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.
Today in Chicago, @BarackObama and @MichelleObama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.
It was a great honor to participate in today’s opening for the Obama Presidential Center, whose purpose of empowering people to make positive change is timely and needed.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
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 is a scientist, devoted to his community, and knows how to build coalitions - just the kind of leader we need in Congress.
I'm proud to be in his corner and looking forward to campaigning with him in Little Rock next week.

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 @RPCoalition Conference, the first since his passing, for a conversation with Yusef Jackson about the need for major reforms and how we can all organize to move America always closer to our highest ideals.
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.
This is an election year! He may not be on the ballot, but his protectors and enablers in Congress are. It's time to send a message.
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.
Keep up the pressure.
I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.”
It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home.
Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.
Something remarkable is happening in Iowa with @turek4iowa's campaign.
Congratulations on earning the nomination, Josh. Looking forward to hitting the trail with you soon.
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.
That’s the kind of campaign @JamieAgerNC is building - and why I was proud to join him on the trail in western North Carolina.
Standing in solidarity with the hardworking men and women of @steelworkers in Whiting, Indiana, who have been locked out for more than two months. It’s time for serious negotiations for a fair deal so this lockout can end and these Hoosiers can get back on the job and earn an income to support themselves and their families.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
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.
Memorial Day calls us to remember our war dead; to honor through action the lives they lived, the families who carry their memory, and the sacrifices that make possible our way of life.
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. They offer access to a commercial kitchen, licensing help, and a pathway to get started without enormous upfront costs.
I could feel the energy and sense of possibility - and (literally) got to taste great work that is going on here.
Great visit to Western North Carolina this week - from learning about @JamieAgerNC'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.
Thank you to everyone who came out to our town hall in Butte and showed the rest of the country what it takes to make progress on an issue this important.
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.
Years later, I’m not sure I would have had the chance to serve if Barney Frank hadn’t demonstrated that courage, commitment, and skill can matter more than others’ imagination about what voters are “ready” for.
He will be missed, and remembered, for generations.
