No president should have a blank check to deploy our military against the American people.

Stand Up America members drove 3,000 calls to their local stations in the last two days demanding that Jimmy Kimmel be returned to their television programming.

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.

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.

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.

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 β€” just to name a few blunders.

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.

Opinion | If You Care About Your Savings, Pay Attention to Trump’s Attack on The Fed 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 β€” and history will remember β€” who continues to stand with him.

Every elected official should be demanding that the administration follow SCOTUS's order and return Garcia to the U.S. immediately.

The President is not a king, and court orders are not optional.

If they can bypass courts for him, then they can try to do the same to any of us.

Republicans say the SAVE Act would prevent non-citizens from registering, but that is already illegal. It's actually an attempt to trick lawmakers into making it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote.

The House will vote on the SAVE Act tomorrow. 🚨

It requires Americans nationwide to provide a passport or birth certificate in person with current legal name to register to vote.

146 million Americans don't have a passport.

69 million women don’t have a birth certificate with their married name.
