The most important title in our democracy is citizen, and I'm encouraging every eligible American to get out and vote in our elections. Know that we'll have your back when you do.

This decision is an unacceptable step backward that threatens access to care for women across the country. Reproductive healthcare decisions belong between a woman and her doctor. I will keep fighting to protect that fundamental right. pbs.org/newshour/healt…

At the end of the day, your vote is your power in American democracy. We want to make sure every American is empowered. Hear how we're making that happen in my conversation with @TPM.

The more we shed light on Donald Trump's attempts to take over American elections, and the rights voters have, the less likely he is to succeed in silencing voters.   I talked about my work with @HouseAdm_Dems on @TPM.

Grateful to Virginia Canter from @DDAction_ for joining our Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force meeting this week.   We need real change, and we are determined to find the best path forward, together.

At the end of the day, our goal is simple: stop problems before they start, because once something happens, it’s hard to undo. And ultimately, this comes down to empowering you, the voters. Your vote is your power. And we want to make sure every American is empowered.

New reporting from @TPM takes a deeper look at the work I'm leading on @HouseAdm_Dems to prepare for threats to our elections. This is about protecting the will of the voters, and making sure we’re ready for Donald Trump's corruption and chaos.🧵

We've always had a Department of Justice that was focused on protecting the American right to vote.   That's not the case with Donald Trump's DOJ. You can see how he targets groups of voters he disagrees with.   I talked about how we're going to stop him on @TPM.

On International Workers Day, we honor the strength and contributions of workers everywhere who fuel progress and shape our future. We must focus on building an economy that rewards hard work with fair pay, strong protections, and real opportunity.

Donald Trump talks about changes to our elections in terms of how it helps the Republican party, and that's telling. The work we are doing on @HouseAdm_Dems is about protecting every American's right to vote, not one party. I talk about this and more on @TPM.

The Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force heard from experts this week, like Daniel Schuman from the American Governance Institute, on how we can hold Congress more accountable to the public. We're creating a more unified democracy that works for every American.

I voted NO on the Republican-led “skinny farm bill.” This bill locks in cuts to food assistance, turns a blind eye to the rising cost of living, and asks working families to shoulder the burden. We should be fighting to restore support for families, not taking it away.
