@abood_cynthia I absolutely denounced the threats and violence against the president. Denouncing that shouldn’t be partisan nor should denouncing this.
This is reprehensible, hateful, and, simply, unacceptable. Our world is lucky to have Pete and Chasten, their family, and their collective love for one another in it.
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT
President Obama on the day of the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling:
The Supreme Court has reaffirmed that all Americans are entitled to the equal protection of the law, regardless of who they are or who they love. This ruling is a victory for America. This decision affirms what millions of Americans already believe in their hearts: When all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free.
It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
I am thrilled to share that my office has received the Congressional Management Foundation's Best of Constituent Service Award!
When we set out to build this office, we made a commitment to ensure that every Delawarean who reached out for help would be met with urgency, compassion, and persistence — and our Constituent Advocacy team works each day to deliver on that promise. We are eager to continue providing high-quality constituent services across our state of neighbors.
I'm thrilled to have the endorsement of my friend @PeteButtigieg in my reelection campaign for Congress, and I'm grateful for his support as we continue working to build a government that works for all Americans.
Like Pete said, progress can’t happen on its own. Meaningful change can only happen when we work together, and that’s exactly what I’m committed to doing for Delaware.
Let's get to work!
PabloReports: What do you make of Trump not signing the housing bill and canceling the ceremony?
McBride: He’s having a temper tantrum. This reinforces that the top priorities of the Republican Party and Donald Trump are needless culture wars, not actually lowering the cost of living. He is holding hostage the first meaningful housing bill to pass in decades because he is obsessed with his big lie and his buffet of culture-war issues. Deeply unserious, but it’s a reflection of what the Republican Party has become.
PabloReports: Do you think a reset is possible with Israel while Netanyahu is still PM?
McBride: Absolutely not. Netanyahu is a dangerous anti-democratic leader who I believe has violated international law, and I think people around the world are hoping and praying that he’s out of power shortly.
Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others and see government as nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils and punish enemies, and keep those who are different in their place. I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end.
Michelle Obama: Not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you… the claims that a U.S. Senator and constitutional law expert wasn't qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.
McBride visited all 57 Delaware towns and cities (seriously, that's how many have official status) for the launch.
"If you believe that working people deserve a fair deal and that freedom is good; if you want lower costs and no more wars, welcome to our cause."
That’s a wrap on 57 in 57! Thanks to all the neighbors who joined us on this incredible adventure.
I’m as energized as ever to build a campaign that leaves no Delawarean behind. And I’ll hope you’ll join me: https://t.co/11GYLgogyh
