Half the grocery store has been recalled. Measles deaths are at a 35-year high. And Susan Collins still doesn’t regret voting to confirm RFK Jr. Vote her out.

Our When We Count voter registration program helped register over 6,500 new voters in Arizona and Nevada. These new voters will be critical to helping Democrats win elections up and down the ballot.

Momentum doesn't knock on doors. It doesn't turn out voters. It doesn't drive people to the polls. We've still got to do the work if we want to take advantage of this Blue Wave in 22 days.

A new low for the Trump administration: raiding the home of a U.S. congresswoman weeks out from Election Day. This is the latest in a series of bigoted and unfounded attacks against my friend @ilhanmn.bsky.social. Ilhan is a fighter who will not back down. I am proud to stand with her.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the countless contributions Indigenous Americans have made to our nation. Democrats are dedicated to building a more inclusive nation by respecting the sovereignty of Tribal Nations and ensuring they always have a seat at the table.

Spent the day down in Atlanta getting out the vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, like Peter Hubbard, who is running for reelection to the Georgia Public Service Commission. You can feel the energy: Georgia is ready to make history this November.

Donald Trump doesn’t get to turn the federal government into his personal campaign operation, and he sure as hell doesn’t get to make taxpayers foot the bill. Using public dollars for partisan propaganda isn’t governing. It’s an abuse of power. We’re taking him to court. apnews.com/article/trum...

RFK Jr. said he wanted to disrupt public health. Apparently that meant resurrecting measles and letting kids pay the price.

American ranchers lose their ass so Donald Trump can save his. ‘America First’ apparently means flooding the market with foreign beef when it’s convenient, while the people who actually raise cattle here get stuck with the bill. Funny how the sacrifice is always yours and the benefit is always his.
