(1/2): This afternoon I joined Fairfax’s Uyghur American community for their Uyghur Republic Commemoration event. Fairfax County is home to the largest Uyghur population in the US, and their history, culture, and ongoing fight for human rights deserves to be seen and heard.

1 in 4 Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. And what is Trump doing about it? Driving up the cost of groceries with his tariffs and slashing Medicaid and SNAP. All while giving trillions of dollars in tax breaks to his billionaire buddies. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/e...

Fairfax Democrats delivered record margins to elect Abigail Spanberger and the Democratic ticket this year. @markwarnerva.bsky.social and I joined Sully Dems and Dranesville Dems to thank their volunteers and gear up for 2026.

She needs to mobilize other republicans to vote on Dems who will change that shit. But she won’t.

It’s wildly unacceptable to crack down on LEGAL immigration and people getting their green cards the right way. My office is looking into this.

Republicans wrote themselves a taxpayer-funded legal bailout for January 6. Every hour spent on this self-serving provision should have been spent working to lower costs for Americans struggling to afford healthcare. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

See that Rolex clock and gold bar? It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off. Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%. While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

The lengths that Trump and Republicans are willing to go to in order to coverup the Epstein files is a serious red flag.  The people deserve the truth, and next week I will vote to force the White House to release the files.

I was up in Dunellen, NJ this morning to talk with business owners about the need to invest in public transportation infrastructure.  For these small businesses, restoring funding for the Gateway Project means improved train service, more foot traffic, and greater economic opportunity. 1/2

Families haven’t magically stopped needing help, especially as inflation and the president’s tariffs drive prices higher. They know this is wrong.

Thanks Biden/Harris administration!

You should worried as much about this as you are with “Sharia Law”.

Democrats want to make government work for you.

Hey Louisiana? Have you voted today? You’re not guaranteed to have an election but about half the parishes due so check this guide and vote if you haven’t already! Polls close in three hours! And Abington, Massachusetts you also have one www.thedailyelm.com/p/election-d...

Senior Counsel Aman joined legal professionals committed to protecting our Constitution at the #lawyersmarch for Democracy today to issue a call to action to lawyers across the U.S. Together, we the people, will defend our democracy.

Grocers in every borough took a hit because Trump withheld food assistance. Some paid out of pocket so neighbors could eat. When others lowered prices to help, USDA threatened them. I’m proud that New Yorkers showed true kindness by helping each other out. It’s the opposite of Trump’s cruelty.

Ever wondered what Election Day looks like behind the scenes? Take a look. 🙌

My sis just returned from France and reports almost NO gas powered vehicles, cars & trucks - all electric. Windmills everywhere. Many people on bicycles. While the rest of the world is climate forward, we are regressing, thanks to these morons. Proj. 2025. It's fucking embarrassing.

Between Republicans jeopardizing access to food and healthcare and President Trump’s chaotic trade wars, families are already struggling to make ends meet. It's time to get serious, folks.

50 years after Lady Bird Johnson brought together thousands of people at the @lbjlibrary.bsky.social to speak about women in public life, I joined Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison to encourage women to stay involved. A great crowd, including Lynda Bird Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson!

This week on #Substack I'm revealing what most people don't know about the history, importance and power of their local State Party. https://jaimeharrison.substack.com

Vacation’s over, Republicans. Release the files NOW. #mtpol

Important follow up reporting on the over-the-top Chicago raid. Great work by ProPublica.

ORLANDO! Care about building transit, affordable housing, reducing traffic, and protecting the environment? Then listen up. We have an election coming up in City Council District 3 and I've endorsed Mira Tanna. Vote on or before December 9th.

Folks don’t need an “affordability message.” They need things to actually be affordable!

Federal workers: The government shutdown may have ended, but we know that many of you are still dealing with its lasting repercussions. We want to hear from you. Here's how to securely reach out: https://propublica.org/tips

This is a heist, plain and simple. Just nonstop grift and corruption from this crooked President and his administration. They're doing nothing to make life more affordable for regular people, but they ARE working overtime to get rich using taxpayer dollars and resources.

