    SUNDAY: we interview 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Our other guests ➡️
  • Yet another dangerous and discriminatory attack on transgender Americans. We'll fight this hatred with everything we've got. We'll sign the Equality Act into law. And we'll ensure everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
  • Instead of forcing farmers to bear the brunt of this president's disastrous trade war, let's listen to, partner with, and fully invest in rural hospitals, schools, infrastructure, broadband, and communities.

    Thank you for highlighting the importance of Attorneys General + our legal fights to hold big Pharma accountable. PA was targeted by these companies—specifically our vets and seniors—and now we face an opioid epidemic. No more.

    "The only way we’ll get answers now is to move forward on impeachment:" WATCH: joins to discuss Trump's latest attacks, his campaign breaking the mold, and what he thinks of his media coverage
  • We have a president who seeks to undermine our democracy at every turn and further divide an already polarized country. The answer to this is going everywhere, fighting for everyone, and bringing people together to run a campaign for America, everyone for America.
  • We’ll be live with Nicolle Wallace at 4:15 ET/3:15 CT. Hope you’ll tune in!

    I walked into the town hall undecided — I walked out ready to support for . I was impressed with his answers on , , and coming together to face our collective crises.
  • Donald Trump does not just offend our ears or our sensibilities. He makes possible the acts of violence and hatred that we're seeing play out in this country today.
  • Celebrating with Gus!
  • We have a comprehensive plan to mobilize every branch of government to protect Roe v. Wade, end the nationwide assault on reproductive freedom, and fully defend the right of women to make their own decisions about their body. Read it here:
  • Standing strong with workers across the country as we during today’s day of action and every single day. At a time when unions are under attack, let's not forget that they are the backbone of our workforce and essential to making our economy work for all.
  • Really looking forward to being back in Iowa! Excited that Amy will be with us as we travel the state.
  • Congratulations to on the honor. We're proud. But those of us who know him aren't surprised -- his leadership, on the ground work to achieve progress across S.C., and transformational victories on affordable housing make him a national leader we can all count on.
  • We need to promote democracy here at home, making sure that every single vote counts and everyone is able to vote. And then abroad, we must make sure we send the signal that the future of this world is a democratic one, not an autocratic one. Under my administration, we will.
  • Let's rewrite our immigration laws in our own image. Let's reflect our values, our reality, the best interests & traditions of this country that is comprised of immigrants, asylum-seekers, & refugees. I know that we can do it. Today's news makes it all the more urgent that we do.
  • We must stop this. And in a democracy, it's on all of us to do so. We must never again separate another family when they come here at their most vulnerable and desperate moment. We must make every effort and spare no expense to reunite families who have already been separated.
  • Manufacturing a crisis through a series of lies -- refusing to follow our own asylum laws, not allowing asylum seekers to lawfully petition at our ports of entry, sending troops to the border, putting children in desert tent camps, and locking kids under a bridge in El Paso.
  • Separating children from their mothers and fathers then peddling lies about how many remain apart, the number of parents who have been deported without knowing where their kids are, and the sum of children who they've lost track of altogether.
  • Putting kids in cages and continuing to lie about how many remain there. Lying about their health and their care. Lying again and again about when or even if they'll be released.
  • This is only the most recent lie from a president and an administration who continue to inflict suffering, death, and irreversible trauma with the most inhumane and un-American immigration policies. At the expense of our humanity, not to the benefit of our safety.
  • I am calling for an immediate and complete investigation into not only her death under our care but into why we're just now learning about it. There must be accountability, there must be transparency, and there must be justice.
  • On Monday, I said a fifth young asylum seeker had died under our care. But we've just learned that they were actually the sixth. A 10-year-old girl died in U.S. custody back in September and her death was hidden from us for nearly eight months. A cover up.
  • Last night, we outlined 6 ways to reform the justice system: 1⃣End a war on drugs that has become a war on people 2⃣End the prohibition on marijuana 3⃣Expunge the records of those locked away for possessing it 4⃣Eliminate private prisons 5⃣End mandatory minimums 6⃣End cash bail

    When was in Davenport, I had the chance to ask if he would give some advice to my kids, who are running in elections this week for 8th grade student council. Super nice guy, and gives good advice 😊Already encouraging the next generation!
  • As president, I will listen to, partner with, and invest in rural communities and those who grow the food and fiber that feeds and clothes us all. No community will be written off or taken for granted, and no American will be forgotten.
  • Farmers in Iowa and across America are bearing the brunt of this president's disastrous trade war. And these tariffs he's imposing are destroying the markets so many of them worked a lifetime to establish. We need to have an urgent response to this. Here's mine:
