I've pledged, have you? If not, why not? There can be no middle ground here. You are either ok with what's happening or you are actively resisting it. I choose the latter. #NationwideStrike #ShutItDown

NEW: I’m cosponsoring legislation to BLOCK Trump and Elon from dismantling USAID. USAID employs thousands of Americans and saves millions of lives worldwide. It was also created by Congress, and Trump and Elon have zero authority to shut it down. www.reuters.com/world/us/dem...

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Speaker Johnson is dead wrong here. Our democracy depends on a separate, equal and independent judiciary. Judges swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution, not the president.

If judges and Congress are just ignored, sooner or later, someone is going to have to lay hands on Trump and his oligarch crew and lead them away in handcuffs. It has to happen sooner or later. Sooner is much better. #3E

The Constitution. The judicial branch. Separation of powers. Checks and balances. A nation of laws. The President of this country is not a king. Please repeat.
