That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.

If you worry that a police state may come to your town, please understand that it's already arrived in the Chicago area. Trump has sent masked, armed thugs to terrorize our hard-working immigrant neighbors and punish us for voting against him. This abduction occurred a few blocks from my home.

I want the United States government to ensure that every American has food to eat, a place to live, a safe neighborhood, transportation to move around & work, clean water to drink, free health care & free education.
Don’t care what label you give that.
That’s what I want my taxes to pay for.

The New York Times likes to say Trump "has stretched the limits of his powers” and “tests the boundaries of the presidency.” But this is not a test or a stretching exercise. He’s a lawless politician building a dictatorship. Say it. 🧵 1/3

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?
