In 2024, 300 billionaires and their families donated 19% of all money spent on federal elections. Billionaires should spend less on elections and more in taxes.

Thank you for reminding the world what it means to stand up for others — even when it meant standing in the fire yourself. You’ve always believed in me and poured so much into me, even off camera.  Today, I hope you feel all the love, receive all your flowers, and know just how much your strength and leadership have meant to so many of us! Happy Birthday, VP @KamalaHarris!❤️

The Trump Administration’s case against Congresswoman Omar has no legal basis. If they’re willing to target an elected member of Congress, imagine what they’re doing to people without the platform to fight back. When Democrats reclaim the majority in Congress, we will hold this administration accountable for its abuses of power.

The President of the United States has decided to side with a murderous dictator and our adversaries in Russia, rather than standing with our freedom-loving and democratic allies in Ukraine. The Congress must push back against the president’s disastrous foreign policy before more damage is done.

The Republican gerrymandering scheme in Texas and Florida continues to collapse. We will end the national nightmare of MAGA extremism.

This may be the most cordial political conversation in Washington since trump arrived. We talked shifting winds toward a Dem Senate majority and fake California voter fraud allegations. @BBCNews

I should do @jubileemedia just to dunk on nerds like this. Imagine the privilege you have when your main political issue is a place in the mid east while millions in your own country don’t know if they’ll have enough for rent and groceries. The luxury of the trust fund activist
Replying to @michaelhardaway
"Too much at stake" is exactly why we can't have an Israeli shill as speaker of the house. Talk about being excited to waste this moment. And to be clear, NOTHING IS AT STAKE other than choosing some milquetoast corporate suck-up who won't fight for the people.

That’s not to minimize the horrors of what’s happening in Gaza, Sudan, the DRC or Lebanon. But as a Black Democrat, I won’t be lectured about oppression by gentrifiers whose only understanding of it comes from what they learned sophomore year at Choate.

Hakeem needs — and I suspect he'll get — a double digit majority so he won't have to waste time with this bullshit. There's too much at stake. Everyone's focus should be winning on Nov 3 then holding trump accountable and bringing down prices next year.

Neither Darializa Avila Chevalier nor Melat Kiros would commit to backing Hakeem Jeffries as speaker. “'What am I actually voting for' is gonna be the most important question for ... my district,” Kiros told @DashaBurns. Listen to #TheConversation: politi.co/4B9muEp

The people of Michigan are drowning in the failed Republican economy. As a working-class mom of three, @cbhines586 is fighting to lower costs and ensure every family can afford to see a doctor when they need one. That’s how it should be in America.

I am tired of moving legislation out of the house only for it to die in the Senate. We need progressive fighters like @AbdulElSayed in the Senate to deliver real solutions for working people.

I've always thought Democrats should do more interviews on right-wing networks. So I went on @NEWSMAX to dismantle the hateful attacks against @AbdulElSayed.

The president is either delusional or lying to the American people. Since he launched the disastrous war in the Middle East, supported by Republicans in Congress, the cost of everything from gas to groceries has skyrocketed. And hardworking families are paying the price.
Trump says prices are coming “way down.” Inflation is 3.7% and has risen in three of the last five months. Core inflation rose in September too.  My @Morning_Joe Chart

The cost of living in Florida is way too high. @ERodforCongress is fighting hard to make life more affordable. And stop the Trump administration’s violent mass deportation machine from attacking law-abiding immigrant families.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress. I have always stood up to him and that will never change. The pedophile protector will never silence me.
BREAKING WaPo: Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues. 
The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now. washingtonpost.com/national-…

The president is completely detached from reality. Billionaires and his Big Oil donors may be making more money than ever—but working-class families are struggling to stay afloat due to his disastrous policies

Freedom to worship and practice your faith without fear is part of America’s promise. That promise includes our Indian-American and Hindu-practicing brothers and sisters. Under no circumstances can white supremacy and hate be tolerated in our democracy. I am grateful for law enforcement’s swift intervention to prevent loss of precious lives. May peace be with you, your family, and your entire community, @CongressmanRaja.
My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.

Critics called House Democrats naive for taking on the affordability crisis. But we knew what mattered to everyday Americans drowning in the failed Trump economy. Now the American people know exactly who’s fighting to make their lives more affordable.
