Not only are you not alone if you believe things don't have to be this way. In fact you are part of a powerful American majority, one with the power to decide our future.

Juneteenth reminds us that nothing about freedom can be taken for granted. As we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, we are also called to reckon with the lasting impacts on Black Americans, and inequality in this country more broadly.

Today in Chicago, Barack and Michelle Obama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.

The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power.

We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.

This year we have a real opportunity to prove that there is no such thing as a permanently red state or district.

@jonesforar.bsky.social is a scientist, devoted to his community, and knows how to build coalitions - just the kind of leader we need in Congress.

Being an American isn't about your ancestry or ethnicity.

It's about fidelity to the meaning of this country - its revolutionary, threefold promise of political equality, economic opportunity, and personal liberty.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's example and legacy have been on my mind a lot lately as we confront the challenges of our moment.

It was an honor to join the Annual Rainbow PUSH Coalition Conference, the first since his passing, for a conversation with Yusef Jackson.

Who knows what the President meant when he said he loves the inflation - but it's clear that inflation keeps getting worse, while he stays focused on anything but the cost of living.

Inflation is growing worse, and the president is fixated on all the wrong things - building a ballroom, making himself immune from audits, and waging a war he started without a plan to end it.

Where is the Republican plan to make life more affordable in America?

Despite being under Republican control, the House just defied President Trump on the Iran war.

No amount of lying or bullying by the White House can make Americans forget we're paying for a senseless war.

Now even some GOP Members of Congress are recognizing they ultimately answer to us - not him.

Looking forward to seeing @debhaalandnm.bsky.social become New Mexico's next Governor. Congratulations on tonight's primary victory, and onward to November!

Politics doesn’t have to feel like something punching you in the face every time you check the news. We can come together around big, common-sense ideas that most Americans agree on.

Standing in solidarity with the hardworking men and women of @steelworkers.bsky.social in Whiting, Indiana, who have been locked out for more than two months.

I've been calling grassroots donors to say thank you for their support. Being on the road takes resources, and I don't take it lightly when someone chooses to chip in a few dollars to make this work possible. One of those calls was with Jon in New Mexico.

Here's how that conversation went:

We owe all that we have to the selfless Americans, in our own generation and back through time to the Founding, who gave their lives defending our nation.

In the Hispanic Nomar neighborhood of Wichita, an organization called Empower is providing entrepreneurs with the tools and support to turn talent and hard work into thriving food businesses.

Great visit to Western North Carolina this week - from learning about Jamie Ager's small business while visiting his farm, to making the case for the campaign underway.

The Montana Plan is bipartisan, common-sense, and one of the best opportunities in a long time to put Citizens United where it belongs: in the ashbin of history.

Seeing coverage of Congress as a young man in Indiana, I remember watching Barney Frank run circles around bad-faith arguments with his formidable intellect and unique political style.

So much depends on whether our system, and our leaders, speak to what is best in us - or what is worst in us.

Praying for those murdered today in their place of worship and for San Diego’s entire Muslim community. We must all stand united to reject such violence and stand against hate in every form.

Americans agree that corporate money in politics has gone way too far.

This year, Montanans have a chance to do something about that.

JD Vance remains busy with name-calling, but the Trump Administration's economic failures are there for all to see.
