Trump might be right about racism against whites. During Vietnam we didn’t let them serve and instead forced them to accept appointments and scholarships for universities they weren’t qualified for. Phil Ochs - “I ain’t no fool and I’m goin to school and I’m workin in a defense plant. Bam!

This is at the top of the list of Trump's massive corruption. He's literally stealing money from us.

In this case, he's going to spend $1 billion (THATS A LOT OF MONEY!) of our $$ to build himself a luxury plane that he is going to take with him after he leaves.

Honestly...

Black, Indigenous, and migrant communities are not only overrepresented among trafficking victims; they’re too often ignored in the fight to end it. On #WorldDayAgainstTrafficking, equity must be the priority.

Update: I offered this simple amendment in the Appropriations Committee to say no President can withhold funds from a college to try to control their speech.

Failed 14-15. Every Republican voted to endorse Trump’s censorship.
Ok I’m offering another amendment right now in the Appropriations Committee to stop Trump’s corruption.

This one says the Department of Education can’t cancel funding for a college just because professors or students hold views Trump doesn’t like.

Again, stay tuned.

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.

Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.
The fight against corruption has to be ceaseless.

Today in the Appropriations Committee, I will offer an amendment to prohibit the Qatari jet that was gifted to Trump (which is going to cost taxpayers $1 billion) from being transferred to him personally.

Stay tuned.

Putin suggested holding direct negotiations in Turkey on May 15.

President Zelenskyy with his team arrived in Turkey.

Putin is absent. Instead, he sent a non-representative delegation with no decision-making mandate.

Does Putin want to achieve peace and stop the war? The answer is obvious - no

Good morning.

Republicans are trying to push through a bill that would throw 13M people off their insurance. All for a tax cut for the rich.

Do you see this building? This is the state capitol of Colorado. It's meant to be for all people.

Do you see these people? These people don't believe that any more.

I've been voting for 50 years. This is the first time I'm scared of the future for the USA. It is time to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
