BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Mike Knows!

Trump has broken his own record for longest shutdown… and working families pay the price. It’s long past time for him and Mike Johnson to actually come to the negotiating table and try to get a real deal done.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

We’ll stay on the streets every day, bringing people Inside Safe and restoring neighborhoods across Los Angeles. And if it's ever needed again, I won't hesitate to reinstate an emergency declaration.

Republicans are throwing a tantrum because Californians stood up to Donald Trump's election-rigging scheme. Cry harder.

Trump has now overseen the two longest government shutdowns in history — with the current one reaching 36 days. He ran on fixing a broken system and helping working people. Instead, he’s making the system even worse and shafting working people by gutting the social safety net.

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

🙏🏽 Amen.

Now that’s a fighter!

NOW OPEN: First-ever District owned and operated animal shelter and hospital. It's been many years in the making, and now, it's time for DC families to come take home your new pet. Animal adoption fees are waived through this Sunday, November 9th.

Awful. Trump has the power to do more to help hungry Americans—including children—he’s just choosing not to. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

This is the kind of thing which makes me think better things are possible.

You absolutely would not want to be, or be anywhere near, any bottle of ketchup in what remains of the White House today.

So wonderful to spend the day connecting with Virginians as they head to the polls. It’s the people I meet in every corner of the Commonwealth that inspire my work. Less than 2 hours until polls close. Let’s do this, Virginia!

We need a functioning Republican Party that believes in Congressional oversight, not whatever this is they have become.

TSA workers were told sick calls will bring “appropriate accountability measures to the fullest extent possible” after the shutdown ends—but airport screeners told Forbes such threats would likely backfire.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year. Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase. This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

“In the last week, everyone wants to volunteer, and that’s wonderful,” Aisenbrey said. “We need it. We need every single person.” www.berkshireeagle.com/news/local/b...

Virginia, if you’re in line to vote by 7pm, stay in line!

Prop 50 is about deciding that Donald Trump is going to be accountable to the democracy—to each one of us. Polls close in just over 5 hours! Find your polling place: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Virginians are ready to vote — and ready to win. 🇺🇲

rightwing guy inherits insurance empire from his dad. struck with revelation that the rich should run everything! "a proper elite that takes care of the country". builds JD vance from dust to ensure just that. profits! gets wapo treatment as a big thinker. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits. This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans. As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

This is a victory worth savoring. Let's keep raising our voices for a government that serves all of us. democracyforward.org/updates/fede...

Through our Organized Retail Theft Task Force, the California Highway Patrol has made nearly 800 arrests, launched 500+ investigations, and recovered $8.6M in stolen goods so far this year. The message is clear: we won’t tolerate organized retail theft.

Reproductive freedom is on the ballot today. Let me be very clear — I will always protect a woman’s right to choose in Virginia.

I cast my ballot today, and you can too! Our campaign is built on our shared values and a stronger, more affordable Virginia. Tonight, we’ll win this together.

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits. Remember: Trump is a failing president. He is not all powerful.

Honestly, I don't think Trump's incomprehension of political asylum has anything to do with his serious personality-disorder-related psychiatric afflictions and his seeming dementia, which both raise 25th Amendment questions. I do, however, think it reflects his utter stupidity ….

Virginia, are you ready to turn the page? Polls are open until 7pm. Let’s win. abigailspanberger.com/vote

I spoke with Virginians who wrote my office to share their concerns about the expiration of ACA tax credits and how it will impact them and their families. Rising costs put people’s businesses, retirement savings, and basic needs at risk. We cannot stand by as people fall off this health care cliff.

📢California 📢 Election Day is here and I hope you’ll join me in voting YES on Prop 50. Polls are open until 8pm tonight. Find your polling place: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...
