  1. Nine voting rights activists arrested for peacefully demonstrating. For standing up for our democracy. We've seen this before. And we know how it ends: democracy WILL prevail. Proud to stand in solidarity with and all those fighting for our democracy.

  2. Every Republican in Congress voted against expanding the Child Tax Credit. Every. Single. One. But despite their opposition, those checks are hitting American families' bank accounts today. And they're projected to cut child poverty in HALF.

  3. I don’t know about you, but I’m pro-vaccines and anti-COVID, anti-flu, anti-HPV ... well, really anti-diseases killing people. How on earth is that partisan opinion now?

  4. The stakes are high. Voting rights, health care, climate change, and so much more — they’re all on the line. The people who voted and organized and marched expect action. The country demands it.  The path is clear. We must end the filibuster. There is simply no other way.

  5. BIG NEWS: On July 15, the first Child Tax Credit payments will go out.   For millions of families, that means: ✔️ More food on the table. ✔️ Less financial anxiety. ✔️ Better long-term outcomes.   We can cut child poverty in half. Learn more at .

  6. Cubans are suffering devastating food, medicine, and power shortages — made worse by the pandemic and an authoritarian regime enriching itself rather than supporting its people. We stand with peaceful Cubans in their continued struggle for freedom, dignity, and a better life.

  7. Heatwaves like this aren’t a matter of inconvenience: they’re a matter of life-and-death. So we must act like lives are at stake. We must fight for a .

  8. Gun violence never takes a holiday. 500 shootings. 618 injuries. 233 deaths. 1 weekend. It’s time for Republicans in Congress to stop pretending and see the gun violence epidemic for what it is: A national emergency.

  9. Six months ago, a violent mob stormed the Capitol trying to undermine our democracy. Lives were lost and countless more endangered. And Republicans are desperate as ever to keep the truth of that dark day hidden. Enough. It’s time to follow the facts, wherever they lead.

  10. After a year of so much hardship and sacrifice, what a joy it is to be able to celebrate freedom, liberty, and the promise of America safely together again with friends, neighbors, and loved ones.   Happy 4th of July to you and yours!

  11. Trump’s business and chief financial officer indicted. Can anyone be surprised? Trump also used his charitable foundation as a personal and political slush fund. His corruption didn’t start in the Oval Office. He just brought it with him. A con man from start to finish.

  12. On January 6, our democracy survived its greatest threat since the Civil War. We’ve yet to learn the truth of that sad day. But we will have a full accounting. I’m humbled to serve on the January 6 Select Committee. It's time to get to work.

    Undo
  13. In McCarthy’s GOP, you’re still in good standing if you: Fundraise with white nationalists. Promote dangerous conspiracy theories. But if you dare participate in an investigation into a deadly insurrection? You’re finished. A cult of lies, with loyalty to Trump over all else.

    Undo
  14. We gave the GOP every chance to work on a bipartisan commission to investigate January 6. They said no. Over and over and over again. So is anyone really surprised that Republicans are – yet again – trying to bury the truth about the insurrection? Enough. We have work to do.

    Undo
  15. The heat plaguing our country is deadly serious. Record-breaking temperatures are causing heatstroke and power outages, melting cables, and buckling roadways. And worse is still to come.   The climate crisis is here, and we see the consequences.   We need a Green New Deal. Now.

    Undo
  16. Republicans know they can’t win with their backward policies. So they’re trying to decide future elections by passing laws making it harder for people of color to vote. These laws are daggers pointed at the heart of our democracy. And they must be stopped.

  17. Did you know that more than 20 states have zero protections for LGBTQ+ individuals? Shawn Balentine is the first openly gay Hollywood stuntman, and when he travels for work, his rights are at risk. We sat down to discuss why it's time to pass the Equality Act:

  18. Bill Barr is not the first to try to rehabilitate his reputation after carrying Trump’s dirty water. And he won’t be the last. But no amount of spin can mitigate the damage he did by misleading the public and destroying DOJ’s independence. He will carry that stain forever.

    Undo
  19. In her Shelby v. Holder dissent, Justice Ginsburg likened gutting the Voting Rights Act to closing an umbrella in a storm because you're not getting wet. We've been without that umbrella for 8 years now. And our democracy has been drowning ever since. We must restore the vote.

  20. The news out of Miami is horrifying.   My heart breaks for the families and friends of the individuals who died, and for the families of all those who remain unaccounted for.   I’ll be praying for their safety and for the entire Surfside community as they heal from this tragedy.
