I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

When politicians hurt their constituents they’re not conducting the People’s business but attending to their own. They must be removed from power, we need governance not tyranny.

It seems an estimated 3.5 million people turned out today. I have not heard of a single police officer being threatened. No national or state capitol building was attacked. This was just "We The People," reminding a nation what democracy looks like. Well done, and godspeed. #HandsOff

Amazing work today, everyone! Today’s protest was a success—two MAGA individuals were arrested for assaulting peaceful protestors, and three additional investigations are currently underway. We’ve also launched a new task force to investigate any incidents.

My office has gotten hundreds of calls about the recent efforts in Washington to attack our Social Security & healthcare. And it was a hot topic at my last in-person town hall. So let’s keep the conversation going as I continue to take a stand against any cuts to these hard-earned benefits. (1/2)

When Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions. Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars — working class Americans will. It's crony capitalism at its worst.
