Pres Trump believes none of this. He betrays America's best values. His enablers look on in damning silence.
Trump just said that the four Congresswomen he has been attacking with racist dogwhistles are “free to leave” America. We were told during the internment that we were free to “go back to Japan,” even though most of us were born in America and had never even been there. Enough.

So, Mexico wouldn’t pay for the wall, Congress wouldn’t pay for the wall, even a gofundme wouldn’t pay for the wall. Obviously, now it’s a goddamn national emergency.
Trump wants to declare a #NationalEmergency. Here's a short video with 3 facts from the @realDonaldTrump Administration's own data that will help you decide if it's a legit action.
I wanted to call this #TedTalks but my staff said I'd get sued. So it's called #TruthWithTed.
Donald Trump is talking about declaring a national emergency to *seize taxpayer dollars* to fund a *federal project* that Congress did not approve.
For Congressional Republicans, how is defending that a conservative principle?
Law only allows the use of a #NationalEmergency in two scenarios:
1. Declaration of war
2. Emergency requiring the use of armed forces
Not because you failed at negotiating & Mexico won't pay for your racist wall.
The American people will see you in court, @realDonaldTrump.
When have we ever debated whether something is a “national emergency?” If it’s not generally accepted, isn’t that the first sign that it’s not? #NationalEmergency
Gun violence is an emergency.
Climate change is an emergency.
Our country's opioid epidemic is an emergency.
Donald Trump's ridiculous wall is not an emergency.
If @realdonaldtrump declares a national emergency to fund his border wall, I’m prepared to introduce a resolution to terminate the President’s emergency declaration under 50 U.S.C. 1622. (National Emergencies Act) #FakeEmergency
President Barack Obama declared a national emergency in 2009 during the swine flu outbreak. President George W. Bush declared a national emergency the day after the 9/11 attacks.
Those were national emergencies.
Thank you for all the kind words and support in this difficult time for many famlies in Parkland.
I will be taking a break from Twitter for the next 3 days.
Please remember the people we're stolen from us that day; they are why we fight for peace.
