The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.

Hero. Giant. Public Servant. Speaker. Few people in our nation’s history have matched the courage, conviction, and impact of Speaker @pelosi.house.gov.

At #STATSummit, @joekennedyiii.bsky.social talks about the impact of community health centers. "At one point, we sent doctors to communities to treat people. Now, we're sending the National Guard. Why?"

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American. A United States Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with protecting the public health of our country and its people. At yesterday’s hearing, he chose to do the opposite: to dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.

None of us will be spared the pain he is inflicting. It doesn’t matter how rich or powerful you are or what state you live in— the heartbreak of watching a loved one fall ill knows no borders.

The challenges before us—from disease outbreaks to mental health crises—demand moral clarity, scientific expertise, and leadership rooted in fact. 

Those values are not present in the Secretary’s office. He must resign.

This #LaborDay, we honor the workers who built this country — and the unions who fought to ensure they were treated with dignity.The fight for fair wages, safe workplaces, and the right to organize is far from over.

Instead he has formed the @groundworkproject.bsky.social, a nonprofit that seeks to develop a network of grass roots resistance in four deep-red states — Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma and West Virginia — that have received little attention from left-leaning organizations.”

Every day, Americans face civil legal problems they can’t handle alone — often through no fault of their own. Without legal help, these problems can spiral, threatening families, livelihoods and community stability.

No law, no ruling, no politician can erase this truth: transgender kids deserve to grow up safe, supported, and free to be themselves. We stand with them—and we’ll keep fighting in every courtroom, clinic, and community until they have the future they deserve.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

Closing the SBA’s Springfield office would gut a lifeline for Western Mass small businesses. It connects rural & underserved entrepreneurs to vital resources. Forcing them to drive 6+ hours to Boston isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a severe blow to local economies.

The Supreme Court let stand a decision blocking Oklahoma from using taxpayer dollars to fund a religious public charter school—a meaningful win for the separation of church and state and our democracy.

This is gaslighting at its finest. A whole lot of words to justify more pain & sickness for the poor to make the rich richer. Don't be fooled. They’re taking healthcare away from those struggling to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Their words sound great, but they're wrong & purposely misleading.🧵

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want to slash Medicaid and SNAP to fund more tax breaks for their billionaire buddies. What would that mean? 1 in 4 Americans lose care Half of U.S. births lose coverage 63% of nursing home residents at risk Kids & those with disabilities left behind

Let’s be clear: gender-affirming care saves lives. Their move to block it is a deliberate, ideological attack on trans youth — not science. It’s cruelty dressed up as policy. Kids will suffer.
