    It's a shame that tonight's won't reflect the diversity of our party. I'm not going to be on the stage, but our pathway to victory is still very real. If you're with me, chip in now so we can keep spreading our message to voters:
  • Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! May the reason for the season inspire us to celebrate redeeming, unconditional love and also practice it. May we serve the poor, relieve suffering, welcome the stranger, visit the imprisoned and love our neighbor.
  • In every moment of your life, you have a choice: to live your truth and light or diminish it.
  • Why does Santa have three gardens? He likes to ho, ho, ho!

    In Opinion Tali Farhadian Weinstein, the general counsel of the Brooklyn district attorney’s office writes, "For my family’s first Christmas, America gave us safety, kept us together and offered us a chance at a new life"
  • I will fight back against any attempt to cut Social Security. Instead of reducing monthly benefits, let's increase them. We must protect this critical lifeline for so many of our seniors—and commit ourselves to ensuring its solvency for generations to come.
  • We need to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Anything less is an injustice.
  • No one should have to impoverish themselves or quit their job in order to get the care they need or secure care for a loved one. I have a plan to fix our long-term care system:
  • It's shameful how our criminal justice system treats the most vulnerable in our society, poor people and people of color. We have so much more work to do to reform this tragically broken system.
  • Chag Sameach to everyone celebrating the first night of Hanukkah! A profound story of a universal truth: Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.
  • Grateful for my friend for sharing his deeply personal story—a reminder of the trauma and struggles that gun violence survivors endure, and our urgent need to reform our broken gun laws to save lives. Please read & share.
  • Americans families are being left with more month at the end of their money than money at the end of their month. The Renter’s Credit will help millions cover the cost of rising rent and lift 9.4 million Americans out of poverty.
  • 'Tis the season!
  • As we gather with loved ones for the holidays, a haunting story of the violence migrant families face trying to secure better lives. In this season of love, I pray we find the empathy to change our immoral immigration policies. This is a crisis in our power to end.
  • Our next president should fight for the well-being of animals. I've been a proud supporter of animal welfare causes for my entire career—and I'll continue to be when I'm in the Oval Office.
