As the year comes to a close, the saddest part of 2024 was watching history repeat itself, people believing the worst rumors about a woman while turning a blind eye to the worst facts about a man.
History will be kinder to her.
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump stood up and said he would cap credit card interest rates at 10%.
You know what? That's a good idea.
I'm going to introduce legislation to do exactly that.
I sincerely hope that Trump keeps his word.
If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:
1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work
Let's keep fighting for a better world.
I'm confident that a century from now, future Americans will look back on the work we’ve done—much as we look at the Hoover Dam—and see how the Biden-Harris Administration's "Big Deal" for infrastructure made big things possible.
Jimmy Carter died on Sunday, at 100. When he served as President, Carter told us that we needed to shift to solar power. We should have listened to him then, @billmckibben writes. https://t.co/woHeNunDd7
Democrats cannot just respond institutionally to Trump. Extra-judicial, anti-institutional responses are necessary to meet the moment.

Under the leadership of @RepJeffries and @rosadelauro, House Democrats have kept government open and working for the American people.
I commend Leader Jeffries, Rep. DeLauro, our entire Leadership team and all House Democrats for their unity and courage withstanding the Trump-Musk irresponsibility.
Democrats will always fight to protect the needs of America’s working families, veterans, seniors, farmers and first responders against the GOP’s agenda for billionaires and special interests.
The largest donor in the 2024 election, who also happens to be the richest man in the world, tried to hijack negotiations over a spending bill and nearly pushed us to the brink of a disastrous government shutdown.
Good lord do we need to overturn Citizens United.
Our service members can face restrictions on whether they can fix their equipment – so we've seen situations where engines are shipped off for repair, or authorized contractors have to be flown out to sea.
I introduced a military right to repair bill since this isn't only costly and time-consuming – it also deprives service members of experience fixing the equipment they rely on to stay safe.
President Biden has delivered on an ambitious climate agenda. He not only secured the largest climate investment in history, he used it to deliver thousands of manufacturing jobs that are supporting communities across America.
Shirley Chisholm opened doors for future generations with her brilliance and boldness. As President of the Senate, I was honored to sign the Shirley Chisholm Congressional Gold Medal Act, which grants the late Congresswoman Chisholm the highest civilian award Congress can bestow.
As a corporate lobbyist, Trump AG nominee Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM.
Her conflicts of interest are alarming.
The Attorney General should be the people's lawyer — not corporate America's.
Politicians cannot vote their conscience when they know that if they defy billionaire-funded Super PACs, millions will be spent against them at the polls.
We must get Big Money out of our electoral process.
Today, the U.S. economy is in strong shape, with a robust labor market and solid economic growth. Tune in as I join @Greg_Ip at the @WSJ CEO Council Summit to discuss the economic progress we have made under the leadership of @POTUS and @VP.
A trail of documents, corroborated by former colleagues, indicates that Pete Hegseth was forced to step down from two previous leadership positions in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct. https://t.co/dI4wKgseMD
Spotify laid off 17% of its workforce in 2023, while reportedly paying artists just $0.003 per stream.
In 2024, the company hit record profits while its CEO's net worth jumped to $7 billion.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
