It’s not right versus left, it’s the top versus everyone else.

Billionaires and special interests are rigging our economy in their favor & it’s time to pick a side.

I’ll stand with working Americans every time.

AOC: For me, I have made very clear that one of my priorities in a leader determination is securing public housing financing for New York City. And Leader Jeffries has made his prioritization for the residents of public housing very clear. And for that reason, I will be supporting Hakeem Jeffries for leader.

The Democratic Party can’t claim to fight for human rights while writing blank checks to the Netanyahu government.

Americans were rightly fed up with our hypocrisy in 2024.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Chaos in Annapolis as time runs out on 2026 General Assembly session.

Nick Cannon and Amber Rose talking politics sparked a lot of conversation—but let me add a layer of history that’s missing.

If you don’t know who Barry Goldwater was, then you don’t fully understand how the modern conservative movement took shape. Most people point to Ronald Reagan because he won the presidency, but the shift started before him—and even before Richard Nixon. They refined and executed a message that Goldwater helped bring into national focus.

Go back and look at the states that went for Goldwater in 1964. That map tells a story.

At some point, we’ve got to build up a stronger platform of advocates and scholars to balance out the noise being pushed into our community. Too many feelings without facts is how people get misled.

Look him up—and tell somebody else. Because too often, the folks doing the real work don’t get amplified like the ones just talking about it.

Share if you care 🦾

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

Reverend Jesse Jackson changed American politics forever. He was a leader ahead of his time, who consistently preached the values of universal human rights & economic dignity.

We must carry on his legacy by continuing his work of creating a more perfect union.

Happy Black History Month.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action.

How did Senate Republicans respond?

By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check.

They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.

We’ve reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more. https://t.co/m0zXuXeC43

🚨🚨 OBAMACARE DAM BREAKS

Four House Republicans rebel against their leadership, teaming up with Democrats to sign a "discharge petition" to force a 3-year extension of enhanced ACA funds to a vote.

Fitzpatrick, Lawler, Bresnahan, Mackenzie. It has 218.

Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up.

The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

KRISTEN WELKER: If Democrats win the midterms do you want to see Leader Jeffries become the speaker of the House?

MAYOR-ELECT ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Yes.

KRISTEN WELKER: Okay. That was a firm, quick answer.

It looks like the minimum wage legislation require's Virginia's minimum wage to keep up with the pace of inflation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis. 

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.
