I feel so privileged to have had a chance to know and learn from Bill Pascrell. He was a great congressman, a fierce fighter for his beloved Paterson, a good man, and my personal favorite baseball batting coach ever. His memory will be a blessing.

It has become evident during convention week that Democrats are blessed with three groups of leaders. The wise first group — Hillary Clinton, the Obamas, former speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and now Biden — has guided the party for the past generation, nationally making strides

Sen. Cory Booker at the DNC honors Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell of New Jersey, 87, who died this morning: "A man who always fought for freedom. ... He's a Jersey legend. He is a powerful pugilist, a prince of Paterson."

There are 3.5 million Ukrainian, Polish, and other East European American voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

I swear he never changed a word of my first drafts. 😜

Folks, literally no one—not even Ukraine—is asking for US troops to defend Ukraine. But the majority of Americans DO say the U.S. should continue helping Ukraine liberate its territory, and they’re willing to stand with Ukraine until it wins. Source 👉 news.gallup.com/poll/643601/am…

Thank God one of our two political parties is pro-American, pro-freedom, and pro-democracy.

A federal court in Kansas just held that the Second Amendment protects machine guns.   This is insane.   storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Well said. The Democratic Party is not just the only progressive party in America. but the only conservative one -- in that we apply moral standards to our leaders, seek to preserve the Constitution, honor service and sacrifice to our country, and stand up to foreign dictators.

Occasionally my Twitter defaults to the “For You” algorithm that the company wants us to use. This was the first thing it served up today.

Trump broke the law by filming and distributing a campaign commercial in Arlington National Cemetery — then blamed it on Gold Star families. Reality check: Trump’s campaign put out the video on TikTok.

Trump suggests he will lift US sanctions on Russia and Iran if he wins
