There are real costs of having a president focused on sore-loser election lies, corruption, and endless wars. Imagine if we a had president who woke up today and did everything in their power to lower prices — and partner with Canada to stop the plumes of smoke over our nation.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

BREAKING: Republicans in the Texas House just bowed down to Trump and passed a bill creating five new likely GOP seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Shame on them. They are to blame for the gerrymandering arms race that we will now see across the country.

Gov Morrisey’s plan to send the WV Guard to DC disrespects those who serve by using them as political pawns and hurts communities recovering from flooding who need their help. If he gives a damn about flood victims or the Guard, he should immediately call them back. www.reuters.com/world/us/wes...

West Virginia governor to deploy National Guard troops to US capital

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey is deploying 300 to 400 National Guard troops to the District of Columbia at the request of the Trump administration, the governor's office said in a statement on Saturday.

Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake. Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.

🎉🎉🎉 BIG win for our democracy! Seattleites just passed Prop 1 to renew the Democracy Vouchers Program for another decade and continue to give every eligible Seattle voter the opportunity to support local candidates.

House Republicans just voted to give massive tax handouts to their billionaire donors like Elon Musk at the expense of working families. Their bill would kick millions of Americans off of Medicaid and nutrition programs like SNAP.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Proud of my husband @c-hughes.bsky.social on his book launch today! Marketcrafters is an important reflection on how government can shape markets to better serve the American people and holds lessons for how we might rebuild after this dark period. www.marketcraftersbook.com

The SAVE Act is a trick, and the American people aren’t falling for it. Text SAVE to 63033 to urge your Senator to vote no on this bill that would block millions of Americans from voting.

1/5 This morning I published an article in the @nytimes on why Trump's threat to fire Jay Powell endangers the institutional architecture of American prosperity. The Fed needs insulation from the president to maintain price stability and full employment. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/o...

The president’s threat to fire Jerome Powell is more than a personal spat. It’s a direct challenge to the economic foundation that has helped America prosper.

A constitutional crisis is looming. A president who ignores or intimidated judges who rule against him. A Congress passing legislation to dismantle judicial independence. Checks and balances, and our fundamental rights, are at stake. More from me and @lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social ⬇️

Trump's Attack on Our Courts Threatens Every American | Opinion

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on our judicial system.

It is remarkable how much damage Trump and his enablers have done in less than three months...to our economy, the rule of law, our standing in the world, and so much more. Voters will remember — and history will remember — who continues to stand with him.
