You may find him.

I understand he works that way.

But he may have questions about your taking away the food, heating assistance and healthcare of the least of these. And the way you have treated the stranger.

Himes: I heard President Trump say that people are richer and better and bigger than ever before. I don't know who he was talking about. Maybe he was talking about Ivanka. Maybe he was talking about Jared. Maybe he was talking about his billionaire cabinet members, but you know what, he wasn't talking about us.

I’ve never missed a #SOTU. But I’m sick of Trump’s lies, boasts and attacks on our democracy. This Tuesday, I’ll be at the People’s State of the Union with @MoveOn and @MeidasTouch, standing up for healthcare, affordability and decency.

Some friendly reminders as we head into GOTV weekend:

1. Don't forget to remove people who have already voted from your list— focus your efforts on those who haven't yet!

2. Take a moment to eat real meals — field office snacks don't count.

3. Touch grass — go outside for a second for some fresh air and sunshine.

Happy GOTV!

Knock, knock ✊

Who's there❓

Street View — now accessible through MiniVAN. 🏘️

Find that door easier than ever before — then knock it, log it, and move to the next one.

🇺🇸 Enjoy your big day!

Honestly...

@FrankLuntz @elonmusk What the hell happened to you Frank? Musk fell hugely short of his goals, achieved negligible savings, and is responsible for thousands of deaths and suffering in Africa and elsewhere.

Good for him, maybe. But not good for ANYONE else.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

You guys can't help but break shit, huh?

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. https://t.co/P7CcCnFTk1

It appears that Trump’s Liz Truss lasted exactly 0.7 Scaramuccis.

Huge Hands Off rallies in Greenwich, Stamford and Westport.

The people of this country will abide no kings.

Things we have been liberated from:

Planned retirements
Contributions to our kids’ education
Stable pensions
Markets for our farm goods
Reasonably priced automobiles
Full employment

What else?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Wow -- Jim Himes during a heated exchange with Will Cain on Fox News: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage ... it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots of sunken ships right now ... it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop this."

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

👀 You have got to be kidding me.

In case after case after case we are turning back Elon Musk’s and Donald Trump’s illegal behavior.

These are VA employees, food inspectors and people who track tornadoes and keep air travel safe.

Glad you asked. Since February 24, 1803.

[no context the west wing @LemonLymancom]

just replace the word "inflation" with "tariff"

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

I’m just left wondering how folks would have felt if Joe Biden illegally forced the government to stop fulfilling its obligations (as determined by laws passed by Congress) so that he could choose which of those obligations don’t align with his personal ideology.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Himes: You have two choices when people on your side do things that are wrong. 

You can call them out, you can stand with principle, and you can be clear. That's what leaders do. 

Or you can obfuscate and try to change history, try to suggest that what we all saw and experienced, traumatically, wasn't what we all saw and experienced. You can make stuff up, like maybe the F.B.I. Instigated it. Maybe it was really Nancy Pelosi's responsibility. Maybe it was antifa. Oh, gosh, maybe the people who assaulted 140 police officers were just like tourists. 

That is not the way of leadership. That is some dark, dark and evil way of proceeding. Why? Because it dishonors the truth on which the stability of this republic relies. And maybe just as importantly it dishonors all of us who were there that day… worst of all, it dishonors the brave men and women who put their lives on the line that day to protect us. 

Those of us who put up the signs on our office doors saying, thank you, capitol police. Only to turn around and remain silent when the attackers of the capitol police were pardoned on Monday. These are people who put their lives on the line to protect us and the democracy. I think it's worth spending a minute or two, Mr. Speaker, to remind us who these people were and what happened.
