Thank you to Mayor @randallwoodfin and the people of Birmingham for welcoming me and sharing your concern and stories. Conversations like these - offline, in real life - are vital for understanding our moment and for building hope. https://t.co/tssuSKVAB8

The truth is that our troubled times are more precedented than we might want to admit. In this moment, we should draw courage and inspiration from the civil rights heroes whose example compels us to do our part to deliver a better, more just future. https://t.co/NaKVbIi9lQ

What an honor to walk on this hallowed ground in Selma with some of the civil rights foot soldiers who marched here 61 years ago on #BloodySunday. We have so much to learn from the the moral power, and the physical courage, of the marchers who faced down Jim Crow on that day. https://t.co/ivXUJfp9uO

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure. https://t.co/LR83KFzOSs

RT @VoteBobBrooks: My friend @PeteButtigieg came to town this week, and 450 of you showed up to see us. Pete said it well: Democrats nee…

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful. https://t.co/Hq6htxwk7v

We have learned - the hard way - how launching a reckless war of choice with no clear endgame can put Americans in greater danger. https://t.co/NJ8cqjlw12

They can't stick to a story for longer than three hours. https://t.co/ix9GbEgIy7

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice. https://t.co/5iMwkDwnr5

I’ll be joining @kaitlancollins tonight on @CNN at 9:00pm ET. Hope you’ll tune in.

Americans know this war will do nothing to help - and will very likely make things worse - when it comes to the biggest challenges we face here at home. Donald Trump or his wealthy friends won’t pay the price. It will fall on service members and their families, on taxpayers,

I wrote about what’s at stake - and what we as citizens can do. Read full post here: https://t.co/ksgx1nB9zo

Grieving for the four American service members known so far to have been killed in action, and praying for the families of these patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Their loss reminds us why sending troops into harm's way is the gravest responsibility a leader can face - a

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

This is a time for coalition. We may not agree on everything, but surely the defense of liberty in the face of this administration's abuses can bring together progressives, libertarians, and quite a few conservatives in common cause. https://t.co/falwT2EsMq

This dad with twins couldn’t agree more. Here’s what we did about it on my watch. https://t.co/CrZQIt8b3R

Hard to tell if the Trump administration killed this or is just slow-walking it. Either way, they should change course and allow our policy to take effect.

Great conversation in Henderson, Nevada, with my friend @sandra4nv as we joined union leaders and apprentices to discuss the state's economy. A leader in the State Assembly, she has been highly effective and consistent in standing up for Nevada workers. https://t.co/dCNyGmWy99

Um

You could begin by restoring the passenger rights work you rolled back - and then seriously enforce airline laws, like we did. Trust me, it gets results!

The President isn't fooling most Americans: he is actively making life in this country more expensive. https://t.co/rA6eWOarwq

So, the Trump DOJ failed to release files concerning an Epstein accuser with claims involving Trump... but did manage to accidentally reveal that the files existed? Americans are fed up with this administration’s mix of incompetence and corruption. Time to come clean.

París, zona catastrófica: 890 detenidos, un 45% más que en 2025, y 178 policías heridos tras la segunda Champions del PSG

Beer is more expensive because of Donald Trump's tariffs. https://t.co/EKYQueip2S

This administration has managed to do many big things at once. The problem is they're all harmful. The next time our party earns the chance to lead, we have to be prepared to aim big and do many things at once - things that will actually help improve life in America. https://t.co/UGOpvvaUXA

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

Busy days ahead for our new Fraud Czar, JD Vance. https://t.co/5gZG8vgFly

We don't always have to wait for an election to see results. Last week I met Granite Staters raising their voice against this proposed ICE detention facility. Today, they won: the Trump administration gave up. Never underestimate your own power in moments like these.

Some thoughts before the President's speech tonight. https://t.co/peqqYnwRQm

I believe in the future of manufacturing in America because I've seen it. That future depends on our support for innovation and workers, not the failed tariffs. Still, more disruptions are coming, for both white-collar and blue-collar work. To respond wisely, we have to pay https://t.co/LgDgLYzJUS

Join me in Concord, NH for a grassroots mobilization event. Tune in: https://t.co/VVYwKNgTgF

The average household lost more than $1,000 to Trump's tariffs. Now the Court has spoken: this was unlawful all along. The President owes you an apology - and a refund.

RT @ShawnForGeorgia: Honored to have the endorsement of Secretary @PeteButtigieg in the #GA14 race. As a fellow veteran, he understands wh…

It’s far too expensive to raise a family in America right now - and the cost of child care is a big reason why. Congresswoman @MaggieG603 is leading on this, and I was grateful to spend time with her and local advocates in Concord working to ease the burden on working families

The Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, which we've been paying for about a year now. This is good news for the American people - and it's the latest proof that this president, no matter what he says, can be stopped. https://t.co/J95DWVydKt -

Great to be on the trail with my friend @ChrisPappasNH today. As New Hampshire’s next Senator, he will relentlessly focus on making life more affordable and stand up to end the chaos and corruption of this moment. https://t.co/GHphT2grkr

How do you feel about having paid about $1,000 in Trump tariffs over the past year?

We need leaders rooted in service, solutions, and a commitment to make government deliver for the people who need it most. Since I first got to know her six years ago, I’ve seen that @sandra4nv represents those values so well. I’m proud to be in her corner once again and to https://t.co/WrJeRa0PuB

Sending warm wishes for peace and joy to Muslims around the world as they begin observing this holy month. Ramadan Mubarak!

America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal. As we pray for his family and loved https://t.co/TdTdFK7bkW

I’m thrilled to support my friend @AmyKlobuchar for governor of Minnesota. I’ve worked alongside her and seen firsthand how she shows up, listens, and takes action to get results for the people she serves. Minnesotans deserve steady, caring leadership now more than ever - and they will be very well served with Amy leading their state. -
