Today, I was so proud to host ‘Have a Harc’ Day at the Capitol! And, doubly proud to be recognized as their advocate and legislator of the year! ♥️

National Democratic leader boosts Larson in Hartford; ICE protesters interrupt House leader Hakeem Jeffries of Brooklyn, N.Y. delivered a pep talk to more than 200 Larson supporters as Larson is battling in a four-way Democratic primary after holding his seat for 27 years.

Leader Jeffries and Democrats in D.C. have told working people for years that if they just give Democrats more money, they’ll fight back next time. ‘Next time’ never comes. Nothing will change until we elect people who refuse to play by the old rules. #democraticprimary #peoplepower

Massie: "Here is an email that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it! Literally the worst thing you could do the survivors you did."

How Does a Primary Election Work, Anyway? If you’ve been following this campaign, you’ve seen me talk about the urgent need to get money out of politics and put the needs of everyday people ahead of donors. Before any of that can happen, thou...

YouTube video by More Perfect Union We Uncovered the Scheme Keeping Grocery Prices High

Walmart is using its power over suppliers to push grocery prices up. This terrific explainer draws on newly unsealed details from an antitrust case—filed by Lina Khan and dropped by Trump—to show how. I’m proud that @ilsr.bsky.social helped get the case unsealed. And thrilled to help tell the story.

Jillian Gilchrest: Your voice shouldn’t come with a price tag If we want Congress to function again, to actually help people, restrain abuse of power, and meet moments of crisis, we have to change what it’s built around.

Check out my oped!

$5,000— That’s the cost of admission to get in the room with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is coming to Connecticut to headline a fundraiser this week. Not to listen. Not to learn. Not to respond to what people here are enduring.

It’s almost Galentine’s Day ladies!! Join our team this Thursday for a little get-together at J Bar! #galentinesday

Good to be in community to honor the life of #AlexPretti and call on Congress to do more to stop #ICE and hold #Trump accountable. @aftct.bsky.social

Tell Congress no to funding ICE. You can’t negotiate with liars. You can’t negotiate with murderers. You can’t negotiate with fascists. #ice #abolishice #congress

The Trump Administration is now arresting journalists. I ask again, where is Congress? Impeachment is the only choice. #donlemon #impeach #fascism #congress @citizensimpeachment.com

Speaking out against ICE and Trump really brings out some gems. Do you think the sexism impacts their ability to spell? #sexism #womenrunning #womeninpolitics
