Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Europe needs 300,000 new soldiers, 1,400 new tanks & 4% of GDP on defense to defend itself without the US. That’s why Europeans need to keep 🇺🇸 engaged by stepping up their own commitment now. Fascinating study from @guntramwolff.bsky.social @bruegel.bsky.social www.bruegel.org/analysis/def...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
