We should be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a historic victory for reproductive rights. Instead, we’re back at square one, thanks to GA Republicans.
We’re staying in the fight against Republicans’ dangerous abortion bans, today and every day. #AbortionRights

ALERT: The extremist GOP wants to impose a 30% national sales tax on the everyday goods you buy. THIRTY PERCENT.
Fortunately, our Democratic Senate and President Biden will never let this happen under their watch. But we CAN'T let the GOP take power in 2024.

The GOP wants to gut our hard-earned Social Security, which millions of Americans have been paying into for decades.
Share this if you agree that the GOP’s plan is a slap in the face to Georgia seniors.

I remember my parents pulling me out of school on Dr. King's birthday back before it was a holiday. My siblings and I would spend all day in the YMCA learning about his impact.
As we honor his legacy today, we must recommit ourselves to making his dream our reality.

Cutting all income taxes for billionaires while levying a massive sales tax on working families is flat-out wrong.

New: Rep. Buddy Carter confirms to me that his Fair Tax Act will get its first-ever floor vote as part of speaker talks. Bill abolishes IRS, eliminates tax code, replacing income taxes with consumption tax - rolling back pieces of GOP tax law
It was a demand of the 20 holdouts

This is a time for choosing.
Will we choose democracy over autocracy?
Community over chaos?
Love over hate?
These are questions of our time that I ran for president to help answer. And of which Dr. King’s life and legacy will guide us forward.

In the Oval Office is a bust of Dr. King.
I often think of the question Dr. King asked us all those years ago: “where do we go from here?”
My message today is that we go forward when we go together.
