We are Americans. We’re the most powerful nation on the planet. What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak. What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted. What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Trump is a fountain of lies about USAID. His latest, about payments to consultants for ESG, is equally false and refers to a program he started in his first term. All these lies are a way for rich men to justify ending programs that save lives of poor kids. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country. These Americans are in real danger.

I'm hearing from experts around the world about the "global health massacre" caused by the Trump/Musk destruction of USAID. Millions of malnourished children left to starve. Babies with neural tube defects. Surveillance against bird flu set back.All this kills children just as wonderful as our own.

It's popular to say in the Opposition that we have to be strategic and pick our fights. I have pretty much the opposite view. Fight for what you care about, some of those fights won't get much support and will fade out, but you don't know ahead of time. And some issues will unexpectedly take off.

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

We need a Labor Secretary who will be a champion of working families. We need a Labor Secretary who will raise the minimum wage and vigorously defend workers' right to bargain collectively. We need a Labor Secretary who has the courage to stand up to an anti-worker POTUS.