Thank you, Sen. Patty Murray, for standing with Starbucks workers and pushing for a fair contract that ensures good pay and working conditions for 12,000 workers.

BREAKING: We won a court order blocking Pres. Trump’s attempt to stifle First Amendment rights and gain political control over the University of California system. The President can't force people to think or believe only the way he does. This is a key victory for our clients and the rule of law.

without republicans propping him up and protecting him, trump is in prison long ago.

“Arsonist pretending to be a firefighter” sure sums up a lot of people doesn’t it? Excellent.

So let me get this right, Trump’s plan was: 1. Tariff everything to help the economy (it didn’t) 2. Claim consumers aren’t paying tariffs (we are) 3. Panic & roll back food tariffs b/c you created an affordability crisis (we told you) Arsonist claiming to be a firefighter.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined a panel of esteemed leaders at @texastribune.org's festival today for a conversation on the authoritarian threats we’re facing. We will keep fighting, in courtrooms and communities, to protect our democracy and the American people.

Donald Trump thinks he can intimidate his political opponents. But it’s our duty as Members of Congress to conduct oversight in ICE detention centers. I stand by @replamonica.bsky.social, who is facing baseless charges. We’ve all seen the videos—Rep. McIver did nothing wrong.

ICYMI: WA Dems are grateful to Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell for holding the line. They voted NO to try and protect 22 MILLION Americans, including the 220,000+ Washingtonians, from skyrocketing healthcare costs. They understand that we deserve affordability, not broken promises.

Btw, Platner said in March 2025 that resistance to Trump in his first term consisted of the Women’s March and then “it petered out.” I don’t remember it that way and I bet you don’t either. That certainly wasn’t true in Maine, right?

Here's a thought, Tim, how about you work harder to bring back Black and Latino men, work harder to get people to understand the consequences of not voting and that their vote does count before we go all in for former Nazis. White men who admire Nazis are not our demographic. Ever.

Big news that Trump is going to war with Congresswoman (no quotes needed) Marjorie Taylor Greene. But not big enough to distract us from the Epstein files.

ICE is an out-of-control federal agency terrorizing our communities. Their aggressive tactics and abusive behavior in Washington County and across Oregon are outrageous and dangerous.

This moment requires your leadership. Look around your community. Find a table. Take a seat. And if there’s no seats available, as my hero Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm once said, bring your own.

🚨🚨🚨 CALL TO ACTION:

Whispers* It has always been about none of the Republican supporting her for higher office, even if she does actually care about the list.

In closing, I'll go back to what I said last night: bsky.app/profile/char...

Instead, he and/or his advisors decided to go the exasperated, "Fine, if it's SUCH a big deal I'll cover it up, SATISFIED NOW?" route, like a teenager who blows off putting dishes in the dishwasher & finally does so after being nagged while rolling their eyes & making a big show of doing so.

If he had STARTED his campaign playing the "I used to be a complete dick, then I changed, here's my journey from asshole to decent person" narrative, including "I even got a fucking Nazi tattoo because I was a naive moron in my youth" I'd be a LOT more sympathetic. But he didn't.

5. Finally: I believe him when he says that he's a different person now. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that the person he's changed into is much better, seeing how the person he is NOW is a wannabe national-level politician trying to gaslight people AFTER being busted for being an asshole in his past.

4. I think that he made cutesy references to it being "my Totenkopf" around friends/family years ago, as several people who knew him have claimed, but honestly thought it was No Big Whup. He STILL doesn't seem to grasp how Big of a Whup it is even now. He's STILL treating it like a mere annoyance.

He might've even thought he, who has "hated Nazis since he was 12" was getting the tattoo "ironically" like Matthew Modine wearing both a peace symbol button & "Born to Kill" on his helmet in Full Metal Jacket. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMEV...

3. I personally think that he knew damned well what it was when he got it but didn't give a shit at the time because at that time he was a shitposting edgelord type who thought it was "cool" & "macho" & "alpha male" & "edgy" to get a Nazi tattoo at the time.
