Donald Trump is using antisemitism as his excuse for targeting our universities. He has his own history that belies this concern.

Patriotism means standing up for our democracy and constitutional protections. This is imperative to slow this authoritarianism.

Donald Trump is far more interested in making money from the Presidency than he is in serving the American people.

Horrified by the terror attack against peaceful protesters in Boulder, Colorado. My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones in the wake of this unspeakable tragedy. Hate of any kind has no place in our country. This vicious antisemitism has to stop.

My thoughts are with our Jewish neighbors after another horrifying antisemitic attack, this time in Boulder. Hate has no place in our country.

Planned Parenthood provides vital healthcare services for American women. The GOP wants to end all federal funding. This will result in more preventable illness and deaths for women.

The great Presidents believed in education. Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia. Now Donald Trump is waging war on higher education and the research which will promote progress for our nation. Why?

Given the disgraceful treatment of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa by President Trump in the WH, it is only appropriate that we take 3 mins to listen to an excerpt of Pres Ramaphosa’s recent remarks to his Natl Assembly explaining the country’s Black Economic Empowerment Program. Brilliant.

Trump is not making America great again. He is waging war on the knowledge and science that made us a great country.

Donald Trump’s cuts in medical and scientific research will destroy progress in these fields and the industries that resulted. His war against Harvard reflects this. The US has 40% of the Nobel Prize winners because they studied and did research here. This is such stupid policy.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Charlie Rangel. A founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. A fearless fighter for Harlem. A decorated veteran who never stopped serving the people.

Canada only spends 2% of what we spend on our elections here. That’s literally ONE Presidential fundraiser. It’s got to stop!! I want America to do better. When we throw out these useless Republican sock puppets, we will change the law and get money out of politics!

Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.

My career in foreign policy reminds me daily that our freedoms-the ability to debate, dissent, to build a more perfect union- were secured by those who paid the ultimate price. We honor them with our commitment to democracy & peace. Happy #MemorialDay Join me LIVE on @msnbc.com today 12PM EST

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

Trump’s corruption from his crypto dinners to his $400 million dollar plane is plain as day. The Democrats need to speak out about this every day. It is the largest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

George Floyd was murdered on this day five years ago. Despite massive protests over racial injustice, police killings are sadly on the rise. Instead of pouring more funds into our brutal system of policing, let's invest in communities. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Donald Trump vengeance tour against Harvard continues, but a federal judge just issued an injunction preventing his order banning foreign students. He wants a less educated America. He said he loves “the poorly educated.” I guess he doesn’t want students to be smarter than him.

As Budget Chair I got constant Republican lectures to ignore looming climate disaster because of the debt. “The debt, the debt, the DEBT!!” Now they’re in charge and they’re hiking debt limit $4 trillion for tax breaks, mostly to the richest. What a sham.

By a one vote margin the House GOP voted for a bill that will increase hunger and poverty and worsen healthcare for millions of Americans including seniors with the cuts in Medicare. All to enrich their campaign donors.

Judge Murphy: the removals “obviously” violated his prior order. He said the government notified seven immigrants — from Mexico, Cuba, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam — the day before they were deported that they would be sent to South Sudan, which is on the brink of civil war. wapo.st/4k7T6FS.

Joe Biden is a good and decent man. His Presidency was a triumph for meaningful legislation to improve the lives of the many Americans. He and his family deserve peace during this difficult time.
