We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."

I used to clean floors and bathrooms for a living, for years. No insurance, trying to make ends meet. I know what it’s like to work hard and feel like I'm falling behind. I’ve stood in grocery aisles doing the math, hoping I had enough to cover the cart. newrepublic.com/article/1920...

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech." This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.
