On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”

On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.

This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces.

I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians.

As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BOMBSHELL: Jon Ossoff says Trump’s son-in-law is negotiating with PUTIN to sell Russian oil assets to Trump family allies, and they’ve already “poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses.”

The entire Trump family belongs in PRISON! Where is the media??

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

@krassenstein @AbdulElSayed Absolutely agree!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

OMFG! This response from @AbdulElSayed to a completely bigoted question is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year.

Every bigot in America needs to listen to this three times.

Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him?

*a few moments later*

Trump: 😴😴😴

[MikeW @mjw5965]

@ShawnN_pgh24 @colin_dunlap HUH?! You need to retake Civics 101. White supremacists, MAGA, and christian extremists (all the same thing) are ALL on the right end of the political spectrum.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Trump just claimed he renamed the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario because "we are fighting for our country."

What universe is he living in where that is considered "fighting for our country?"

@katyperry @WhiteHouse #TraitorTrump and his regime are notorious for using music, songs, videos, and doing MANY things without permission in order to promote their nefarious agenda and satiate their god-king's fragile ego! 😡

[KATY PERRY @katyperry]

I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.

I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.

My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
