Worth watching this chilling account from Amb. Samantha Power about Elon Musk & Trump ignoring evidence in plain sight that destroying USAID would lead to deaths around the world: “There was no regard for human lives at stake.”
Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. took four months off from Congress, fully paid, to treat depression. Time and again, he’s voted against paid sick leave legislation.
What a goddamn hypocrite. 😡

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which HE stands by the country."
--Theodore Roosevelt
Do you know how I know the birthright citizenship amendment wasn't meant to exclude "illegal immigrants?" There were no "illegal immigrants" in 1868 when the 14th Amendment became law. The first law restricting immigration into America was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
Bernie Sanders: “We must take on Trump who is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States. He is working for his fellow oligarchs. He does not believe in the Constitution or the Rule of Law. He lies all the time. He has gotten us into a horrible war in Iran and on and on”
Birthright citizenship is more than a law...it is a promise that if you are born here, you belong here.
On the eve of America's 250th birthday, may we always keep this promise: "We The People" means all of us.
Shout out to E. Jean Carroll after hearing that SCOTUS declined Trump’s appeal, leaving intact the $5M verdict against him for raping and defaming her.
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
Letterman: Mrs. Obama and Mr. Obama… oh my god speeches one actually listens to, speeches that consume you, that get inside you and cause you to think and feel like a lowly, worthless human being who has to strive to greatness. It's an amazing afternoon, and I'm going to shut up here in a minute because my nose is running.
Most people will only see the spin around Trump’s $1.8b settlement fund. But once you walk through the timeline, the level of corruption becomes impossible to dismiss. Read this one all the way through. https://t.co/AN0OdwqDh2
