My constituent Melanie from Chelsea was abducted by ICE, taken away from her young children–one with autism–& her husband. She has lived lawfully in the U.S. for years and is being held by ICE with an active ear infection & denied access to her anti-anxiety medication.

Paid sick leave doesn't exist, including for #cancer patients like me. #MitchMcConnell took 92 PAID days off (and frankly continues to), directly benefiting from a policy he denies the rest of us. Meanwhile I'm teaching 5th grade every day so I don't lose benefits & income. Please help & SHARE! ❤️

The same guy who tore up the JCPOA, the same guy (along with his entire party) who claims that we had to go to war with Iran in order to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons – is now inviting that same country to annihilate our cities. Treasonous beyond measure.

The President of the United States inviting Iran to "take out" two major American cities should receive as much coverage as a President of the United States having a bad debate.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Trump always identifies with the alleged rapists, not the victim. Never the victims. So it's not surprising that we live in a world where only about half of the Epstein have been released. We also live in a world where Donald Trump is mentioned more than 38,000 times in the Epstein files.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.
