1. Seize all Russian state assets & give them to Ukraine asap so that UKRAINE CAN WIN! 2. Provide Ukraine with all the arms it needs to WIN! 3. Give up on the US & swiftly establish all assets that are missing! 4. Ignore the Trump administration & work with the US Congress! /2

The prosecution of Comey, the targeting of NYAG James, and the closing of an investigation into Homan are proof Trump has turned the DOJ into a vehicle to punish opponents and protect allies. This is how the rule of law crumbles. That’s why I introduced the Preventing Political Prosecutions Act.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

"The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments" This is eugenics. Trump like other right wing regimes is trying to eliminate the disabled and old from society.

Members of the Trump administration love to say that federal funding is a privilege not a right and therefore something that can be granted or withheld based on changing administrative priorities.

This culture is broken, it's not just a problem with our government. America has a sick culture. The vulnerable are really hated to the bone as common sentiment. All mad people know this & all poor people know this. The country refuses to interrogate its antiblackness whose cruelty has only morphed.

Winning the shutdown means wielding power. Newsom gets it. Democrats should stop rescuing Trump’s Medicaid cuts and ACA sabotage. Trade relief only for structural checks on executive abuse. Make him own the damage.
