Our democracy is rigged for the billionaire class. If you want to know why your wages are shitty and health care is too expensive and your kids’ school is falling apart - that’s why.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I just came from the Venezuela briefing; can confirm this insane plan to indefinitely take Venezuela's oil at gun point and use it as leverage to micromanage the country. We're back in the nation building business. And we're going to make oil guys rich. Also, it won't work.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment. When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Quite the day for Patel to drop this new content. The FBI has completely bungled the Brown shooting - the shooter is still at large! - just like the Kirk shooting. Maybe that's because Patel is doing interviews like this instead of doing his job.

I just came out of the briefing with Sec. Rubio and Sec. Hegseth on the military strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Here's what I learned. Bottom line: there is no legal or national security justification for what they're doing. Not even close.

We have 24 hours before the Senate vote to stop the January premium increases - $6,200 annual increase for the average Connecticut family on an ACA plan. Republicans can still choose to do the right thing and vote with us.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here: 1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes. 2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence. We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

An update on the fight over health insurance premiums: Republicans have basically stopped negotiating. Trump is more focused on his ballroom than these cost hikes. Later this month, Senate Democrats will force a vote on this - one last chance for GOP to do the right thing.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment. The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

A while back, I switched to getting oat milk instead of whole milk in my lattes. I'm not lactose intolerant but I wanted to see if dairy was contributing to my acid reflux issues. It may or may not have, but now I like the taste of oat milk in my drinks better! It's creamier or something idk. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Despots weaponize their opponents' compassion against them. Trump wants to use people's pain as extortion to get Democrats to fund his corruption. I didn't want the shutdown, but Democrats would be suckers to knowingly vote for a budget that destroys our democracy.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

As people go onto the health care enrollment websites, and see that Trump has doubled their premium, the pressure on Republicans to fix this will mount. This isn't get easier for Republicans. It's getting harder.

The Tuesday election was a message to Democrats to keep fighting. People are scared at what Trump is doing to their lives and our democracy. And they desperately want the opposition party to stand up to him, not willingly get run over.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Good morning. Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos. But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong. A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

You need to understand that he actually believes it is illegal to criticize him. Why? Because Trump believes he - not the people - decides the law. This is why we are in the middle of, not on the verge of, a totalitarian takeover.

This isn’t a game. Some middle class families in Connecticut are going to get a $25,000 increase in health care premiums in a week. Democrats shouldn’t support a budget that does that to people - just as a means to pay for a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations.
