Here's what I told Secretary of State Marco Rubio today:
What he's done is outright illegal.
His decimation of USAID and so much else has led to senseless death and suffering, and it's left the United States weaker.
We should tear up Trump's budget and write a new one.

Historic summary of Trump foreign policies hurting millions of people, wrecking U.S. reputation abroad.
This proclamation for #DEI
🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI.
"Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements"
Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
