No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,
it is right.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,
it is a strength.
No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,
it is unlimited.
Have we learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? More war isn’t the answer. If it were, the past 70 years would have produced a better outcome than what we see today.

Real leadership listens first, acts transparently, stays accountable, and delivers real results—not headlines.
Public service should be responsive and grounded in community needs.

The American people don’t want more war. Six servicemembers have already died amidst Trump’s illegal attack on Iran. Trump’s response? Announcing he doesn’t care what Americans want. He would needlessly risk more lives with boots on the ground anyway.

Daily Beast article with the headline: "Trump Callously Dismisses More Military Deaths as ‘the Way It Is’"
Disregarding these deaths as just “the way it is” is a slap in the face to our men and women in uniform and anyone with a loved one in the military. He should be ashamed.
entirely possible, except this instance will have a much longer tail because we’re creating new enemies by the minute and the potential consequences of the whole world fucking hating us continue to grow considerably more terrifying.
Last week, I spoke on the floor about how, after seeing the heartbreak and sacrifice of VA military families during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I vowed that I’d do all I could to stop an unnecessary war if I ever had the chance. That time is now. youtube.com/shorts/1OVKj...
“Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?”
“For months, I have raised hell about the fact that the American people want lower prices, not more war—especially wars that aren’t authorized by Congress, as required by the Constitution, and don’t have a clear objective. These strikes are a colossal mistake, and I pray they do not cost our sons and daughters in uniform and at embassies throughout the region their lives. The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and idiotic action.”
My statement regarding President Trump’s illegal war with Iran:
The Supreme Court confirmed what I’ve been saying for months—Trump’s tariffs are illegal. That’s good news for American families and businesses struggling with soaring costs, but what’s next? Tune in to learn:

Why is Pete Hegseth trying to bully AI companies into giving him maximal control over powerful, potentially autonomous weapons? Does anyone really want the Signalgate King having this sort of power?

We all have to be vigilant and not let partisan actors rewrite history – there's already a clear record on adversaries' efforts, much of it compiled during Trump's first term.
Let's be clear on what this admin is likely to try next. They're not just going to unconstitutionally insert the federal government into election processes... they may try to manipulate intel to make it look like there's a reason to.
I deleted the post below because Hoylman posted an updated version stating: "UPDATE: ICE used a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl. It is unconfirmed at this time whether they impersonated an officer to do so."

I’ve worked in early childhood education and seen the power of early support. In Congress, I’ll fight to make quality, affordable early education accessible to every family.

Some questions have a simple yes or no answer. But Trump’s nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Casey Means, wouldn’t give me a straight answer about whether or not the flu vaccine reduces deaths and hospitalizations—something HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. has denied. youtube.com/shorts/tbDE6...
Americans are weighed down by rising costs and disappearing jobs. Trump is failing to address these problems. Instead, he is toying with the idea of attacking Iran, needlessly jeopardizing servicemembers’ safety. I am forcing a vote on my War Powers Resolution to stop him.
I just spoke to the NYPD Public Information Office and they said they were "not involved in any federal investigation."
We’ve been raising the alarm for weeks about Trump’s attacks on our elections — now we’re getting details about how they might be planning to do it.
Let’s be clear: there’s no national emergency. This is a plot to interfere with the will of voters.
Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies.
Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy.
We’re a better country than this.
Reforms are not enough. ICE has been damaged beyond repair by this administration. Its lawful responsibilities need to be transferred to another agency. It must be shut down and the people responsible for its illegal actions need to be held criminally accountable.
"Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this."
Reminder of how they plan to build out and furnish the ICE camps:
Mental health is health. And in Congress, I’ll fight to fund more counselors, expand access, and make sure no one slips through the cracks.
Let’s treat mental health like the priority it is.

Donald Trump’s decision to prioritize redrawing voting maps across the country instead of focusing on lowering costs for families has created extraordinary circumstances for states like Virginia. There is now a temporary proposal aimed at preserving a fair playing field and protecting Virginia voters. While some states are moving ahead through partisan deals behind closed doors, Virginia is following its constitutional process and allowing voters to render the final judgment. We strongly support this effort and Virginia’s commitment to public transparency throughout the process.
My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on the General Assembly and Governor Abigail Spanberger’s approval of a new Virginia congressional map that now heads to Virginians for a referendum vote:
President Trump’s effort to use emergency powers to impose broad-based tariffs on key allies and trading partners was unlawful and ill-advised from the start, and I am glad that the Supreme Court ruled against this egregious and destructive abuse of presidential power. (1/2)
Broad-based tariffs are a tax on American consumers, and the Trump Administration’s attempt to pretend otherwise was laughable in its inaccuracy and deeply disrespectful to the millions of American consumers who have faced higher prices because of Trump’s unaffordable economic policies. The Supreme Court did its job here in upholding the bedrock principle of separation of powers – Congress must step up and do the same on tariffs, war powers, and many other issues. (2/2)
My statement welcoming the Supreme Court ruling that the Trump Administration abused its authorities under IEEPA to impose broad-based tariffs:
Trump is bumbling his way toward war with Iran in a feeble attempt to accomplish what had already been done by a diplomatic deal that was effectively curbing Iran’s nuclear program—until Trump tore it up, over the objections of his then-Secretaries of Defense and State. Virginia families have already suffered enough because of wrongheaded forever wars in the Middle East. Virginians don’t want a President ordering our troops to take action—against foreign countries or against American cities—without congressional debate and vote. (1/2)
I have filed a bipartisan resolution to block this war against Iran unless Congress votes to approve it. If some of my colleagues support war, then they should have the guts to vote for the war, and to be held accountable by their constituents, rather than hiding under their desks. The President is dragging us further and further into overseas quagmires while everyday Americans are weighed down by rising costs, disappearing jobs, and sputtering growth. (2/2)
My statement on Trump’s threat of illegal war with Iran:
"It is difficult to comprehend the level of state-sponsored criminality we are witnessing because our country has never experienced anything like it."- #NYDailyNews
(wait'll ya experience the midterms...)
