It’s not about policy anymore. It’s about saving America from fascist madmen whose derangement will kill us all.

Grateful for the opportunity to join Reverend Raphael Warnock & Assistant Mayor Jo Kelley at Cup of Joe in Portsmouth with a fired up crowd! The road to change and winning a majority in the U.S. House runs through NH. Election Day is one month from today and we are mobilizing to turn out every vote.

As we enter the final month before the midterms, don't get cocky. If anything, it's time to ramp up the work and pour it on. Check your registration. Vote early. Push your friends and family too. Look for local places to help out. Phone bank and write postcards. Volunteer for Election Day.

Trump, Miller and the rest simply don’t care about these people. Their only worth, as they see it, are as fodder for their racist and nativistic demagoguery.

America’s first free, tax-supported public library was founded right here, the Peterborough Town Library, in 1833. 📚 Libraries are at the heart of our communities, and I’ll keep fighting for the federal investments that help them thrive.

Since Trump took office, Democrats have flipped 31 state legislative seats across the country. Republicans have flipped ZERO. November is coming.

Yesterday the governor's veto of yet another bathroom ban, HB1442, was upheld. Thank you to the 142 Democrats and 7 Republicans who voted not to overturn it. This legislation protects no one, is impossible to enforce without being invasive, and only creates a culture of fear. #nhpolitics #pride

I understand 60 Minutes is a huge platform. But NYT sets the agenda for American politics and elite discourse. That gave Ross huge power. And he used it poorly and often disingenuously. Good riddance.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Donald Trump has said that he doesn’t think about your financial situation, he loves inflation, and that housing affordability is “so unimportant.” He can’t be bothered to care. Shameful.

When it comes to standing up against Donald Trump, all Kelly Ayotte does is ride on the coattails of other state leaders who have the courage to do so. As governor, I’ll take on Trump whenever he does things that harm our state — not watch others do the work. #NHPolitics

When I talk about the housing crisis, I do it as someone who knew what it was like to worry about losing the roof over their head. Kelly Ayotte does it from the perspective of someone who sat in the Blackstone boardroom, profiting massively off of evicting families. #NHPolitics

Hard to see the U.S. & Iran reaching an agreement before Nov. elections. Anything Iran would sign would require big concessions by Trump, for which he would be pilloried by the neocons and hardliners. So Trump won't make an agreement and will just keep dithering & kicking the can down the road.

The President is on the verge of losing, in spectacular fashion, the unprovoked war of choice he started, a war that no one wanted, that he never discussed with Congress or the American people beforehand, a war that has unrelentingly jacked up gas prices at a time of high inflation. Abject failure.

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

I am horrified and angered by the swastikas painted on homes and a synagogue in Forest Hills, including on a plaque honoring survivors of Kristallnacht. This is not just vandalism — it is a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear.

There is no place for antisemitism in Queens or anywhere in our city. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. Their safety, dignity, and belonging are non-negotiable.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.
