As we come to the end of a very difficult year I wanted to say a few words about *some* of the issues that, with your help, I will focus on next year. At the top of my list: - Campaign finance reform - Income & wealth inequality  - The rapid deployment of AI - Medicare for All

What arrogance. What narcissism. I will be introducing legislation prohibiting the naming of federal buildings after sitting presidents.

There is NO reason why we shouldn’t be voting to extend the ACA health care credits TODAY. We are just days away from millions of Americans losing their health care coverage or facing crushing cost increases.

An important new report from @climateintegrity.org illustrates how BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil & Shell have inundated the public w/ deceptive advertisements, positioning themselves as "green" when in fact they are actively fueling climate catastrophe around the globe. #Greenwashing #ClimateAccountablity

Republicans fought release of Epstein materials every step of the way, are now refusing to release the second strike boat video, and won’t let Jack Smith testify in public. They constantly hide everything they are doing from the American people.

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

Fact-check: During his address tonight, President Donald Trump said of migrants that "many ... came from prisons and jails, mental institutions and insane asylums" and that they were drug dealers. That's Pants on Fire: buff.ly/bv1z5NA

Trump claimed Rob Reiner had “Trump derangement syndrome.”

Yeah, hard to explain that... #TDS #ItsAcult #MAGAtNation

Families are paying more and more for electricity, but instead of backing clean, cheap energy that would lower costs and deliver relief, Washington Republicans are siding with polluters over the American people.

BREAKING: The Energy Dept's watchdog just agreed to open an investigation into Russ Vought and Secretary Wright’s cancelling of energy grants at my, @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov urging. Trump's targeting of blue states is unlawful and deserves rigorous oversight.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, highest since 2021. https://to.pbs.org/4rVhlLP

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

"Deliberately dismantling an institution so central to weather forecasting and climate change prediction would not only undermine scientific research, it would leave people across the nation less prepared for the dangers of a warming world." Said @carlonimbus.bsky.social.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) on GOPers letting ACA tax credits expire: "We live in the richest country in the history of the world. We have a trillionaire.... And yet we're being told millions of people need to lose their health care because we can't afford it? That's obscene."

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

This is the desert of the real. The Wachowskis called it. But like Bernie says, no one wants this. Folks are organizing in amazing ways.

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust. He has proven these points virtually every day since. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It's utterly insane, but statistically probably unsurprising, that there was more than one Brown student who had previously experienced a mass school shooting, including one who was actually shot, @miatretta.bsky.social. It doesn't have to be this way.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Respecting the military means respecting the laws that govern when and why they are sent into harm’s way. There is no existing Authorization for Use of Military Force that clearly applies to Venezuela, and Congress has not approved military action there.

Alongside 21 AGs, we’re opposing the Trump Admin’s proposed rule to gut several parts of CFPB’s Equal Credit Opportunity Act regulations, effectively eliminating critical antidiscrimination tools.   Everyone deserves fair access to credit. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

California thrives because AmeriCorps members like the Climate Action Corp fellows make the selfless choice to serve.    Their work is indispensable.     We will continue to fight for this vital program and the dedicated service members who support it. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Pleased to see Dylan Collins and his family today. Dylan is a Vermonter & an American hero — a journalist wounded in an Israeli attack while reporting in Lebanon. For more than two years he’s been demanding an investigation of that criminal act. We stand with him.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

The truth: inflation is up because of President Trump’s tariffs.

Denmark isn’t exaggerating. If a country threatens to seize another’s territory, it becomes a potential threat by definition, even if they are treaty allies on paper. This is the situation Trump has created for Greenland and Denmark. #holdfast #steadystate

The Trump administration keeps threatening to interfere with the full release of the Epstein Files. To ensure there is no tampering with the files ahead of their legally-required release, we need an independent audit of who at the Justice Department had access. And when.

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

The Trump administration has given free rein to some of the most polluting industries in the country. We created an interactive map showing 546 industrial sites across the US and Puerto Rico deemed eligible for exemptions from their Clean Air Act requirements. #DirtyDeeds (🧵)

Jasmine Crockett: “Democrats that believe the only way that you can win is by being soft & sounding like a Republican — That is not true — What people are looking for are people that are tough & are going to fight for them fight for better health care fight for access to jobs fight for education”

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Trump says it's an A++++ economy. He's right. His billionaire friends have never had it better. If you're a working class person: 👉60% live paycheck to paycheck 👉Grocery prices at record highs 👉Premiums to double for 20+ million The economy must work for all, not just the 1%

California would take the spill risk while the oil companies, many not even in California, would take the profit. Trump wants to bring drilling back. I am renewing legislation to BAN IT PERMANENTLY and keep our coastline safe.

Today is the 68th anniversary of the creation of the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and over 200 recent employees have shared an open letter decrying the near-destruction of the division’s mission and expressing the hope to one day rebuild it.

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

Our lawyers were at the Supreme Court defending the will of the people, not the will of billionaires. We aren’t going to allow Republicans to erode campaign finance protections. Along with the DCCC and DSCC, we’re standing up for the people and fighting for fair elections.

Well said, Hope.

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China. His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority." Trump and Lutnick need to answer to Congress on why they are selling out US security.
