Because President Trump is on the verge of losing an election, he is making desperate moves to meddle and impact the outcome. We have to be vigilant. We have to protect the vote.

This shouldn’t be complicated. If you break the law or abuse taxpayer dollars, you should be held accountable.

Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa are the states I'll be looking at early on to see if it's a Blue wave or a Blue Tidal Wave. The PA numbers look promising in the House. nytimes.com/2026/10/25/us/po…

President Trump got us into a war in Iran with no plan to get out. The American people are now paying for it. And @MikeRogersForMI supported it.

For years, our health care system has prioritized profits over patients. It’s time that changes. We need a Health Care Bill of Rights.

I just learned this minute that the Brewers-Rays game ended 3-2, not 3-1. I turned it off after the ... uh ... game ending double play.

Moderates are the majority makers. "The people endorsed by the far left have flipped a total of zero seats," @ThirdWayMattB tells @JohnBerman.

This is not the first time this president has tried to weaponize the justice system against me. At his direction, earlier this year, the Department of Justice took me to a D.C. grand jury to have me criminally indicted for sedition. If President Trump had his way, I'd be in prison. Thankfully, an anonymous group of Americans, whom I will never meet, voted unanimously that all I was doing was exercising basic free speech. So I know from experience, when it comes to weaponizing the government, the president says what he means, and he means what he says.

.@RahmEmanuel "has a superpower that no other candidate has: He’s not dying to be loved by everybody. That gives him a tool that most people running for office aren’t able to deploy.” I tell @dmontyjr of @washingtonsun washingtonsun.com/perspectiv…

Rahm Emanuel Embodies His Party’s Past. Could He Also Be Its Future?

On the road with an extreme moderate as he mocks the left and (maybe) makes his case for 2028.

When you say something President Trump and his allies don't like, they run a play to intimidate you and to get you to shut up. It's not going to work. We can't let it.
