Victory for democracy! Court rules for fairly drawn district in Utah.

Speaker Pelosi is a truly historic figure. Her record of accomplishment as Speaker is unparalleled. And she’s as compassionate as she is tough. Nancy Pelosi is the GOAT - she will be missed by the nation. And by me.

When people stand up, speak out, and get involved - we move our country forward.

Governor Moore’s proposal for a redraw process in Maryland is a responsible and responsive action to Trump’s demand for extreme and democracy threatening mid-decade gerrymanders in Texas and beyond. Our democracy is under attack— we have no choice but to defend it.

Tell them why you haven’t voted yet or why you are not voting on Election Day. They sacrificed and marched so you could vote. It’s not too late. No excuses. Vote!

As Governor, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will protect New Jerseyans’ fundamental freedoms, including voting rights, workers’ rights and reproductive rights. Her opponent will do none of these things. The choice is clear in this consequential election. Mikie stands with the people. Vote for Mikie!

If Republicans were proud of/confident about their record - and didn’t fear the voters - they wouldn’t have to do these awful gerrymanders that attack our democracy. They know they have nothing to run on. They’re scared.

I’m proud to endorse @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for Governor of New Jersey. Congresswoman Sherrill’s life & career have been all about service to our country and to NJ. Mikie will make an excellent Gov. who will fight for our kids’ future, stand up for the people & make NJ more affordable and safe.

Word.

A great new podcast about women’s health.

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.
