“We’re here peacefully protesting, looking as ridiculous as we can, just so maybe we appeal to the president because he’s a ridiculous leader that is normalizing abuse of power. And we cannot stand and act like nothing is happening.” 🦄

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer.

Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime.

Guess how many times Republicans have tried to negotiate with Democrats to save health care? None. Zero. Not once.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than lower health care costs.

If Republicans don’t hold DHS accountable for its unlawful actions, we will. That’s why I joined Rep. Jayapal in a shadow hearing to bring attention to the Trump administration’s kidnapping and disappearance of immigrants.
