A right-wing extremist violently assaulted Paul Pelosi today. My prayers are with Paul Pelosi, Speaker Pelosi and their family.

The suspect in the attack of Paul Pelosi has been confirmed to be a 42-year-old right-wing extremist who spread 2020 election conspiracy theories, COVID disinformation, and hatred of the Jan 6 committee.

Why are Dems expanding the lead on the generic ballot? Because Dems are putting #PeopleOverPolitics and focused on lower costs, better-paying jobs and safer communities. What are Republicans focused on? Inserting local politicians between you and your doctor.

The right wing can’t win on the power of their bad ideas, so they resort to cheating and denying election results. Don’t let them cheat. Vote this November.

The antisemitism displayed on the 405 this weekend was disgusting. Our community will not tolerate hate. With antisemitism on the rise, we must come together to fight it. We stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors & condemn this abhorrent behavior.

Iran and China don’t post their secrets on the internet. US patriots risk their lives to help our national security. These classified documents that Trump illegally took could also reveal sources and methods. Donald Trump was, and remains, a walking national security hazard.

There are people in the field, right now, putting their lives on the line to get crucial intelligence back to the US so we can protect ourselves. Trump isn't just risking THEIR lives by stealing documents. He's risking YOUR life by compromising security. washingtonpost.com/national-secur

Republicans have an awful lot to say about inflation — until it’s time to join Democrats to fight price gouging and lower your costs! It’s almost as if Republicans don’t really care about cutting costs and are just using your pain for political gain. Almost. Vote them out. -NP

“We’re Republicans, and 100% believe that it’s each individual’s choice…[when it comes to getting a coronavirus shot]…We decided to err on the side of not doing it and accept the consequences. And now, here we are in the middle of planning the funeral.” Talk to your doctor.

This is terrifying — and a direct attack against the democratic ideals that make this country great. I'm calling on my opponent to condemn these statements by Kari Lake and to affirm that he will accept the results of the election no matter the outcome.

Nearly two years later the GOP Big Lie Party still cannot explain who stole the election nor how it was purportedly done. Was it Hugo Chavez? Italian satellites? 7 million dead people who voted? Donald Trump lost. That’s what happened. #wednesdaythought
