I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Iโ€™m not backing down, and weโ€™re going to win.

Emergencies are like war, famine or tornadoes.

Good for Rand Paul!

Emergencies aren't what the President says. They are not beyond review.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just wonโ€™t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

Democrats are determined to lower the high cost of living.

And address the GOP healthcare crisis that is crushing everyday Americans.

Republicans donโ€™t give a damn about reopening the government or making life better for you.

Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage.

This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, letโ€™s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Two and a half centuries ago, a handful of farmers and printers and philosophers looked across an ocean at the most powerful man in the world โ€” and said no to a king.

Today, in town and cities across America, we again say No Kings.
