After much contemplation, I am officially withdrawing from the Congressional run for US Representative for MI-06. I am supporting @MattLongjohn for this seat.
Through this process I’ve found him respectful, prepared and a true fighter for the future of #Mi06.
This is a great read. The #intersection has always been a goal of the #resistance, we’re just not there yet, not until we can all see the inherent injustice and acknowledge it. https://t.co/agn6P1KZyK
Sure, Trump is lawless. Sure, he lies all the time, sabotages healthcare, bankrupts us, and betrays our allies. Sure, foreign powers help install him.
But Trump is a symptom of our apathy. We let this happen. We are woefully uninformed and we don't vote. Perhaps we deserve this.
POTUS might smear him as “human scum,” but to his friends from West Point and the Vietnam war Bill Taylor embodies the USMA cadet prayer:
“Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half truth when the whole truth can be won.”
President Trump played Prince’s “Purple Rain” tonight at a campaign event in Minneapolis despite confirming a year ago that the campaign would not use Prince’s music. The Prince Estate will never give permission to President Trump to use Prince’s songs.
@prince Dear @prince - at an event I covered this week in Goodlettsville, TN that featured @VP, “Purple Rain” was also part of the “soundtrack” before the event got started
@1a the electoral college was meant to prevent a demagogue with charisma from swaying the populace, to prevent “the mob” from controlling the process. The electoral college did not do its originally stated, due diligence to protect the people from themselves, abolish it.
@1a someone spouting the original writing of the constitution, should note that in that document Slaves were 2/3s of a person, as we have moved on from that position, so has our constitution. It is “amendable” for a reason.

@GovWhitmer before the vote on car insurance, can the people of #Michigan see the plan? Every Michigan citizen has a right to know what our lawmakers are voting on, and if we the people disagree, we should have the Opportunity, to call our reps to voice our opinions.
@MichiganDems did I hear there would be a vote on the car insurance changes today? How about releasing the plan to the public so that if the citizens disagree we can call our State Representatives and voice our opinions, BEFORE the vote.
I’m proud to cosponsor Senator Schatz’s bill to prohibit creditors and landlords from taking action against federal employees or contractors hurt by the #TrumpShutdown.
If President Trump won’t re-open government, we have to protect the workers he is leaving without a paycheck.
