I hope y’all had a Merry Christmas with your family and friends.
I just finished whooping my little brother in some backyard football. Some traditions never change.
Britany Jacobs did not know that she was pregnant w/Markeis McGlockton’s child when his killer claimed “stand your ground” and took his life. Help Britany give her children a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year despite not having their Father. https://t.co/NiPk5LpaLI
There are a million reasons why $5B for a wall is a ludicrous demand to shut down the government over.
But here’s maybe the best one: the 2017/2018 budgets gave Trump billions for border upgrades. He’s spent ALMOST NONE of it. 6%.
How about spending the money you have first?
Trump tonight tweeted that he doesn't know who Brett McGurk is, the U.S. envoy to the coalition fighting the Islamic State.
McGurk has literally been the American leading the fight against ISIS.
Where would they build the wall? Whose home or ranch or farm are they going to take to build it? Which communities and habitats are they going to destroy? Reply with your best pictures of the border - let the rest of the country see what’s at stake.
It's the anniversary of the GOP tax bill. The President called it “a bill for the middle class.”
So how's it going?
U.S. companies announced over $400bn in stock buybacks.
The Dow is down 2000 points.
GM is laying off 14,000 workers.
And your pay raise was lost in the mail.
Old enough to remember the time in 2018 when Trump/Ryan/McConnell shut down the government because we couldn’t afford $3.4B for health care for low-income kids. But please, lecture us about how spending $5B on an ineffective wall is in our national interest. #TrumpShutdown
GOP & @realDonaldTrump aren’t only shutting down the government tonight, they’re allowing the Violence Against Women Act to expire and leaving survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault without critical, lifesaving resources. Shameful.
HISTORIC NEWS: the anti-lynching bill I introduced with @CoryBooker & @SenatorTimScott just passed the Senate unanimously. Congress has tried and failed nearly 200 times to make lynching a federal crime.
Appreciate @LeonVotes following the will of voters by beginning registration of former non-violent felons on January 8, 2019, as the Florida Constitution now requires.
All Supervisors of Elections in Florida should do the same.
People are dying for existing. Children are killing themselves after being bullied for living their truth. Really, what does equality look like to you, if your activism is not inclusive?
UNREAL! The amendment is clear @RonDeSantisFL and so are our Florida voters who voted for Amendment 4! We must restore the rights of 1.4M Floridians; stop dragging your feet! #sayfie#flapol https://t.co/DjtGwnuChp
We've seen this movie before.
They don't want to restore voting rights.
...or implement medical cannabis.
...or fair districts.
...or environmental funding.
When YOU pass constitutional amendments,
the @FloridaGOP looks for ways to get around it.

One month ago, #Duval went blue for the first time in a generation.
Tonight, the volunteers who made it happen for @AndrewGillum made it clear: they’re ready to keep fighting.
