Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC. To all those who bravely served our country, thank you to you and your family for your extraordinary service. The sacrifices that all of you have made to protect our

The first US veterans were farmers, laborers, and tradesmen. Washington called their endurance a “standing miracle.” On Veterans Day, we honor every generation that has carried that same resolve. A clip from our upcoming film, The American Revolution (on PBS Nov. 16).

Between OH, KS, CA, VA and now this huge win in UT, Democrats have quietly strung together an impressive streak of victories over the past few weeks that have, surprisingly, pushed the mid-decade redistricting war closer to a draw.

the inimitable Adam Serwer “the cruelty is the point”: American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is outrageous. Another reason the CR should not pass. It creates a new offense, tailored perfectly to allow Trump to write a government check of millions of dollars to 8 Republican Senators. GOP Leader Thune just made 8 of his colleagues rich. Off taxpayer money.

The Islamophobia and anti-South Asian hate on this app is unhinged. The anti-Muslim rhetoric pushed by the right, laundered by “centrists,” and echoed by too many liberals has real safety costs in the United States. For the average racist, there is no difference: Muslim, Hindu,

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Let’s not forget: Trump ran for president and told oil executives ‘I need a billion dollars from you and I'll roll back basically the last century of regulations.’ He is the polluted heart of this entire crisis.

Ghislaine Maxwell is an unrepentant child sex predator. So why would an American President even consider commuting her sentence? This would be a national disgrace. @HouseJudiciary Democrats want answers.

Historian here, I sincerely apologize to all my male colleagues for ruining the workplace.

Counterpoint to my positive spin on this. The people who cut this "deal" should really just go hide underground for a week because their messaging is so awful that it is only making things worse for them.

Honored to represent the Golden State in Brazil today — proof that clean energy and innovation strengthen our economy, communities, and planet. While Donald Trump is busy handing the future to China, California continues to build and invest in it.

Again I do not understand why people who are retiring were negotiating?

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @SenSchumer engineered the surrender

Almost a dozen tickets had to be refunded.

“We are truly putting the brakes on scientific innovation in this country at a time when our ostensible adversary, China, is going faster and faster and faster,” says Harvard scientist Don Ingber. “If we can’t be the leader, we’re going to be the follower.”

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly. A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here. U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced
