Making sure low-income kids have high-quality child care isn't "radical." Helping our youngest learners get school ready isn't "radical." Doing what's best for our kids isn't "radical." We will fight for Head Start. That's a promise. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

The Trump Administration has declared a war on our universities and science. It will hurt our economy and competitiveness for years to come.
Let's keep being positive and hopeful. It's good for you. It's also good for anyone you happen to come across. Be kind. #Pinks
Today, the Senate received a briefing on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan. Here's the bottom line: We can & must do more to stop this. This war has already killed over 150,000 people & displaced over 14 MILLION. We must act NOW.
We’ve depleted our missiles. Trump was unaware. Hegseth thought his deputy told Trump. It’s partly why Trump had to call of his escalation against Iran. Other than that, everything’s fine: wapo.st/4hQVTF0
Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David over Iran missile depletion concerns
At a Camp David summit this weekend, President Trump demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over extreme munitions shortages.

Voting is how we support our values. It’s how we shape what comes next, together, not from the sidelines. Ninety days left, and every single person who shows up makes the difference bigger. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Is it good when the secretary of defense is so fixated on making sure everyone is white and has tv ready abs that he forgets about munitions bsky.app/profile/carl...

$1.4B to deploy the National Guard into cities? On top of: -$1.5T for the Pentagon -$240B for ICE and CBP -$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet -$300M for Trump's ballroom -$100M for Trump's golf outings But nothing for working people.

Truly evil to see MAGA lunatics and white supremacists issuing death threats to the mother of Nolan Wells in an effort to silence her and stop her from finding out why her 18 year old son is dead.
New Mexico's attorney general has sued the Trump Justice Department over its refusal to share unredacted documents from its files on Jeffrey Epstein — arguing that the Trump admin is obstructing the state's criminal investigation of Epstein.
Mathew is absolutely correct here: Calling El-Sayed “far left” in 2026 is just admitting you haven’t noticed the country changed. His positions poll with majorities because they’re the political center now. The labels are outdated. #USDemocracy
Matthew Dowd@matthewjdowd.bsky.social · 7h agoNearly every one of El-Sayed's issue positions is supported by a majority. In fact, his stands are the center of American politics today. Saying he is far left/left wing is just so old. The center of American politics has moved over the last 30 years, and El-Sayed's position are center now.

Wisconsinites are remembering the shooting at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple 14 years ago today that took the lives of seven people, wounded four, and changed the lives of countless others. We keep those Wisconsinites and their families in our hearts today and every day.
The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!
Renewable Energy is cheaper than oil. Renewable Energy is more securely available than oil.
The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump launched his war against Iran. Celebrating its reopening as an "achievement" of Trump diplomacy is illogical. Please stop accepting this White House framing.
We should protect all those who call Texas home, including wildlife. When data centers spread into sensitive habitats, Texans risk losing the land, water, and wildlife that make our state plentiful. It's time to put our families and our Texas heritage ahead of Wall Street's AI ambitions.

Senator Whitehouse pointing out how absolutely ludicrous it is to vote for Todd Blanche. There will never be any justice for the Epstein survivors, no justice for the families of the victims of ICE andno justice for the Capitol police that were attacked on Jan. 6. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸@judiciarydems.senate.gov · 2d agoSen. WHITEHOUSE: Voting for this guy Todd Blanche today gives Republicans’ blessing to the botched Epstein Files release. Even Pam Bondi pointed at Blanche as responsible. It gives their blessing to his continuing role in the coverup.
