Despite being under Republican control, the House just defied President Trump on the Iran war.
No amount of lying or bullying by the White House can make Americans forget we're paying for a senseless war.
Now even some GOP Members of Congress are recognizing they ultimately answer to us - not him.
Keep up the pressure.
@MollyJongFast@ScottPelley That the person who chose to marry Stephen Miller could possibly think anyone would want to hear her advice on anything is insane.
Dear @ScottPelley
Thank you.
Thank you for standing up when it was inconvenient.
Thank you for standing up when it cost you a job you loved.
Thank you for standing up to power and for trying to save a landmark news program.
Thank you for your INTEGRITY.
I am not making this up: Secretary Rubio actually sat before Congress today and said “the war is over.”
It’s a bizarre lie to tell when Americans know there’s obviously a war underway - not just from seeing it on screens, but from paying its costs every day at home.
Leaders with this little respect for the American people have no business in office.
I wish @CNN would have the guts to make a documentary about the Jan 6 people Donald Trump pardoned and the crimes they committed or planned AFTER being pardoned. It is a shocking list for anyone who researches this.
Last night, @bradlander’s lying hit a new low when he posted a doctored video of me from our debate to deceive voters.
That in and of itself is disqualifying, but there’s more. This morning, we woke up to a NYT article revealing that Brad has welcomed dark money into his campaign.
New Yorkers deserve an honest representative in Congress.
The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.
When a billionaire who destroyed half his businesses, two marriages, every relationship, most friends, FDA, CDC, FBI, the white house, the constitution, world peace, the English language, and his cankles, says it will all work out in the end... he means for him, not you.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.
