Proud to join Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social and Ambassador Sørensen to sign a new partnership between California and Denmark. Our message to the rest of the world is clear: California is a stable, reliable partner — no matter who's in the White House.

While Trump plays games with tariffs and trade wars, millions of hardworking Americans are worried about their retirement savings, their job security, and what the price of groceries and clothes might be this month. These actions are reckless and causing real stress & harm.

This is what happens when people speak up.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

“Our members’ right to retire with dignity and grace after decades of service to families and communities is paramount." - @rweingarten.bsky.social Read more on why we're calling on chief fiduciary officers to examine investments in Tesla.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll be highlighting the advocates and everyday Americans from across the country whose stories helped make the Affordable Care Act a reality. Take a listen to some of those stories:

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

It's impossible to keep up with all the craziness that's going on these days. That's why I'm starting a Substack. So you don't have to read and watch everything – just The Schiff Notes. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

The Golden Age? Sadly, all we are seeing is red.

Tariffs are on. Tariffs are off. Tariffs are on. Tariffs are off. Trump’s vacillation and the chaos it creates assure only one thing: The economy is off.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss! Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Right now we’re seeing firefighters fired and aid to damaged communities threatened. That’s abhorrent. I hope Captain Culliver’s presence will remind my colleagues who these heroes are, and the sacrifices they make for all of us. And why we must stand with them. Always.

Public schools are the foundation of our communities, but they’re under attack. The Trump admin's plan to gut education funding & dismantle the Department of Education threatens millions of students. Take a stand on March 4 to protect our kids and fight for the schools they deserve. #ProtectOurKids

Today, I discuss two topics (and three more tomorrow!) TODAY, MARCH 3RD: 1. (Public) The poor treatment of federal employees and what can be done about it. 2. (Paid) How to Stop Elon Musk? —Breaking down the legal battles and challenges ahead.

I think this was my favorite photo from Vermont this weekend.

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union. I disagree. They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber. It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

The latest news from Burlington, Vermont. 😄🇺🇦

He skis like shit.

Here’s how the $300B in Russian sovereign funds frozen in Europe can still be used to give Zelensky the cards Trump told him he didn’t have in that vomitous Oval Office display by Putin’s puppets, our president and his agent provocateur Vance www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Holy smokes. The Mail, a staunchly RIGHT-WING newspaper in the UK, slammed”‘bully” Trump and called for his state visit to be cancelled. Trump is now the laughingstock of the entire world.

If only Congress had the ability to do something about this…

#rubio

Governor Josh Shapiro: He has demonstrated nothing but weakness when it comes to national security over the course of his first month in office.

Get em Eric!!! @ericswalwell.bsky.social

Pretty much sums it up

No one knows the Russians the way Ukrainians know Russians. There’s a thousand years of history between them. For hundreds of years, Ukraine has been fending off Russian political and cultural domination.

What we witnessed today may be Donald Trump – but it is not America. This is not who we are.

Strong words from Bret Stephens: “Roosevelt and Reagan must be spinning in their graves, as are Churchill and Thatcher. It’s up to the rest of us to reclaim America’s honor from the gangsters who besmirched it in the White House.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

A maximum display of ignorance and malice from Vance today.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

There was only one person acting presidential in the Oval Office today: Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He stood up to bullies in a Kremlin-style shakedown. What will it take to awaken the conscience of the country after such a shameful display?

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.
