Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

As my fellow Democrats in New York’s 17th congressional district head to the polls to choose our nominee from a talented group of candidates, a dark money Republican group is trying to manipulate the outcome of this and other key primaries. popular.info/p/progressiv...

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/collections/...

A little preview of Independence Day.

I'm looking forward to seeing the USMNT represent us in this World Cup. Wishing you all luck ahead of tonight's first match!

Who said it best?

The US can foster a more peaceful and prosperous world, and "A Daring Enterprise" is one such success story. Read it for an insider account of how a US-backed fund improved the lives of millions of Egyptians and advanced American interests following the Arab Spring. www.amazon.com/Daring-Enter...

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

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...

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...

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!

Good. Keep pushing back on this administration’s corruption. www.axios.com/2026/06/01/t...

Looking forward to this meeting of the minds on Monday. Join us: www.bit.ly/ubjune1

This is what Trump's done to the people's house: A third of it is rubble. Another third is a cage match. What a metaphor.

When Elaine Weiss was working on her new book, "Spell Freedom," she thought she was writing history. But so many themes from this book are back in today's headlines.

We'd love to see you on June 1 for Unfinished Business: a candid conversation about our country and its future that you won't want to miss. Join me, Nancy Pelosi, and Octavia Spencer: www.bit.ly/ubjune1

Every time I sat across the desk from Stephen Colbert, I knew we'd have a conversation that was about more than just getting laughs. Alongside his great wit, Stephen brought deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and humility to the late-night stage. Here's to a next chapter as brilliant as the last.

I was proud to call Barney Frank a friend. He was a trailblazer, a brilliant legislator, and a champion for American consumers. I'll miss his humor, his courage, and his heart, and my thoughts today are with his friends and loved ones.

Communities have been terrorized. The men who killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good have seen no accountability. Yet Republicans in Congress want even more billions for ICE at the cost of SNAP and Medicaid. Tell them no. act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...

For Trump and his friends: - A $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by you. - A $1 billion ballroom, paid for by you. For you and other American taxpayers: - Millions kicked off health care. - Highest gas prices in 5 years. - Soaring costs for groceries and other necessities.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

This is textbook corruption. kffhealthnews.org/health-indus...

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion. The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm. ca.news.yahoo.com/doj-consider...

NEWS: The @columbiaigp.bsky.social & @bakerinstitute.bsky.social Task Force on the Future of Foreign Assistance is focused on assessing the strategic rationale for US foreign assistance, reframing policy objectives, & developing actionable recommendations for a new era of global competition.

Not long ago, reauthorizations of the Voting Rights Act were bipartisan votes that Democratic and Republican presidents alike signed without controversy.

I'm thrilled to share some news: Academy-Award winning actress and producer Octavia Spencer will join me and Nancy Pelosi for our June 1 virtual event, Unfinished Business, to help elect women and other Democrats running for office this year. Can't wait to see you there. www.bit.ly/ubjune1

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

On Monday, June 1st, I'll join my friend Nancy Pelosi for Unfinished Business—a live virtual conversation on the future of our democracy, how we win in 2026, and more. Will you join us? bit.ly/ubjune1

Virginia just became the first state in the South to guarantee up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. Elections have consequences—and some of them can be pretty great! www.12onyourside.com/2026/04/24/p...

Virginians: Today's the last day to vote on an important redistricting measure. I hope you'll vote YES—for Virginia, and for the entire country. You have a chance to help level the playing field as Republicans seek an unfair advantage in Congress. Please take it. Get more info: IWillVote.com/VA

Beyond the gilded walls of Mar-a-Lago, too many families are struggling. In November, they will look for candidates who will listen to them and lead on behalf of all our kids.

A budget is a declaration of priorities. Trump has made clear that you and your family aren't one of his.

"Voters want funding for care, not foreign wars." A must-read from @reshmasaujani.com and @aijenpoo.bsky.social: time.com/article/2026...

LIVE soon 🔴 Mary Kay Henry, @awhf.bsky.social, @aijenpoo.bsky.social, @juliesulabor.bsky.social, & Jennifer Klein discuss how to support working families for a strong economy and democracy. With opening remarks by Secretary @hillaryclinton.bsky.social. Watch: youtube.com/live/q2dYGlS...

Trump has become fully unhinged and we should talk about it. www.ms.now/morning-joe/...

I got to know Eliot Engel when we both served in Congress. He represented the Bronx and Westchester with pride, making material differences in people's lives by expanding health care access and fighting for gun safety.

Orbán's loss in Hungary is a significant defeat for Putin, Trump, and for forces of authoritarianism around the world.

I frankly don't see this administration being capable of doing real diplomacy. You don't just show up, talk for a few hours, and expect real results.

Mon. guest list: David Ignatius, Richard Haass, Michael Weiss, Jim VandeHei, Rev. Al Sharpton, Rufus Gifford, Kaja Kallas, Mayor Matt Mahan, Sen. Chris Coons, Andrew Lloyd Webber, David Rohde, Paul Rieckhoff, Fmr. Amb. Michael McFaul, Dr. Vin Gupta, Carl Deal, Amy Goodman, Fmr. Secy. Hillary Clinton

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

New this morning in The New York Times Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton on how to fix the affordability crisis: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/opinion/iran-war-families-affordability-trump.html

For most parents, America’s affordability crisis is all too real, Hillary Clinton writes in an Opinion guest essay. “Our kids will pay the price for the president’s indifference.”

Parents are being asked to do more for their children while getting less help. The administration ignores these concerns and makes them worse by cutting programs to pay for Trump's war with Iran. At @nytimes.com, I lay out an urgent kids' agenda to help families. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/o...

On April 7, Sec @hillaryclinton.bsky.social, Amandeep Singh Gill, @mariaressa.bsky.social, @emilybell.bsky.social, @camillefrancois.bsky.social & Sara Sidner discuss how to safeguard freedom & democracy in the age of AI. @columbiajournalism.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/2R5FmA5...

This year, one of my favorite holidays—National Run for Office Day—has landed on the last day of Women's History Month. For any women reading this who have considered public service, take this as your sign to make a first move today. This quiz can help you get started: runforofficeday.com/quiz

It was a joy to spend a few days with some of the women who lead the Yurok Tribe in Klamath, CA. There's a lot to learn from Indigenous people's methods—both traditional and innovative—of caring for their people and their lands. Thank you again to my hosts and the friends who made this visit happen.

One of the new goals of the far right is to make it harder for women to vote. The SAVE Act, which the Senate is debating now, would be a major vehicle to achieve that goal. Spread the word about why we need to stop SAVE. indivisible.org/actions/stop...
