Barack Obama on the late Rev. Jesse Jackson: "He was talking about everyone who was left out. Everyone who was forgotten. Everyone who was unseen. Everyone who was unheard. And in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be. The ideals at the very heart of the American experiment. ... We're all part of the American family. We're all endowed with the same inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.
A war that has no domestic or international legal basis. A war that Americans do not support. A war in response to no imminent threat. A pointless war.
Americans are proud of the team bringing home the gold medal.
What diminishes that moment is seeing it turned into a political sideshow, with a president joking about whether to invite the women’s team and an FBI director posing with beers as though he earned a spot on the ice, all funded by taxpayers.
It takes away from the athletes’ achievement and frankly feels embarrassing.
.@PeteButtigieg: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe. And it is very clear on this administration's watch that the opposite is what's happened."
Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn was on the front lines of January 6. Five years later, he warns the greatest threat isn’t just what happened—but the lies rewriting it. “January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.” Read his powerful piece: https://t.co/LCrOhIrfsJ
This Administration is failing to comply with the law and fully release the Epstein files. The victims deserve justice, and those responsible deserve to be held accountable, but Trump is purposely standing in the way of all of it.
Fudali: The survivors have been wronged by administration after administration, Justice Department after Justice Department… This is nothing new for them. They were exploited by Epstein, and then they were exploited by the politicians who surrounded themselves with Epstein.
Headline you don’t usually see on Fox News:
“Trump’s ‘new’ healthcare idea is a painful prescription for working Americans”
- Biden appointee @JessicaSchubel
I’d be honored for you to join - especially since it would be your first time actually facing your constituents in a town hall.
Look forward to hearing you explain your votes to kick Wisconsinites off health care, raise premiums, increase electric bills, and add to the deficit.
I asked former CMS Administrator @TheLaSureSide if the ACA fight at the center of the longest gov. shutdown in US history is worth it, or if Dems need to start from scratch.
"[The ACA] helps not only the people who buy the coverage; it helps all of us," she said. @SpectrumNewsDC
The gov. shutdown is now the longest in US history.
I spoke with former CMS Administrator @TheLaSureSide who says Dems are fighting for the American people, but at the core "we have to run our government where we have discussions and we care about all of the people."
WATCH:
Open enrollment has begun for the ACA marketplaces.
This year, Americans are in for a terrible surprise: their average monthly cost of their health insurance will double in price. For families already stretched thin, this is a deadly crisis.

We can’t let this happen.
And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.
