On this Constitution Day, remember this. .. Our Constitution is more than words on parchment. It’s a promise and no president is above it. As Trump continues to spit all over it, we must defend our rights, the rule of law and the Constitution itself. We the People means WE the people. 🇺🇸

People are missing something big about Trump's insane new trade war with Canada: Its impact will hit right in the heart of the Midwest, where many midterm races will be decided. I talked to Dems in the region. They're already using this against Rs. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2146...

Trump has already telegraphed his nefarious plans for interfering in the midterms. He's a sore loser who has trafficked in lies and conspiracy theories about 2020 for 6 years. Trump will repeat this BS tonight. This is incredibly dangerous.

A despicably arrogant, defiant, full blown Trumpian response by Graham Platner as he disgracefully exits the race. He blamed everyone but himself for his failures. Not atypical of toxic behavior.

Anyone still defending Graham Platner at this point is supporting what we claim to despise. Enough is enough with this guy. Either character matters or it doesn’t. I firmly believe it does. It must. Or we’re no better than MAGA.
