🚨 Damn. Mike Collins just fled his own press conference the moment reporters asked about his close ties to a white nationalist, neo-Nazi propagandist. He had no answers. Just an abrupt exit. Georgia deserves better than this.

🚨Republicans just cut Medicare — again! Seniors will pay the price. Families will feel it. And with less than 100 days until the midterms, voters are going to remember exactly who did this. Political malpractice. Republicans just don’t give a damn. #RepublicansCutHealthcare
Ken Paxton hasn’t debated in over a decade. I wonder why. Maybe it’s because he’d have to explain how his corruption crisis became Texas’ affordability crisis. James Talarico is ready. Paxton is still hiding. Debate him. Or keep running.
The momentum is real. Voters are done with the chaos, the cruelty, the corruption, and the grift. In 100 days, we’re flipping the House, holding the line, and sending a message that can’t be ignored. Organize. Donate. Vote early. Talk to everyone you know. #BlueWaveIn100Days
On Sunday, House Democrats are launching 100 Days of Action. Focused on one thing: an affordable America. • Lower prices for groceries, gas and housing • Affordable healthcare for ALL Americans • Holding the crooks who’ve been robbing working people blind accountable This is the fight. Let’s go!
🚨House Republicans will be voting at 4pm ET today to choose reckless wars over daycare, Medicaid, and Medicare. America’s priorities should be our people — not endless wars. RT if you agree: #HealthcareNotWarfare Watch this powerful takedown! 👇
🚨The SAVE Act is nothing but a Republican voter suppression scheme dressed up as “election integrity.” It’s #PayToVote — forcing barriers that hit working families, students, seniors & minorities hardest. ☎️ Call your reps NOW at (202) 224-3121 to kill this bill. Demand NO paywall! #PayToVoteSaveAct
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has the constitutional authority to temporarily appoint someone to fill Mitch McConnell’s seat. If GOP lawmakers want to challenge that, they can do so. This will be the first big test to see whether Beshear really is presidential material. I hope he passes the test.
James Talarico just challenged Ken Paxton to THREE televised debates. Paxton — who hasn’t appeared on a debate stage in over a decade — is almost certainly too scared to accept. Puppet politicians answer to their billionaire donors, not the people of Texas. Time to debate or keep hiding, Ken.
My new podcast delves into the case of six experienced hikers who died within minutes of one another on a remote mountain in Siberia. Only one survived to tell the story. Was it simply hypothermia—or something far more mysterious? 🏔️ This is one of the strangest wilderness mysteries ever recorded. 🎧

🚨 House Republicans led by MAGA Mike Johnson are once again plotting to slash your healthcare to fund an unpopular war — this time using reconciliation. Call the Capitol Switchboard TODAY at (202) 224-3121. Tell your rep to oppose this reckless GOP effort! #FundHealthcareNotWars
Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.
She should have spent today laughing, playing, and feeling safe in her daddy’s arms. Instead, this three-year-old watched her father die. No child should ever have to carry a memory like that. #ICEOutOfControl #AbolishICE

As Trump’s 2nd term began to unfold, Ami Fields-Meyer and Julia Angwin interviewed dissidents on 5 continents to learn what everyday Americans can do to defend our democracy. I’m reading their new book, On Courage, and it’s absolutely riveting. Highly recommend. www.harpercollins.com/products/on-...
Ceasefire over? Again? Trump’s ego-driven Iran fiasco is back on. No exit strategy, just chaos and higher gas prices. ⛽️ This was always #TrumpsWarOfChoice — reckless, unnecessary, and disastrous for America.
Hakeem Jeffries just nailed it: Gas prices exploded because of Trump’s reckless war of choice. From $2.98 before Trump launched it → now $3.93–$4.20+. Working families are feeling the pain at the pump while Trump fails to deliver. This is #TrumpsWarOfChoice.
Republicans couldn’t get the votes for their voter suppression bill — so now they’re trying to ram the SAVE Act into law through budget reconciliation. Forcing Americans to pay for passports and birth certificates just to vote? That isn’t election security. That’s a poll tax! #SAVEActIsPayToVote
🚨 House Republicans are a complete disaster — they’re reckless rubber stamps for Trump’s extreme agenda, while Americans struggle with the affordability crisis. Their corruption is the problem! Pass it on… #TrumpRepublicanCorruption
Today on my podcast: In 1966, inside a Kenilworth, Illinois mansion, the daughter of a U.S. Senate candidate was found murdered in her bedroom after her stepmother glimpsed a shadowy figure standing over the bed. Nearly 60 years later, this case remains one of Chicago’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

🏠Trump is holding the bipartisan housing bill hostage like a political terrorist — all to rig voting against us. This is pure desperation from a loser who knows he’s finished. We can’t let this maniac sabotage millions of American families. #SaveHousingFromTrump
💔 Heartbreaking. ProPublica reports that more than 776,000 kids just lost SNAP benefits under the Big Ugly bill. Families can’t buy groceries. Kids are starving. Republicans’ priority? Funding masked thugs who terrorize our streets. Shameful. #RepublicansStarveChildren
Trump said it out loud: “I love the inflation.” While American families struggle with higher grocery bills and soaring gas prices, he’s celebrating it. Straight from his own mouth — no wonder Americans are suffering from prices that are way too high! 😡 #TrumpLovesTheInflation
🔥Hakeem Jeffries torches GOP’s $70 BILLION blank check to Trump’s mass deportation machine: “Taxpayer dollars should make life more affordable—NOT fund brutality against American citizens, law-abiding families, kids & veterans.” No oversight. No guardrails. Pure cruelty. Please watch and share! 👀
Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress have made healthcare unaffordable AGAIN. Families are being forced to choose between medicine and rent, while billionaires get richer. This is their “agenda”? We’re all sick of it. #TrumpMakesUsSick
My podcast today revisits the haunting disappearance of Michael Rockefeller in Dutch New Guinea in 1961. His catamaran overturned off the coast. Some think he drowned in the treacherous waters, but others think he reached shore... only to encounter something far more terrifying in the jungle beyond.

While families struggle with healthcare costs at home, we keep funding unauthorized wars abroad. Congress must pass the War Powers Act resolution today and redirect our priorities. No more blank checks for war. Retweet if you agree: #FundHealthcareNotWar
Trump promised to deport violent criminals and “the worst of the worst.” Instead, ICE is terrorizing law-abiding families, detaining an 18-year-old girl weeks from graduation, and denying basic medical care at Delaney Hall. This brutality is NOT America. #ShutDownDelaneyHall
🚨 Heartbreaking. Detainees at Delaney Hall are being forced to eat worm-infested food, denied doctors, and separated from their families. Even US citizens are trapped inside. This must end. No more torture centers on American soil. #ShutDownDelaneyHall
