It’s troubling to see the U.S. moving backward. Targeting Brown communities is NOT okay. We’re better than this.
Brandon Brown believes we can get back on track — but we must confront the real issues now. It’s time for change.

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all?
I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority. This seat had been in Republican hands for 13 years. When we are organized and support strong candidates who are focused on the issues that matter, we can win. Let's keep this going.

With this victory, Democrats break the supermajority Iowa Republicans have in the State Senate.
Congratulations, Catelin!

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them.

Nancy Mace says she’s open to the tough questions — until she’s actually asked one.
Now she’s running for governor, chasing a new job after leaving behind a trail of chaos, headlines, and broken trust.

Look at all of this support! These young scholars from The Verita Schools delivered excellence and made it to the semifinals at Harvard’s international summer debate program! It's only right that their community met them with the love they earned. 🙌🏿

What happened to William McNeil Jr. should never happen during a traffic stop. He was punched, dragged, and dehumanized — not for committing a violent crime, but for asking questions. America, this treatment is far from acceptable!

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

I’m telling ya @BrownforSC is going hard at Lindsey. Please repost this ad for him and help if you want this level of anxiety applied to Lindsey the next 18 months!

I’m taking the fight directly to Lindsey Graham.
While the nation demands answers about Jeffrey Epstein, Graham—like a typical career politician—is nowhere to be found.
South Carolinians deserve to know where he stands.
That’s why we’re airing this ad on Fox News—right where he can’t ignore it.

Lindsey Graham said, “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed… and we will deserve it.” Then spent the next 8 years being Trump’s biggest cheerleader.
He’s a a career politician who only cares about himself, not South Carolinians.

I had a great afternoon in Spartanburg with the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha. Grateful for the warm welcome and inspired by the powerful civic work they’re doing across the Upstate. Keep leading the way!

It’s nice to know that our candidates for Governor don’t even know what the Governor does.
Last I checked, this still lies with the legislature. But I am happy to discuss this with you Congresswoman. As well as give you a school house rock refresher

If I were Governor, South Carolina would get to zero state income tax because your paycheck belongs to you.
South Carolina first.

Jim Carrey on Donald Trump: “We have a president who started out when the country was together and we had a wonderful leader and he is tearing us limb from limb. Destroying every institution. He’s a used car salesman. He didn’t make America great again, but he did turn back the odometer.”
