It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

Tonight was a very bad night.

I am trying something new. A weekly new video where I'll catch you up on what @aft.org is up to. This week, we had big victories on Election Day, kept up our fight for healthcare & food assistance, and secured a win to deliver debt relief for borrowers.

I’m just going to say it…

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

A mom traveled to D.C. with her child in a wheelchair, just to be ignored by Senator Joni Ernst. She couldn't be bothered. No meeting. No reply. No humanity.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "We will hold this administration accountable."

Sen. Murphy: “They say that he didn’t identify who he was. Watch the video, he clearly states, ‘I am Senator Alex Padilla.’ They’re going to spin this, but I’m begging my Republican colleagues, don’t let them do it.”

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

UPDATE: Trump just attacked/threatened the legendary (and far handsomer & much more talented) Bruce Springsteen — so here’s the Boss rant that triggered him again, calling him “corrupt, incompetent, treasonous” and calling on 🇺🇸 to “raise your voices against authoritarianism”

I like being peaceful, and I don't owe anyone a response to stupidity.

continued appreciation to @vanhollen.senate.gov for fighting for Kilmar’s return - and for understanding that actively driving attention to this crisis is a core part of making that happen.

It might be a good idea to look at which countries do NOT have a tariff imposed on them and WHY.

Social Security is not charity or some giveaway. It's money people earned through years of hard work.

Now, Trump and Musk want to rip that away to fund tax handouts for their billionaire buddies.

So here's my message for them: get your hands off our Social Security.

Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

“That’s when they suspended the constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t any rioting in the street. People stayed home watching their televisions, looking for direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put a finger on.” Margaret Atwood, “A Handmaid’s Tale.”

“The head of the Social Security Administration has resigned after she refused to by DOGE staffers access to sensitive information. Your information.”
