We’ve just marked two years since the horrific attacks of Oct. 7 — and soon, on February 24th, it will be four years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The question now: will President Trump use his new standing to leverage Putin’s vulnerability the way he leveraged Netanyahu’s

President Trump sending 500 National Guards to Chicago is not bringing public safety to our streets. Neither is defunding the police. These are false choices. Both are wrong. Neither offers a comprehensive or sustained path to public safety. Real safety is about putting more

At mile 15.5 on a beautiful day in Chicago — 50K runners, 50K fans, and a city united in endurance. No one here got the memo that this is a “war-torn” city. These runners are running better than our current government.

Watch now on C-SPAN: @RahmEmanuel and @Mike_Pence on first episode of C-SPAN's "Ceasefire" with host @DashaBurns

C-SPAN's "Ceasefire" — @Mike_Pence and @RahmEmanuel reflect on their shared time in Congress. See the entire conversation on the premiere episode TONIGHT on C-SPAN at 7pm & 10pm ET/PT.

It was great to see my old friend and colleague @Mike_Pence at @cspan and discuss what unites us as Americans. While it’s obvious we have different policy positions, at our core, we believe in American exceptionalism and the American experiment. We both agree that being American

American families are struggling to pay their bills and afford health care. President Trump and the GOP Congress cut coverage for 20 million Americans — but somehow found $20 billion to bail out Argentina. To be Argentinian in Trump’s world is truly the gift that keeps on

Three professors at American universities—two at public institutions, two foreign-born—just won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Imagine if Trump had his way: no funding for groundbreaking research, no visas for scholars who want to be part of America, and no Nobel Prizes or bragging

Anybody who knows me knows how passionate I am about education. My dad was a pediatrician and I was on track to become an early childhood educator. We have a national education crisis in America. Both parties have gotten sidetracked on the education metrics that matter by

Washington may not be noticing what’s happening in our schools, but parents and educators are. Democrats should be focused on resolving the education crisis, writes @RahmEmanuel https://t.co/dawMUOJN99

The latest education data is devastating: American students are performing worse in math and reading than they were a generation ago. Instead of confronting this crisis, Washington is silent. We’ve let the national debate get hijacked by distractions—bathrooms, pronouns, and

As Chicago’s mayor, I helped transform the nation’s “worst” schools into one of its best, boosting graduation rates and achievement. America needs similar reform: return K-8 to fundamentals, reinvent high school for today’s economy, and put education at the center of Democrats’

I was asked in Iowa how the Democratic party can win again. The answer is simple. The American Dream has become unaffordable and inaccessible —and that should be unacceptable to us Democrats. The American Dream should be a shared reality, not a privilege for the few. We can't

The American Dream is unaffordable and inaccessible, and that is unacceptable. In the past, you could strive to achieve a middle-class life, but today it’s a struggle. Our children are at a 30-year low in reading and math scores, and no one in Washington has noticed. As I travel

How is it that we can spend $20 billion for Argentina - no questions asked – but cut $900 billion in health care coverage to Americans via the Big Beautiful bill? The Trump administration is bailing out La Plata, Argentina but is turning its back on La Plata, Colorado’s health

We are failing our young men in America. The basic principles of the American Dream - the ability own a home, to afford health care without going into Chapter 11, to save for retirement, to send your kids to college is not feasible for the average American. These foundation

Congress found additional resources to enhance their own personal security (a worthy expenditure) but cannot find resources for the American public’s health care security. While members will get greater protection, millions of Americans will be at risk of losing health care,

Everyone has a responsibility to act with the civic and moral code that comes with our citizenship. Past Presidents have led the nation by strengthening the threads that bind Americans. Mr. President, lead us in reigniting those common virtues. More pulpit, less bully, please.
