The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Transportation are illegally forcing states to comply with the administration’s immigration policies or give up billions of dollars in funding for disaster relief and transportation. I’m suing to stop this unlawful overreach.

The mere notion that the President would cravenly accept a $400 million attempt to win favor from a foreign power is beyond the pale and reeks of corruption. I’m joining Senator Schatz to reaffirm what our Constitution makes clear – no President should receive gifts from a foreign power.

Only a fool would think that a $400 million gift comes without strings attached. But considering that this fool thinks that tariffs are paid by the country or companies on which the tariff is assessed, I really shouldn't be surprised.

The GOP says they’re going after “fraud and abuse” in Medicaid, but what they’re really doing is cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from a program that delivers care to the poorest Americans.

And if Republicans cut millions from Medicaid and then turn around and approve millions of dollars be spent on making that $400 million plane from Qatar secure for Trump's use, WE will not accept this deal. We will use our votes to cancel this corrupt transaction. We must restore democracy now!

I am sure that Sen. Paul knows that what Trump should do is very different from what Trump will do. I just hope that Congress will do what they should do and not let this serial offender of our Constitution get away with this outrageous violation of the emoluments clause.

Are we the American people really as ignorant as Trump thinks we are? Taking a $400 million plane from a foreign country is not a violation of the Constitution and a security threat because AG Bondi, a former lobbyist for that country, says it is "ok." No flying palace for Donny Two Dolls.
