Thanks to everyone who showed up for this week’s conversation — and to everyone doing the hard work to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this November.

I was delighted to join Attorney General Aaron Ford, Rep. Steven Horsford, and Sandra Jauregui in Las Vegas to meet with some of Nevada’s young leaders and hear their stories.

Pete Hegseth is at work stirring up ideological divisions in order to deflect from his failures in the Iran War. It's obvious, and we aren't falling for it.

JD Vance is sizing up a $9 million Virginia estate while preaching to the rest of us that housing is more affordable than ever. No one believes him.

As Transportation Secretary, I could always count on a Congressional Republican to take credit for an infrastructure win that they had voted against. That's the type of behavior that makes people cynical about politics - but it doesn't have to be that way.

Democrats have to explain what we're trying to build, not just what we're trying to block.

Thanks to everyone - of all ages - who showed up on a Saturday to knock on doors and make sure our excellent Democratic candidates win up and down the ballot this November.

This “$5,000” thing is fooling no one. But it has made one thing clear: Republican desperation at the 1-month-out mark.

It was a beautiful day to be at the Deerfield Fair! A big thanks to @maggiefornh.com for showing me around and to Rockingham County Democrats for the warm welcome.

We owe it to our children to act - in these uncertain and pivotal times - so that they can live in a better future.

Feeling energized and hopeful after joining Congressman Chris Pappas, Stefany Shaheen, and Cinde Warmington to rally in Rochester last night. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their Friday to join us.

Granite Staters are energized by the campaign @chrispappasnh.bsky.social is running! It was great to join him in Manchester today to meet with volunteers and hear about the work they’re doing on the ground. I’m proud to be in Chris’ corner.

It feels very good to be back in the Granite State. Thanks to @stefanyshaheen.com for showing me a few great spots in downtown Manchester this morning — and a big thanks to everyone who came up to say hello, as well!

When my kids grow up and look back at the 2020s, I want them to see that I worked hard to make their world better.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

When Linus asked me how he could make the world a better place, it made me think: What could the world look like if more adults asked that question every day?

I worked with leaders on both sides of the river as Secretary of Transportation to help get funding for the Brent Spence Bridge Project across the finish line. For about 20 years, people only talked about making something happen - now, we actually are.

Persuasion isn't about saying "I told you so" - it's about bringing people together to make things better.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.
