JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
The colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor over taxation.
Congressional Republicans are dumping trillions onto the national debt to fund tax breaks for billionaires, ICE raids, and cuts to Medicare and Social Security.
Close enough, apparently.
With so much at stake, I'm heartened to see so many young people stepping up to serve in politics right now. This is how we build the Blue Wave and take back our country.
Excited to welcome a new class of Democracy Summer Fellows, part of a paid internship program set up by @jamie_raskin, @MaxwellFrostFL, @AndyKimNJ and the @dccc to help train up the next generation of Democratic organizers while pushing forward towards the 2026 elections.
Yes, the reflecting pool is an apt metaphor for the corruption and dysfunction and complete ineptitude of the Trump administration.
Itโs also another example of the abuse of power that weโve seen time and again from Trump and his lackeys, with ZERO oversight from House GOP.
They trashed the White House, used the entire federal government to promote this spectacle, and they only got 7 million viewers? For context, not only is this a lot less than other fights, the Puppy Bowl drew 15.3 million viewers this year. https://t.co/7R7Z6u57cr
We celebrate Juneteenth to remember the end of slavery but also to bring new energy to the fight for freedom, even as those in power are rewriting history, banning books, and cracking down on dissent.
Juneteenth marks the last slaves in Texas receiving word of their emancipation, marking the end of slavery in this country. Itโs a reminder that freedom has not always existed for all in America, and that it has taken hard fights, fueled by a drive for justice, to expand freedom.
In Korea on a family vacation and we are excited to catch the Korea-Mexico game in Gwanghwamun Plaza with thousands of other fans (including a good number of Mexico supporters)! Letโs go Red Devils!
Pride started as a protest. That matters.
At a time when politicians are using the LGBTQ+ community as punching bags to score points with the far right, we should remember what Pride has always been about: courage, visibility, and refusing to be pushed back into the shadows.
The restaurants we love, the small businesses, the classrooms, hospitals, and neighborhoods that make this place homeโall of it has been shaped by immigrants who believed in building something better here. I remain committed to fighting for an America that honors that promise.
Saluting the Trump or MAGA flag, or using the US flag to try to promote Trump or MAGA, is not only disrespecting the flag, it is signaling that your loyalty lies with Trump and not America.
This Flag Day, I want to remind you all that the US Flag Code expressly prohibits altering the American flag, or using the flag for any advertising purposes.
Trump is once again saying the quiet part out loud: he wants to seize power wherever he can.
Threatening to โtake backโ Washington, D.C. and run it from the federal government is not public safety. It is authoritarianism with a real estate slogan.
