Congratulations to my friend, Senator-elect @scott_colom. History was made today- you showed that hope rises in the South, and that Mississippi matters!
The midterm election is just the beginning.
The real work is redeeming the American Dream: health care that is available and affordable for everyone, schools and colleges that lead students to success, and a country where a lifetime of work means retirement with security and dignity.
Let's get to work.
President Trump saying America ‘hasn’t lost anybody’ in his war with Iran is a profound dishonor to the families who lost loved ones and to every person who wears the uniform.
The American people deserve the truth and an end to this reckless war.
Op: @votevets
After the midterms, the mission is clear. Democrats must work to make the American people’s lives better. End the reckless war in Iran. Stop the cuts to Medicaid and the VA, and fight Trump’s corruption. Redeem the American dream for every family. Let’s go.
To the veterans who answered the call to serve — thank you.
Your courage, sacrifice, and love of country are the reasons we can gather in freedom today.
On this Veterans Day, may we not only honor your service, but commit ourselves to serving you with the same loyalty you gave us.
Here’s to the everyday heroes among us.
Those who run in when others run out. Who rise up when we are at our lowest. Who rush toward danger to carry others to safety.
Our nation has far more heroes than our headlines, media feeds, or algorithms reveal.
May we see more of them.
May we celebrate them.
May we be more like them.

This election proved it once again: the power of the people can beat big, unchecked money.
Dark money and corporate contributions are a cancer on our democracy. It’s time to end the nightmare of Citizens United and pass real campaign finance reform.
After the midterms delivered a clear rejection of his cruelty and division, President Trump is doubling down by appointing Stephen Miller, the architect of some of his most destructive and inhumane immigration policies, as Chief of Staff. Appointments like this show that Trump wants to drag us backward. We will not let him. The fight continues.

Trump says “nobody has died” and “it’s not a war.” Our service members, their families, and the American people know the true costs: lives lost, hundreds wounded, billions spent, and higher prices. We owe them the truth—and an end to this war.
Trump's presidency has been a grift from the start. Billionaires lined up at his inauguration to fund crypto schemes and ballrooms while he cashed in on the office the moment he took the oath. He promised a golden age for America—it became gold trim for the Oval Office. Now, we have Congress that is willing to hold him accountable.
You can thrive and still be kind.
You can achieve and still show grace.
You can take first place and still make room for others at the top.
That’s what these kids did when they waved the second and third place finishers up to share the top step. Win or loose - how you treat people says a lot about your character. That’s what makes these kids real winners.
May we see more of this.
May we be more like them.

This Kansas farmer, whose family has worked the same land for 158 years, has survived wars, depressions, droughts, and floods. His words cut deep: “We may not survive Trump.” Voters just delivered a clear message. Working families and farmers squeezed by high costs and economic hardship are counting on us. We have a moral responsibility to deliver real relief, fair opportunity, and an economy that works for the people who feed us.

An 8-year-old boy—living with his uncle after his father was deported—showed up for a scheduled immigration appointment because his family wanted to follow the law. ICE took him into federal custody and separated him from his family. This is the cruelty of mass deportation and the Trump administration’s immigration policy. It violates our values and who we are as a nation. America deserves better.

In 1939, Jesse Lee Bond was lynched in Tennessee simply for asking for a receipt. Decades later, his great-granddaughter, Justice Kyra Harris Bolden, became the first Black woman to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court.This is the arc of the moral universe. This is how pain is turned into purpose. This is how we redeem the Dream of America—by refusing to forget our history and by continuing the fight for justice.

Honored to join the NAACP in Sumter to celebrate our midterm victories and speak about our work ahead. South Carolina showed that the power of the people is greater than the people in power. Now let’s redeem America’s promise of hope, unity, and dignity for every family.
Here’s to the people who keep an eye out for ways to make someone else’s day a little easier.
Who see someone struggling and step up. Who see an older man trying to get across the ice and hurry over to lend an arm.
That’s everyday kindness, and it’s worth celebrating.
May we see more of this. May we be more of this.
