At a moment when our nation needs to hear from leaders who can unite for a common purpose, I am honored to be delivering the Democratic State of the Union response.
Your refusal to accept the unanimous assessment of U.S. Intelligence on Iran, No. Korea, ISIS, Russia, & so much more shows the extent of your intellectual bankruptcy. All Americans, especially members of Congress, need to understand the danger you pose to our national security.
As a Republican, I’d like to heap blame for the shutdown on Trump alone. But Ryan refused to bring the Senate-passed CR to the House floor in December, and McConnell and Senate Republicans enabled Trump for a month. Defeating Trump will have to be part of a broader GOP renewal.
I hope that President @realDonaldTrump has heard our federal workers and their families. I hope he's heard Democrats in Congress.
No more Trump shutdowns.
No more holding federal workers hostage.
Your cabal of unprincipled, unethical, dishonest, and sycophantic cronies is being methodically brought to justice. We all know where this trail leads. If your utter incompetence is not enough to run you out of office, your increasingly obvious political corruption surely will.
Democratic candidates cannot win by running against their opponent or on their terms -- you must give voters a reason to vote for you, a better vision for their future: https://t.co/5ug3otL66M
Me: “I don’t think billionaires should concentrate wealth while employing people who are sleeping in cars working a zillion hours to survive.”
Next day: “That will be TEN PINOCCHIOS to Ocasio, ‘zillion’ is not a number and I found someone who sleeps in a tent, not a car.”
We know @realDonaldTrump and the @GOP don’t get it, but I’m starting to think the media doesn’t get it either: We no longer want to live in a country that protects the privilege of straight white men at the expense of people of color, LGBTQ people and women. Equal means equal.
Trump should stop holding the paychecks of America’s workers hostage to his radical demands. Our workers are suffering and he’s “proud” of it. It’s time he end the #TrumpShutdown now!
Marc and I have loved watching Charlotte be such a wonderful big sister and we’re excited to watch Aidan become a big brother! We cannot wait to meet our newest addition later this summer.
BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi has just instructed the Sergeant at Arms to cancel the walkthrough that White House officials planned to take in preparation of the State of the Union address.
In other words, Pelosi is BOSS and Trump can't do a thing about it!
