As I’ve said since the beginning:
These people will never stop trying to despoil our public lands.
Nothing is sacred to them. They’d put an oil derrick in the Yosemite Valley if they thought it would make them an extra $1000.
The GOP has to be stopped.

Threatening our #NATO allies with invasion. Refusing to use the power of #Congress to curb the President’s war in #Venezuela.
GOP policy is just “my dad can beat up your dad, so you should let him do whatever he wants to you” forever.
Disgusting and un-American.

Members of Congress have many tools to hold the White House and its minions accountable. I am proud to stand with @crow.house.gov as he does exactly that. This is the aggressive and creative leadership we need to get our country back.
Congress has an obligation—and a legal right—to conduct oversight of federal facilities.
Trump, Kristi Noem, and this administration are breaking the law to avoid accountability.
I’m taking them to court.

NATO is the most successful defensive pact in history. Former Soviet republics joined it for a reason: Russia is an aggressive threat to them. Putin wants to destroy NATO for this very reason.
Everything this administration does is an act of self-immolation of U.S. interests.

The U.S. State Department is urging U.S. citizens to leave Venezuela immediately due to security concerns.
The State Department is advising Americans to remain hyper-vigilant about their surroundings, as armed militias are reportedly setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles.

The Trump Administration is destroying so much of our country, and doing so illegally.
But when we win in the midterms, it won’t be enough just to fight back against the GOP.
We also have to build a better future at the same time.
Doing both will require the right people. That’s why I’m running.

Trump’s renewed focus on Greenland will not satiate his hunger for new territory.
It is not too alarmist to think he may try his “Canada/Mexico 51st State” nonsense again.
He has committed many crimes, but attacking and subjugating allies would rank among the worst possible.
