Unions built this country from the ground up, and that’s why I will never stop advocating for fair wages, better benefits, and the dignity of work. Thank you for having me, Central Labor Council of Nashville and Middle Tennessee!

As Chair of the Democratic Party, I refuse to surrender a single county, a single precinct, or a single vote to the Republicans without a fight. That is why we organize. And that is why we will win.

Republicans passed the largest cut to Medicaid in history. Now, Donald Trump is raising prescription drug costs for millions of seniors on Medicare. Democrats will work to expand healthcare access and lower costs.

As we enter the final 100 days until Election Day, we will not overlook any district, state, or region. We are not writing off communities. We are not ceding ground. We are organizing everywhere because we know that when you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere.

Troy Jackson is a fifth-generation logger, a lifelong champion for workers, and a former state senator who has proven he can win by 20 points in a district that voted for both Susan Collins and Donald Trump. Together, we can defeat Susan Collins in November.

After a special nominating process, Maine Democrats have selected Troy Jackson as their Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. Let’s defeat Susan Collins, flip Maine blue, and send Troy to the Senate.

Today, the murderer of Melissa and Mark Hortman was sentenced to life in prison. Nothing can undo the pain we've felt in Minnesota over the last year. Like many, I miss my dear friends every day. But the legacy they left and their mission to build a kinder world will live on.

The man who assassinated MN House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband has been sentenced to two life terms, plus an additional 40 years.

Every day from now until November 3, do something to help Democrats win. It does not have to be grand. It can be a conversation with your neighbor, a call to a family member, or a door knocking shift. Every action matters.

Trump’s reckless tariffs have been a massive failure: Raising costs for working families, destroying relationships with our international allies, and eliminating markets for American exports. Instead of learning from his mistakes, he’s doubling down. America deserves better.
