Millions of hardworking Americans—including many in red states—are staring down a health care cliff. The President must work with us to prevent premiums from skyrocketing and to protect families’ access to care.

Let’s not forget…

The Arizona Attorney General is suing Speaker Mike Johnson to force him to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Here’s who’s likely to win in court: @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social @jonlemire.bsky.social

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Trump’s America: Thousands of furloughed federal workers in Hyattsville, Maryland waiting in line for food.

Very concerning, if true.

Some of SpaceX’s biggest breakthroughs began in government labs. As the US retreats from science funding, the next American tech startup may not be so lucky.

Illinois has now achieved its 10th credit rating upgrade since I took office. It reflects our continued growth in financial standing and speaks volumes to our state's commitment to fiscal discipline. With each upgrade, it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.

"The fact that the nomination got this far illustrates how much antisemitic and hateful rhetoric has been normalized, explained away or rewarded by Republicans in power," @katierogersnyt.bsky.social writes of the Ingrassia case. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Federal workers don’t just serve Democrats. They serve every American citizen. And I would assume and hope everyone in the United States Senate agrees that Americans should get paid for their labor. If you believe that, I urge you to support our True Shutdown Fairness Act.

JUST FILED: Two top House Democrats ask for records on Trump's request for $230 million from DOJ www.cbsnews.com/news/house-d...

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not. I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Just a reminder that this 8th attack, just the first 7, is illegal: 1. Not self-defense 2. No (or any) Congressional authorization 3. No evidence of criminal wrongdoing 4. Int'l waters 5. No open state of hostility 6. Criminal groups are not terrorists legally 7. No id on people or group targeted

Hegseth is such a fraud lol!

Senate Democrats will offer 2 bills today from Chris Van Hollen & Gary Peters—each is co-sponsoring the other’s bill. Van Hollen’s bill would pay all federal employees during the shutdown and bar more layoffs. Peters’ proposal would pay all federal employees up through the day the bill is enacted.

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff. More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2021...

Trump says the WH golden ballroom is “for free” Come on. No corporation spends millions without expecting something back It's corruption! We @democracydefendersfund.org are pushing back I broke it down on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social 👇

The DC ACLU is suing on behalf of a man who was arrested by a National Guardsman and MPD officers for playing the Imperial March (from Star Wars) as an act of protest. www.acludc.org/app/uploads/...

🚨I'm bringing a bill to the floor right now to pay ALL federal workers, servicemembers and contractors during the shutdown — and to stop Trump's illegal firings. They have nothing to do with this shutdown and shouldn't suffer the consequences. Tune in:

❗️19th sanctions package against Russia has been adopted by the EU: ▪️ ban on LNG supplies to the EU; ▪️ a complete ban on all crypto services for Russian citizens. ▪️ restrictions on traveling for Russian diplomats; ▪️the list includes 117 more vessels from the Russian shadow fleet;

This is so very very, very good! Take a little while and listen.

NEW: Amid purge at Justice Dept, two ousted corruption prosecutors (who were part of Jack Smith team), start their own firm to help local authorities stop corruption Just filed ====> www.cbsnews.com/news/ousted-...

Just a quick PSA that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in your public movements. This is why law enforcement can follow YOU or photograph YOU in public without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Law enforcement doesn’t get “extra” protection in that regard. Goose/gander etc.

The Pentagon announces they are replacing The New York Times’ press credentials with the MyPillow guy’s media outlet.

Imagine claiming "all life is sacred" while cutting SNAP benefits & cheering the extrajudicial murder of foreign ppl in boats.

Health care is worth the fight. As we approach the open enrollment period, I’m continuing to work towards a solution that will protect health insurance and lower costs. Americans are facing already high costs and not extending the ACA tax credits will hurt working families.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Tonight, I'm proud to stand with @merkley.senate.gov as he shines a bright light on the dangers that we face and the fragile moment our democracy is in. Thank you, Senator Merkley, for your words and your fight tonight.

Keith Ellison truly is the people’s lawyer. Time and time again, he’s shown whose side he’s on—always fighting for Minnesotans in every zip code across our state. I’m proud to endorse Keith Ellison for Attorney General and ask you to join me.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Trump promised to import beef from Argentina. Now he’s attacking U.S. cattle ranchers saying they should be more grateful to him. Unbelievable.

Trump Keeps Attacking Americans. Why Does He Get Away With It? Republicans can insult half the country without consequence. Democrats say “deplorables” once and never hear the end of it.

“It is important to demonstrate that authoritarian gains are not permanent. That liberal society has the will to undo their grotesqueries. Demolishing the Trump ballroom and restoring the East Wing will be symbolic. But symbolism matters to authoritarians.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te...

Democrats in the House and Senate announced plans for a wide-ranging investigation into immigration agents’ detention of citizens after a ProPublica story found that more than 170 Americans have been held by immigration officials this year.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Q: Has Speaker Johnson reached out to you since the January 6er made a threat on your life? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: No

A new poll shows Americans blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats for the shutdown 53%-37%. (Independents blame Trump by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, 58%-21%.). People aren’t dumb.

Trump may grab $230M in taxpayer money for himself That implicates federal ethics rules, criminal conflict of interest laws & the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause We have 200+ legal cases & matters against Trump If he does this, it’ll be 201 I explained on @msnbc.com👇

He. Will. Lie. About. Anything. ANYTHING.

Go Jeff! He’s been a super strong voice in our fight against authoritarianism. I hope people tuned in.
