LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .

Trump's efforts to try to ban vote by mail are all part of his scheme to undermine our free and fair elections–and it’s going to take all of We the People to make sure he never succeeds.

BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg was just announced as the featured speaker at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty & Justice dinner. This comes as Democrats look increasingly likely to oust Republicans at both the Senate and Gubernatorial level. Let’s go.

The assault on an NYPD officer outside Madison Square Garden last night was unacceptable.

New Yorkers are rightfully excited about the Knicks' historic Finals run, and we want fans to celebrate this moment together. There is, however, no place for violence, and no tolerance for attacks on police officers.

Thank you to the officers who worked to keep fans safe throughout the night, and we wish the injured officer a speedy recovery.

The overwhelming majority of New Yorkers celebrated responsibly, and I urge everyone to continue doing so as the Finals return to New York.

🚨BREAKING: In a Chicago suburb, a U.S. citizen was observing an adult man in a black ski mask, who she believed was an ICE agent, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL…

…and police pulled HER over.

Not the MASKED MAN driving around the Schaumburg high school…

The officer told her she was being detained for “stalking.”

Even though, when she asked who she was allegedly stalking… the cop admitted he didn’t even know yet, and would “find out in just a moment.”

So, just to clarify…

The cop hadn’t confirmed who the MASKED MAN was.

He hadn’t determined whether he was a federal agent, or why he was driving around a HIGH SCHOOL in a SKI MASK.

But the cop had already decided the woman, OBSERVING THE MASKED MAN, was the problem.

Americans have a First Amendment right to observe what government officials are doing in public.

If this was a federal agent… documenting their activity isn’t a crime.

It’s accountability.

And if it wasn’t a federal agent… most people would expect the police to be concerned about a MASKED MAN driving around a HIGH SCHOOL.

Not the woman observing him.

In a country where school shootings are a real and constant threat to students… that’s the bare minimum our law enforcement should be doing.

But when she asked why a MASK MAN, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL, didn’t concern him, the officer said:

“Everyone wears masks nowadays.”

So, if someone can be detained for peacefully observing, what they reasonably believe is government activity…

While police focus more on the observer than the MASKED MAN around a HIGH SCHOOL…

Then we have some serious questions that need to be asked… @GovPritzker

I come to #Spain to confirm, encourage, and inspire renewed fidelity to the Gospel among believers, as well as deeper reconciliation and cooperation among the different souls of this nation. Spain's own history reminds us that stability and prosperity are born not of a culture of confrontation, but of a culture of encounter. #ApostolicJourney

Holy shit, this sick old man can't even keep himself upright, seated in the Oval Office.

He's practically sideways. How TF is this not a bigger story?

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

I just offered an amendment to the Republican budget to finally reveal the truth about Trump’s cuts to health care.

The American people deserve to know how many have lost coverage.

Washington Republicans voted it down.

Why are they so afraid of transparency?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

So let me get this straight.

Donald Trump wants his personal lawyer and the architect of a corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund to be the Attorney General?

Get lost.

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on.

He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents.

Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! https://t.co/6JiiVjIv3F

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

When the Supreme Court repeatedly attacks voting rights and bends over backwards to a wannabe king, we should call it what it is.

This Court is racist, corrupt….and the American people deserve better.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

We must face the reality that the Supreme Court has been captured by partisan hacks and ideological extremists.

The House just passed the Democratic resolution requiring Donald Trump to end his reckless and costly war of choice in Iran.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨WTF! Trump bought $1M of Nvidia stock and then ONE WEEK LATER Trump loosened rules so Nvidia could sell chips to China — which sent the stock through the roof.

Bessent tries to blame Congress!!! Is he stupid or just evil??
