Let's talk about Epstein. Tomorrow at 10:30am ET, Rep. Thomas Massie and I are holding a press conference with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. We have invited them to the steps of the People's House so all of America can finally hear their stories.
Rallying with @sanders.senate.gov in New Hampshire to continue our fight for an economy that works for all people, not just the billionaires. Over 3,000 people joined us outside the Concord statehouse.
The US Congress should not require a Federal Circuit decision to assert our voice. We should vote to repeal Trump's blanket tariffs. Let's begin with my bipartisan bill to repeal the COFFEE tariff!
I shared with @kristenwelker.bsky.social that California redistricting is needed as a response to Republicans gutting the 1965 Voting Rights Act and trying to eliminate seats like those of Rep. Cleaver and Rep. Clyburn.
@meetthepress.com, Trump and JD Vance have a failed economic record. The facts: - Consumer confidence has tanked - Farm closures have doubled - Manufacturing is down 7 months in a row - CPI is 3% & the price of hamburgers has surged - Unemployment for recent college grads is over 11%

Our campaign is continuing to gain momentum! I’m proud to have @rokhanna.bsky.social’s endorsement! Ro’s been a bold, progressive leader for economic justice, workers’ rights, and a government that actually serves the people. I’m grateful to have his support as we fight for TX-18.
He also understands that to earn the trust of voters, Democrats must once again offer bold ideas and real solutions that improve the lives of working-class people across the country.
Today I’m proud to endorse @paulnolley.bsky.social for Congress in Illinois’ 16th District. Paul is a proven fighter for working families who believes in a national renewal built on good-paying jobs with strong benefits for every American.
There are many cities in states run by Republican Governors with high crime rates. So it is the politicization that has raised red flags (pun intended).
If fighting crime is the goal and not just a display of power, why is every city Trump is targeting for national guard deployment for a "crime emergency" in a state with a Democratic governor?
This is not complicated. Our party needs moral clarity. 1. No sales of military weapons used to kill civilians (Sanders res). 2. Recognition of a Palestinian state (my letter). 3. No Hamas, elections, & release of all hostages. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Trump keeps saying the war in Gaza will end but gives Netanyahu a blank check. Each day civilians are killed or starved. The war ends when we stop giving Israel military weapons to kills civilians & when we, like 147 nations with France, Canada, UK, recognize a Palestinian state.
Many people voted for Trump because they wanted to blow up a system that wasn't working for them. What they didn't want was for us to destroy every civilizational advance this country has made and to reject science, technology and the things that will allow us to win in the 21st century.
The horrific shooting of students and parishioners in Minnesota is a national tragedy and stain on our conscience. This is no way for a country to be. If a 23 year old killing 8 & 10 year olds at church mass doesn't get us to address gun violence, I am frankly at a loss of what will.
Democrats must lead with a 21st century economic patriotism. A Marshall plan to rebuild America. 1000 trade schools. AI academies. Modern factories. Hard working immigrants working with citizens. Lower costs. A new roadmap to better lives for the working & middle class.
Corporations are afraid to make investments because of new tariffs, a truth social screed targeting them, or general instability. Despite all of this, my district has 5 trillion dollar companies innovating the future of AI, digital, clean tech --succeeding despite handcuffs.
Barclays now is predicting a 50% chance of recession by 2027 & core inflation is high. Recent graduates are struggling to find a job. The dollar has been destabilized & long term bond yields are high b/c of an eroding trust in government, including deficit exploding laws.
