Every day, more and more of our neighbors don’t know where their next meal will come from. Bethlehem House of Bread in Tigard is working to change that, and I’m working in Congress to support them. Hear more from me and my new friend Jeff.

ICE agents are waving guns in the faces of American citizens, immigrant families, and children. This isn’t about “the worst of the worst.” And it’s increasingly clear this isn’t just about undocumented immigration. Trump’s agenda is anti-immigrant. Period.

Ohioans are sounding the alarm about data centers and I’m listening. They don’t want to see our utility bills spike, our water sucked up, or our farm land devoured. You deserve a senator who will fight to defend our communities and protect our resources and that’s what I’m going to do.

As a result of Trump’s tariffs and war, American families are spending $3,500 more per year on the cost of food, gas and medicine. Meanwhile... Trump and his family have made more than $4 BILLION off the presidency. That's the cost of corruption.

Over the last week, ICE has targeted the Danbury community. Not focusing on criminals. Not arresting the “worst of the worst.” Masked agents arresting parents after their kids get on the bus. Staking out school drop-offs. Rounding up construction workers and retail employees.

We visited the French Valley, knocking on doors and having real conversations about the fight ahead. It's time to hold Washington accountable and build a Congress that actually works for the people 🇺🇸. If you're ready to be part of this change, volunteer 🤝 and join the #CA48 fight with us.

It’s Mississippi Matters Monday and today we’re talking about our cattlemen. Our cattlemen shouldn’t have to compete with imported beef while Washington politicians make decisions that put their livelihoods at risk. Mississippi cattlemen deserve a senator who has their back. #MississippiMatters

NEW FROM ME: On a hellish third-country removal flight last month, passengers say ICE-contracted guards got drunk, teased and beat them, tied them up, refused to let them use the lavatory. One says he witnessed an ICE agent admit to illegal chain refoulement. prospect.org/2026/08/31/w...

‘What America Did to Me Is Wrong’: Inside One of the Largest Third-Country Removal Flights So Far - The American Prospect

On July 31, an estimated 71 detainees were expelled to various countries on a hellish flight to Africa. Many were then illegally returned to their home countries.

Oh, this needs to happen. No hiding or excuses. Just Darlene Graham and Annie Andrews on that debate stage. 🔥 “The television stations are ready. I’m ready. The only person we haven’t heard from is the woman who believes she deserves to be handed a six-year Senate term.” - Annie Andrews

1. Keith Sonderling, Trump’s nominee for Labor Secretary, traveled to China in 2015 to pitch investments in a Florida real estate project. During these events, Chinese nationals were promised green cards and access to “America’s Comprehensive Welfare”

Michigan deserves a Secretary of State who works for you. I’ve traveled all 83 counties to listen to Michiganders and hear what matters most. Now, I’m bringing those priorities into this campaign and fighting to make government work better for you. Let’s get to work.

Here’s your daily reminder that when you go to cast your ballot in November please vote all the way down the ballot. The further down you go, those races really do get closer to your front door and ultimately your wallet. Let’s turn these laboratories of autocracy back into democracy.

I stopped by NYC Parks’ family camping program at Inwood Hill Park on Friday. We made s’mores, talked about s’mores, and learned how to build a fire (for s’mores). Family camping is just one of the Urban Park Rangers’ many free outdoor programs. Check the schedule for more details: nycgovparks.org

So many great ideas shared by Karishma Manzur, Senate candidate for New Hampshire, in the @pdamerica.bsky.social town hall: “Progressive means common sense solutions.” “Progressive policies are fiscally responsible and humane.” “People want honesty, integrity, and accountability.”

A true public servant should be compassionate, intelligent, and courageous. I check all three boxes. #nhpolitics
