Made it back to Des Moines for the last volunteer shift to help elect @RobSandIA the next Governor of Iowa. Let’s get this done!

This is some serious word salad to avoid admitting he wasn't in the district today.
Today, I joined two-thirds of my daughters, Lucy and Naomi, and Studio City resident and constituent @BillNye to rally against America’s Chief Monarchist, #DonaldTrump.
When her life-saving oxygen supply was cut off, Pe Kha Lu died as a result of the slashed USAID programs, the first woman to die at the hands of #ElonMusk and Donald Trump.
Now is the time to raise our voices. #NoKingsDay

Current scene in downtown LA on Los Angeles outside the federal building. Protests are loud but peaceful, and California national Guard in front of the building.

Young Democratic candidates are launching primary bids for national office in hopes of charting a new path forward for a party in disarray.
PBS News spoke with three of those candidates, Mallory McMorrow, Jake Rakov and Kat Abughazaleh, about what they think the Democratic Party needs to do to win.

Tired of the same old politics? I'm running for Congress against my former boss, a 15-term incumbent, because it's time for a new generation of leadership committed to fighting for real solutions in Congress. Stand with me. Learn more at jakeforcongress.com #ChangeIsComing

As the Democratic Party takes stock of the first 100 days of the Trump administration and the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, a slate of political newcomers are challenging longtime incumbents and calling for generational change within the party. abcnews.link/M5Emo98

Check out my interview with @alexwagner on her @MSNBC podcast about the change I and others are running on bringing to Congress.
"Congressman Sherman was elected in 1996 when I was 8 years old. He is still operating like it's 1996.”

Had a great conversation yesterday on @Majority54 podcast with @JasonKander and @RaviMGupta about why getting new voices in Congress is so important to fight back against Trump and the chaos his administration is causing.

I was 8 when Congressman Sherman first got elected. 15 terms is enough! Time for new leadership.
The Dem incumbent primaries cometh:
This one v @BradSherman by a former aide ( the Blanche Lincoln move!)

As Democratic voters say their party needs to change and young voters grow more skeptical of traditional party politics, a crop of candidates in their 20s and 30s is stepping in to challenge older Democrats for their seats in Congress. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…
