🚨Trump is ripping away taxpayer dollars from blue states like mine for critical Army Corps projects that support foundational water infrastructure. He is defunding the Howard Hanson Dam to the tune of nearly HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. This is some corrupt BS. I'm fighting back.

We refuse to let Trump divide us with hate. We will stand up to his authoritarian and illegal acts, defend the rule of law, and protect our immigrant communities — together.

And, to be clear, with Trump's FEMA the "disaster-response plan" will be blaming Joe Biden for whatever goes wrong.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

Trump's first-term corruption seemed huge, but it's already been dwarfed by the ongoing, unchecked festival of domestic and foreign corruption four months into in his second term. Blame the Supreme Court and the Republican Congress. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-unqu...

Pretty clear from orals Trump will lose at the Supreme Court on birth right citizenship. What’s gross is that both Thomas and Alito will vote to end birthright citizenship and still claim to be strict constructionists.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

Pete Buttigieg: A Servicemember “who happens to be transgender... ought to be honored and not kicked out of the military.” Meanwhile, Trump—who dodged service—spends his time attacking those who actually wear the uniform. A coward lashing out at those who show the courage he never had.

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

Trump is not a king, and he cannot undo a Constitutional Amendment with the stroke of a pen. The 14th Amendment is clear: if you are born on American soil, even to undocumented parents, you are a U.S. citizen. Birthright citizenship is the law and it must stay that way.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
