Last night in the ICU of a #NYC hospital, I cared for 20 patients who were all on breathing machines due to #COVID19. Some REALLY young (20s), without comorbidities. Everyone is extremely sick. But sicker patients keep flooding in…
It's hard not to love Oregon's vote by mail system. It's convenient and there's a paper trail. That's why I introduced a bill w/ @RonWyden that gives states the option to choose vote by mail. Let's make voting easier. RT if you agree.

How do we get 1 million peaceful protestors to #OccupyDC and chant “We’re not going to take it anymore”? Because that is what it is going to take to save the United States.
145 Black churches burned from 1995 to 1996 in a wave of attacks that led Congress to pass the Church Arson Prevention Act. The law increased the sentence for arson at houses of worship to a max of 20 years, and led to the National Church Arson Task Force.
Where is William Barr?
Trump wants to get rid of the entire ACA. Dems shld focus on this admin’s pathological greed, racism & disdain for the most vulnerable. They need rehab out of office. Our only hope for health is a movement of truth, love, justice & moral fusion that will mobilize, protest & vote.
If the media doesn’t get some language other than left vs right & start challenging those who say people fighting for healthcare, living wages & voting rights are somehow extreme, they will again be enablers to the re-election of Trump.
If Trump follows through and declares a national emergency over this manufactured crisis, it would be a gross abuse of presidential power. The real national emergency is a president who would usurp such authority in defiance of Congress to score political points.

Some keep asking what can beat Trump? He lost by over 4 million votes. He got in b/c of voter suppression swinging 80k votes in a few states. How do you beat him? Fight voter suppression, turn out votes, don’t write off any states & fight him in the South.
BREAKING: The Senate just passed a bill that would encourage states to adopt unconstitutional laws aimed at suppressing boycotts of Israel.
It's a sad day when the Senate chooses politics over the Constitution and tramples on the First Amendment rights of all Americans.

-1.5 million purged
-53k registrations on hold
-4.5 hour lines
-214 polling places closed

Voting rights will be major theme of her SOTU response

Eamon Cools-Lartigue was driving on I-85 when he was stopped for speeding. He wasn’t criminally charged, but deputies did decide to keep the $29,000 they discovered in his car, though.
