We have become the party of the status quo, when we’re not. We’re actually the party of change, the party of transferring power from powerful people to people who have no power.

If I have one critique of the 2020 election campaign, it’s that the tent pole of that campaign was democracy, saving democracy, not breaking up concentrated economic power. And in retrospect, I think that was a mistake.
I think that the traditional sort of political rules still apply. If we have people out on the streets protesting, if we’re overwhelming Republican town halls, if we’re lighting up the phone lines here, political gravity still exists.
That economic message, the message that speaks to a lot of things that Bernie Sanders talks about, is a unifying message in this country.
Maybe part of the reason that some of my stuff and messaging is breaking through right now is because I don’t have that ambition.
This moment is different, that this threat is unique — and to me, you know, we don’t have another year to fight this attempt to destroy democracy. Our democracy might be gone in six months.
authenticity is the only thing that matters in politics — that folks will actually let you make a lot of mistakes as long as they feel like they’re hearing you genuinely.
When somebody is trying to grab power, when somebody is trying to destroy democracy, they benefit from people who are static, who refuse to be nimble.
Being president is 'just not in my brain at all right now,' ... 'sounds like a pretty hard, miserable job.'
I think every Democrat needs to make up their own mind. I think that State of the Union speech is going to be a farce. I think it’s gonna be a MAGA pep rally.

The administration is brazenly attempting to blow through Congress and the courts by announcing the completion of their sham ‘review’ of foreign aid and the immediate termination of thousands of aid programs all over the world.

Maybe not the best time to fire hundreds of FAA workers, tell the remaining workers you want to 'put them in trauma,' and let Musk in to cannabalize the FAA for profit.
the U.S. attorney for D.C. is not 'President Trump's lawyer' and its job is not to 'protect his leadership'
Guess how much they plan on giving the super rich as a tax cut? $2 TRILLION. People are going to die including kids.
This week the House is voting on Trump's billionaire and corporate tax cut, and they've decided to pay for it by gutting Medicaid - the program that insures 24% of all Americans.
The U.S. attorney for D.C. is not 'President Trump's lawyer' and its job is not to 'protect his leadership' nor prosecute people who 'refuse to put America first.'
This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.
