Donald Trump is stuck in “no man’s land” on Iran—he doesn't want to commit to war, but he's also unwilling to make the concessions needed for a deal.

So instead, it’s delay after delay—“two weeks, two weeks”—as the crisis grows more dangerous.

Tell Congress to Say No to Warrantless AI Mass Surveillance The War on Terror-era legislation that authorized decades of civil liberties-eroding mass surveillance is set to expire. Congress needs to overhaul the bill to protect our privacy, or allow it to die....

A little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution to spy on American citizens is set to expire at the end of this month.

We need to make sure Democrats don’t reauthorize this civil liberties disaster. 👇

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.

But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

Virginia voters just handed Democrats another win in the Great Redistricting Wars Trump’s gerrymandering efforts are backfiring.

Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.

They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.

We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.

Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"
Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... "

His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.

Democrats did not step back. We fought back. When they go low, we hit back hard. 

We won Prop 50 in California, reclaimed a seat in Utah, pushed back extremists in Ohio and halted toxic GOP efforts in Indiana, New Hampshire, Nebraska and Kansas.



Tonight, thanks to the relentless work of Virginia Democrats, led by Governor Abigail Spanberger, Speaker Don Scott, State Majority Leader Scott Surovell and President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas, “YES” won and Donald Trump lost. Virginians spoke with a crystal-clear voice, voting to stop the MAGA power grab and protect the integrity of free and fair elections.



This war is not over. Next week, Ron DeSantis is hauling the Florida legislature back into a special session to redraw maps because Republicans know they are on the verge of an epic defeat in November. DeSantis is clearly more interested in illegal gerrymandering than lowering the high cost of living or fixing our broken healthcare system. Right now, nearly 5 million Floridians are facing higher premiums because Republicans failed to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.



If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump’s dummymander in Texas. We will aggressively target for defeat Mario Díaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez, Kat Cammack, Anna Paulina Luna, Laurel Lee, Cory Mills and Brian Mast. We are prepared to take them all on, and we are prepared to win. 



Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”
