those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

The Trump administration is still choosing to withhold lifesaving food assistance from millions of Americans. We're asking a court to require the USDA to release complete SNAP benefits for November. I'll keep fighting this shameful inaction until every New Yorker is fed.

This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward. In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

Donald Trump must follow the law and give people their full SNAP payments. Trump is using hungry children, veterans, and seniors as a political tool. It’s fundamentally wrong.

In the first year of Trump’s term, electricity prices increased by 11%. Congressional Republicans have no answers for families hit hard by high utility costs. Instead, they continue to pursue policies to make this affordability crisis worse.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

We already know what makes our communities safer, and it's not troops on our streets. It's giving people accessible housing, food, employment, health care, and education opportunities.

NEW: Last night, a federal judge issued a permanent block on the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon. This is a win for the rule of law. No troops on our streets – anywhere.

We're 10 months into Trump's presidency, and prices are up across the board thanks to his chaotic tariffs. Coffee prices are up 21%. Ground beef prices are up 13%. Whatever happened to Trump’s promise of lowering costs “on day one”?

A tyrant doesn’t negotiate when compassion is the price. He starves the people, then blames their hunger on the ones offering bread. Let the record show, when given the choice between power and compassion, the GOP chose the lock over the key. #ACASubsidies

Art is emotion through expression. AI does not think and it cannot feel. It is a program designed to scrounge the internet to pass things off as its own. All the while stealing jobs from real artists and soaking up drinking water.

The Trump administration doesn't get to decide who we are. Trans people won't be erased.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

No health care, no deal.

A GOP budget that spikes health premiums to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a grave betrayal of everyday families. That was true in July. It was true in September. And it remains true today. House Democrats are not giving up. We’ll keep fighting for the American people.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide. Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

6. Notably, the House versions of the VA/MilCon, Legislative Branch, and Agriculture funding bills did contain anti-LGBTQ+ riders before the shutdown. If the House accepts the Senate’s compromise, it would mark some of the first major defeats for those provisions in the FY26 budget fight.

5. Dems voting for the agreement include: - Sen Durbin (IL) - Sen Cortez Masto (NV) - Sen Rosen (NV) - Sen Fetterman (PA) - Sen Hassan (NH) - Sen Shaheen (NH) - Sen Kaine (VA) - And Independent Sen. King (ME)

Republicans in Congress extended tax breaks for billionaire corporations, but they refused to extend tax credits to lower health costs for working people. While Trump and Republicans inflict pain on people, Democrats’ most important job is to fight back. This deal is a mistake.

House Democrats will not give up the fight for affordable health care. We will not rubber stamp Republicans' extreme premium hikes. We will not help them fund billionaire tax cuts with your money. We will not back down. Not now. Not ever.

NEW: We just filed an amicus brief with other free speech groups urging the Supreme Court to maintain the block on President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago. Our First Amendment right to protest must be protected.

This week, House Republicans will vote to inflict needless pain on the American people.   Their budget hikes premiums and leaves millions of families without health care. I'll be voting no.

The American people want us to stand and fight to lower costs, and that's what I believe we must do.

Just to let people know: yes, I think the caucus is antidemocratic and favor the non-working classes no we are not going to change that by refusing to participate in them

Please note that my remarks are limited to Colorado, because I know what you have to do to get a real challenger on the primary ballot. Wherever you are, focus on that. We need to get it done.

As an example: the last time I caucused for a candidate, there were three people there for my district. We were electing five representatives. Me showing up, by myself, got two reps for the candidate I was caucusing for.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

All young people deserve to be able to see themselves and the issues that impact them reflected in their classrooms and in the books they’re reading. Students have a right to read and learn free from censorship.

Thank you! I get enraged when I hear the term “underage women”. There is no such thing! They are children!

And, to state the obvious: Mental illness doesn't make you a racist or sexist or antisemite plenty of people deal with mental illness without repeatedly praising genocidal fascists, somehow

When Rep. Grijalva takes her oath tonight, she will be the final signature needed to release the Epstein files. Now, Trump is working the phones to intimidate House Republicans into backing out. I wonder why?

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

Your power shouldn't be shut off during government shutdowns when Republicans freeze the release of funds that help families pay for heating and cooling. My bill would push utilities to keep the heat on for working families who are being blocked from the help they deserve.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

I'm leading a group of AGs to continue our fight to defend temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants across our nation. I will keep fighting to protect the rights of our immigrant communities from this federal administration.

Americans told us they need lower health care costs. So Republicans ripped away their health care, jacked up costs, and handed over giant tax cuts to billionaires. It's shameful. But I’m not going to stop fighting.

The Republican shutdown may be ending but the fight for health care is far from over. We won’t stop fighting to make our health care system work for working people not billionaires.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration over inhumane conditions at California’s largest immigration detention center. People detained there have long fought abuse and the denial of basic needs like food and medical care.

🚨 Do not hand your unlocked phone to law enforcement 🚨 Normalising the surrender of unlocked devices — esp at borders — is a dangerous precedent Apple is fore-fronting. Pushing an unlocked phone as standard-issue ID &commercialising #surveillance under the guise of “convenience” #privacy #digitalID

The GOP shutdown is over. But Democrats' fight for your health care isn't. We will use every tool we have to extend ACA tax credits and lower your costs. We’re not giving up because you deserve better.

Release the jobs report. Release the Epstein files. Stop hiding the truth.

Trump promised to lower costs “on day one.” His own data shows he’s failing to deliver – but he’s lying and claiming he brought costs down anyway. How can you trust Trump to make things better when he can’t even admit you’re hurting in the first place?

Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA more than 70 times. They have defunded Medicaid and Medicare. They have voted to hike premiums, cut medical research, and close hospitals. They own this health care crisis.

This will only get easier with AI, body dysmorphia about to go crazy

Urge Congress to stop the expansion of the ICE mass detention system, demand access to these facilities, and hold ICE accountable.
