defender Dan Goughnour won his race in HD-35, defending Dems’ majority in the chamber—and James Malone flipped a seat in a R+23 Senate district. So far in 2025, Dems continue to outperform Republicans in elections. We can do this!

The material need NOT be “classified” for criminal liability to attach (but hard legal standard to meet - “gross negligence”) Further investigation to see, among other things, if this method had been used before is necessary And the likelihood that this material is, in fact, classified is great

Florida– there are two critically important special elections coming up on April 1st that could bring some sense of balance, some sanity back to Congress. Vote for Gay Valimont (FL-01) & Josh Weil (FL-06). We need these two voices of reason in the US House. We’re one week away. Make a plan to vote.

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote
