Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.
1/ Here it is - in one🧵
Jennifer Welch: “What happened in New York last night are the citizens standing up against corporations, against fascism, against MAGA, against corporate Democrats, against establishment Democrats, and this is hopefully going to sweep the entire country. Not wanting to fund a country that intentionally targets children is not radical in the least. It is radical, homicidal, and genocidal to kill kids and then to call the people who oppose that antisemitic assholes. This is the biggest bunch of gaslighting fuckery on the planet”
Wow. Donald Trump is holding affordable housing hostage until Congress passes his voter suppression bill.
He is literally delaying help for families struggling to afford a home in order to make it harder for married women and Black Americans to vote.
He is a sick man!
What a night in NYC!
First, I want to deeply thank the people of NY14, who supported my re-election with 87% of the vote - the highest in my history of public service.
It is a tremendous honor and responsibility to be your Congresswoman, and I never take it for granted.
It will be at least 40 years before our loved and lovely America recovers from the wounds this selfish, stupid, and ego-driven man has inflicted. That it will recover seems certain to me, but it will leave scars.
Rachel Maddow: “Right now the opposition to President Donald Trump is ascendent. Trump is flailing in ways that are obvious to everyone. He’s a laughingstock and his policies are failing and being abandoned and his supporters are fleeing”
“My heart is heavy with the loss of my friend Clive Davis.
For fifty years we worked together, created together, argued together, and celebrated together.
Yes, some would say it was business.
But to Clive, it never was.
It was family.
And I was honored to be a part of his.
Thank you Clive.
I wish we could do it all again.”

Clive Davis, the music executive who founded Arista Records and J Records and helped shape the careers of Whitney Houston, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Carlos Santana, Janis Joplin, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood and many others, has died at age 94. https://t.co/JFYUfIi0gE
“And when a judge forced his name off a murdered president’s memorial, he left the building draped in white tarps, obscuring Kennedy’s name so that nobody can see it either, because if the public can’t see Trump’s name, then they won’t see anyone’s…”

Sending love to Heaven on Father’s Day to the two most important men in my life, my dad, Frank Sinatra, and Hugh Lambert, the father of my children. I miss them both beyond words, and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of them.
If you’re fortunate enough to still have your dad, give him a hug. If you can’t be with him today, pick up the phone and call him. Try not to let petty grievances keep you apart, because one day he will be gone, and all you will have left are memories.
Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father figures who make a difference in the lives of those they love. 💙
It’s June 20th, so that means it’s birthday time for Tina! 🎉
Happy, HAPPY birthday to my favorite little sister! 😉 Today is all about celebrating you and the joy you bring to everyone around you. No matter how many birthdays come and go, you’ll always be my lil’ sis and one of my favorite people in the world.
I love you so much, Tina. Have the most amazing birthday! 🎈✨💕🎂

Of all the jobs I’ve had—Governor, Attorney General, HUD Secretary—my two favorite roles in life will always be father and son.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there today.
The Lessons I Learned from My Dad
I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.
Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.
I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.
I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.
I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.
Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.
That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.
If Kamala Harris had become president of the United States, Trump would be in prison, the strait of Hormuz would be open, Ukraine would be victorious, gas would be under $3 a gallon, and the U.S. would STILL be respected and supported around the world.
Rosie O’Donnell on Trump: “He’s getting worse by the day. According to some medical experts he’s had a series of strokes. He’s a diaper wearing 80-year-old man who is in a very serious health crisis and if you don’t see that with your own eyes you have willful blindness”
