The fight goes on to save health care for millions of people. Here's what just happened in the Senate.

Definition of authoritarianism…

UPDATE: Democrats just put a bill on the floor to save health care. Republicans voted to shut down the government and keep up the health care crisis THEY created. We're not giving up on this.

TOMORROW! Join @senvincenthughes.bsky.social for a 30,000-book giveaway! ⏰10AM-2PM 📍Salvation Army at 1340 Brown Street www.senatorhughes.com/event/litera...

@senvincenthughes.bsky.social was in Mantua celebrating the opening of Triangle Village, new affordable housing for seniors. The project was led by Reverend James Moore and made possible by federal, state, city, and private investments. Team work really makes the dream work!

We’re on the verge of a government shutdown because Republicans refuse to fix the health care emergency in America. I’m on my way to the Senate floor to sound the alarm.

No one should go bankrupt because they got sick and needed to see a doctor. If Republicans want to shut down government so they can keep increasing costs and cutting health care, then they need to explain that to the American people. youtube.com/shorts/V3lE2...

Three police officers were killed and two were wounded yesterday in Pennsylvania when a suspect opened fire. Police had just arrived to serve a warrant for a domestic-related incident. No one is safe in a country where dangerous people can so easily access guns —not even our law enforcement.

It’s long past time for Donald Trump to release the Epstein files. Now, there’s another layer that you may not know about Epstein. And if Republicans weren’t scared, Congress could do something about it. Here’s how: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDrM...

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Measles cases hit record highs with RFK Jr. in charge. Now, his hand-picked vaccine panel just voted to make it harder for little babies to get vaccinated for measles and other diseases. How does that keep our kids safe?

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

A month ago, RFK Jr. called his CDC director “unimpeachable.” Then she refused to sign off on his plan to put little kids’ health at risk, and he fired her. RFK Jr. should resign.

RFK Jr. must resign.

Nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade threaten rural hospitals and maternity care access—forcing rural families to travel hours for childbirth. This is not just policy—it’s a matter of justice. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/09/01/medicaid-cuts-rural-maternity-care/

It’s been 100 years since A. Philip Randolph organized Black sleeping car porters and got them into the AFL while half the affiliates were whites only. And in WWII he told FDR he’d lead a march on Washington if the armed services and fed bureaus weren’t desegregated. He won. BlackLaborMatters✊🏽

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

I first fought alongside Jerry Nadler when we took on a corrupt bankruptcy system that was rigged against working families. When New Yorkers needed a champion, Nadler always had their backs. He’s a man of principle, and I’m deeply grateful for his years of public service.

This week, gun violence once again devastated innocent families — making clear that the stakes are too high not to act. To reestablish a gun safety majority in the Senate next fall and get things done, we need champions like @corybooker.com leading the fight.
