It is murder #GOP#Republicans are murderers. They murder children. They claim to love women & their children but they murder them instead. They do it in the name of Jesus & America & Conservatism & Guns. I will never forgive them for making the murder of children "normal life."
Border agents have thrown out 3586 jugs of water left for migrants in the desert.
They did this knowing that 7000 migrants have died attempting to cross.
THIS is why the death of Jackeline Caal, the 7yo migrant who died of thirst in US custody, should be referred to as murder.
Trump’s rationale for believing Putin when he said Russia didn’t interfere in US elections:
“If Russians *had* interfered, they would’ve been *too smart* to have been caught by US Intelligence.”
So he’s not only siding against US Intelligence — He’s calling them stupid too.
We at the House are doing *our* job passing bills reopen government, so why won’t @senatemajldr do his?
We left to drop off letters to:
- His Sen Majority Leader office
- The GOP cloak room
- The Senate floor
- His Senate office
And he’s nowhere to be found. #WheresMitch?
The moment Russia and Assad took over patrolling Manbij on Trumps go ahead we get hit with suicide bombers for the first time. It’s possible Russia/Assad let the attack happen. Trump’s treachery on this matter now kills our special operators. #RussianAsset.
The person Donald Trump has nominated to lead the Environmental Protection Agency doesn't believe climate change is a "crisis." That is not only a disgrace, it is incredibly dangerous to the future of our planet.
That is definitely Chuck Johnson. And that means a day after allegedly condemning white supremacy & Steve King on the House floor, some Republicans are walking into the House with.... a Holocaust-denying white supremacist. Fucking amazing.
Intuitively, we all know this. There was no other way for the Orange #Traitor to ascend to 45. The millionaires in my family, who all voted for him, and the Evangelicals all said the same thing about why: MONEY & POWER.
#Democrats#Socialists and #Progressives will reveal & fix.
You'll be amazed when you learn how many *very* powerful men were simultaneously working for Russia *and* Saudi Arabia/UAE to get Trump elected.
Illegal donations. Bribery. Money laundering. Worse.
This is a *dark* story—I'm now writing it in 500 pages and I feel *gross* daily.
Yesterday’s 277 page federal court decisions establishes, with devastating rigor, how Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross lied repeatedly to Congress to cover up his political scheme to manipulate the 2020 Census.
That is a crime.

If Trump now reopens Govt, he visibly surrenders to Pelosi.
If Trump keeps Govt closed, he bleeds support faster. Workers miss next paycheck, air travel delays, govt services fail, and economy stalls.
Trump built the trap and walked into it. Pelosi just locked it behind him.
Congratulations to @RashidaTlaib for earning a seat on the Financial Services committee.
Now our movement has a voice to take on the greed and recklessness on Wall Street. We'll fight to protect tenants & families from evictions. We'll stop them from plundering our communities.
I want to be very clear about how successful the work of grassroots organizers and activists have been in helping Progressives secure appointments to the powerful Financial Services Committee.
It starts, as w/ many amazing developments, w/ everyday people paying attention.
In 35 states and the District of Columbia, the cost of childcare for a family with 2 kids costs more than the average mortgage payment. That is absurd. We need high-quality, universal childcare for all working families in this country.

We have secured enough Republican votes in the Senate to reopen government.
Our obstacle now is Mitch McConnell, who won’t call the vote for what seems like 2 reasons:
1. He won’t operate independently of Trump
2. He’s putting his own re-election ahead of 800,000 working people
Schumer: "Open the government. You can do it, Leader McConnell. And all your blaming and flailing isn't going to open the government. We all know Donald Trump is the obstacle here ... You're losing the argument. You're losing it with the public." Via ABC
Right now the President is more interested in photo-ops than getting people their paychecks.
I’m proud of my colleagues for staying strong despite his bad-faith offer after he threw a temper tantrum at @SpeakerPelosi.
He should reopen government and introduce his wall then.
A few years ago, Medicare for All was considered an unrealistic policy. Now 70 percent of Americans are in support.
@NYCMayor has also announced that New York City will be guaranteeing healthcare to every resident.
The tide is turning.
Dear @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell:
Airport security is not optional.
The Coast Guard is not optional.
Stop playing games with people’s lives.
#EndTheShutdown now.
I’m uneasy about it too. It’s stressful & scary, but it’s also out of my control, so the best thing I can do is try to focus that attention on the most urgent issues of our time: climate change, good gov, jobs, wages, justice; and highlight the contradictions you explain here.
