The year after Trump’s last tax giveaway, Amazon paid $0 in federal income taxes, while the typical Boston public school teacher paid about $10,000.
I asked Senate Republicans: Can we agree that no billionaire corporation should get another tax handout?
Republicans voted no.

The reason I have been unwaveringly NeverTrump from the beginning is it’s always been obvious to me that Trump is a bad person whose personal values are fundamentally at odds with the values of American liberal democracy. Not a flawed person, as we all are. But a bad person.

What an inspiring day of nonviolent civil resistance.
As out-of-touch universities and elite law firms cower to protect their bottom lines, MILLIONS of everyday Americans are rising to protect their communities from tyranny. And we won’t stop until we’re all free.

It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza.
No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.
That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.
Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.
The US must end its complicity.
Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.
