I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

Trump just pulled Elise Stefanik’s nomination for UN Ambassador because he’s worried about her district flipping blue in a special election. Her district voted for Trump by 20%. They know how deeply unpopular they have become.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

This man is out of control. It's clearly going to take a judge putting him in cuffs for him to understand even the most basic operations of the United States government. All must understand that it's not OK for an executive branch official to say this, not OK to act like this, not OK whatsoever.

Trump targeted the legacy media. Its owners paid for the privilege. Trump targeted Mitch McConnell. His Republican Senate colleagues did nothing. Trump targeted lawyers and law firms. The biggest, most prestigious firms looked away.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.
