I’ve heard firsthand how Donald Trump speaks to authoritarian leaders behind closed doors. I’ve seen how he bends American values to protect himself, not our country.
That pattern is repeating itself right now.
Trump is protecting MBS instead of standing up for America.
We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.
Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.
#Liberty at Fort Dearborn (#Chicago) is under threat by #federalized#troops from the home of the Alamo (#Texas). Would the Alamo’s defenders attack or support Fort Dearborn? My eyes are watching, are you? #NoKings
Trump doesn’t know a lot about our Founders, but they definitely knew a lot about him. The American Constitution was conceived in the fight against monarchical oppression and is loaded with guardrails against tyranny like the foreign Emoluments Clause and the Constitutional Supremacy Clause. Let’s use them.
In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects.
Just us—‘We the People.’
Of the five boroughs in NYC, Staten Island is Trump's stronghold. Yet today the borough's newspaper, the Staten Island Advance, "enthusiastically" endorsed Harris, calling her "the only choice in 2024," and delivering some tough love to readers 🧵
@LawyerLeeW Q. Guess what store comes up when you search for “disposable gloves near Delphi Indiana” then shopping, non powdered modified. And. CVS & 3-4 others in town. Nice to meet you last Monday.
In its annual job rankings, U.S. News and World Report lists respiratory therapy as No. 6 in healthcare and No. 16 on top 100 overall. While the need for #MoreRTs is growing, the fulfillment and professional rewards are amazing! https://t.co/lSbj5SzbuL #WorldNeedsMoreRTs
