NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL! I am an American. I am free. And if you are in this country right now, you are free. But these days i worry that when i wake up tomorrow what i took for granted will no longer be true. Seems impossible. But i cannot be naive. I will fight for my/our country.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

I don't believe most (reasonable) people are looking to our democratic leaders for solutions in this moment but rather they are looking for hope. I have talked to thousands of people who are scared... and all are looking for assurance that we will be ok... EVENTUALLY. Its why I'm out here fighting

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

I just introduced an amendment that stops the Republican plans to pay for their massive tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of working Americans. Predictably, Republicans are outraged—because nothing makes them angrier than the idea of billionaires paying their fair share.
