The Trump-Vance administration wants us to celebrate inflation rates that are *higher* than when they came into office. They promised to lower costs and keep us out of war, then did the opposite.

People want change - and not just people who usually vote Democrat. Whether it's the Iran war, cost of living, health care, or fairer taxes, we have a majority. But a majority in American public opinion doesn’t automatically mean a majority in Congress. We have to earn it.

A lot of us know people - good people - who may have believed the promises they were told about "draining the swamp" or "no new wars." Now is the time to reach out to them. Not to say, "I told you so," but to say, "He doesn't deserve you."

Don't let anyone tell us we can't have nice things - like good roads, schools, and health care - as if the world's richest nation couldn't possibly afford it.

It is a carnival of corruption. Congressional stock trading. First Family crypto schemes. A secondhand jumbo jet. These are not academic concerns. They hurt all of us - and they are related to the reasons we can't have common-sense outcomes that most Americans actually agree on.

Monopolies squeezing farmers. Consumers and workers squeezed on all sides. Small businesses swamped by the big guys. Our economic reality will not change until we change what's wrong with our political system.

You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to good affordable health care and the best public schools. You are actually part of an American majority.

I’m looking forward to casting my ballot for our next Congresswoman, Callie Barr! She's made an extraordinary difference delivering for military families, and I know she'll bring the same focus to the Capitol on behalf of Northern Michigan and the UP.

A great evening right here in Traverse City with Jocelyn Benson! I've seen up close her unwavering integrity as a leader and her focus on making sure government delivers for every Michigander.

This holiday weekend, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, I'll be thinking not just about the history of the United States but about our future.

The court has spoken: Trump's attempt to get political revenge by shutting down the Hudson Tunnel project wasn't just illegal, but "flagrantly" unlawful. This ruling is good news for the thousands of workers building the project and the hundreds of thousands of commuters who will depend on it.

I was proud to join @jonesforar.bsky.social in Little Rock to send a message that there is no such thing as a permanently red state, especially when so many people are seeking leaders who will improve everyday life and make Washington more accountable.

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, Barack and Michelle Obama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.

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.

Being an American isn't about your ancestry or ethnicity. It's about fidelity to the meaning of this country - its revolutionary, threefold promise of political equality, economic opportunity, and personal liberty.

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 Rainbow PUSH Coalition Conference, the first since his passing, for a conversation with Yusef Jackson.

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.

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?

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.

I've been calling grassroots donors to say thank you for their support. Being on the road takes resources, and I don't take it lightly when someone chooses to chip in a few dollars to make this work possible. One of those calls was with Jon in New Mexico. Here's how that conversation went:

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.

Great visit to Western North Carolina this week - from learning about Jamie Ager'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.

So much depends on whether our system, and our leaders, speak to what is best in us - or what is worst in us.

Americans agree that corporate money in politics has gone way too far. This year, Montanans have a chance to do something about that.

JD Vance remains busy with name-calling, but the Trump Administration's economic failures are there for all to see.

Instead of trying to earn more votes, Republican officials across the South are executing a systematic effort to dismantle Black political representation in Congress through gerrymandering. It's time for broad reforms to end this kind of gerrymandering for good.

It was a pleasure to spend time with Prime Minister Carney last week in Toronto.

Once Democrats do win back power in Washington, we must not think our job is to restore a broken prior status quo. Here's what should come next:
