Deeply saddened that heroic National Guard Spc. Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia has died.

Praying for her family and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe as he valiantly battles for his life.

Together we must find a way to better protect those patriots who bravely defend and serve our nation.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
Trump Sued Me. I Fought and Won.

A country where the president can ask election officials to 'find' another 11,780 votes and not be prosecuted, while citizens are brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights is not a nation of laws.
THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

Men and Women of the military you are obligated by your oath to defend our Constitution to not follow unlawful orders issued by ANYONE and that includes an insane president.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.

This is not hoarding, you can call it collecting or just plain sustainable economy.
When the ultra-rich keep piling million upon million (or, in extreme cases, billion ...) without giving anything away just like Smaug in The Hobbit - that's hoarding.

My father retired in 1978, and got a beautiful gold Hamilton watch from his employer - when they still did that sort of thing. And when Hamilton was an American company.

I still have it. And it still runs perfectly. And I don't need batteries or an internet connection to know what time it is.

How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

The DC Guard deployment was found to be unlawful days ago, and now 500 more troops are being sent in. These are the illegal orders Democrats in Congress warned about. Soldiers should not be risking their lives for a madman who uses them as political pawns.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state.

When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person.

Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

Straight-up sociopath.

Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Here’s something most people don’t realize: Because Senator Mark Kelly is an active member of Congress, he cannot legally be recalled to active military status. The Incompatibility Clause of the US Constitution states that....1/2

Now is the time for Democrats to release another video on US service members refusing to follow illegal orders.

Don’t let them put you on the defense. Double down and go on the offense.

Start with "Why would someone get angry at reminders to obey the law unless they were planning to break the law, or have already broken it?"

I'm not saying that throwing David Sacks into a volcano would prevent a recession. I'm just saying we haven't ruled that out yet.
James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.
