I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I had to drive my parents 200 miles to a Social Security office, but at least I know that immigrants are getting sent to torture prisons in El Salvador.

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Proud to stand with members of the Congressional Black Caucus as we highlight the devastating impact Republican cuts to Social Security will have on Black families nationwide. Together, we’ll keep fighting to protect these hard-earned benefits from being ripped away by Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Speaker Johnson tried to block a bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns. He failed. Now he canceled votes for the rest of the week to delay a vote on this resolution. Why is Speaker Johnson so against supporting our families?

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

Authoritarians depend on you obeying in advance and not resisting. Every act of disruption weakens them and slows down their plan. It's a crack. The cracks add up. This is why what Cory Booker is doing is important compared to the weak complicity of Schumer and others.

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please SHARE!

I could not be prouder of this Georgetown University Law Center student group. They were invited to an exclusive recruiting event with Skadden and withdrew because of Skadden’s preemptive capitulation to the Trump regime. Alanna, Caleb, and Carly were all students of mine.

Marine Le Pen, the French far-right leader, has been convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to 4 years in prison. She has been barred from running for public office for 5 years. Bravo, France for doing what the U.S. could not! 🇫🇷

Republicans will illegally destroy a humanitarian aid agency just to own the libs. It takes a lot of MAGA brainwashing to celebrate aid cancellations that will cause thousands to die from AIDS, malaria, and Ebola while making the US more vulnerable to epidemics, refugee crises, and terrorism.

Trump is threatening to bomb Iran if it doesn't make a nuclear deal that Trump previously pulled the US out of in 2018. This is like the tariff war but Trump gets to directly murder civilians as he flip flops and does Israel's bidding in the region. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

As president, I know how valuable it is for seniors to keep up with regular exercise. That's why I'm closing many Social Security offices and requiring seniors on Social Security to bicycle a minimum of 40 miles to receive their payments and to prove with Real ID that they are entitled to them.

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties. The Trump admin is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process. This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms — and we will push back.
