We went from taking out terrorists to terrorizing hotel staff. What a downgrade.

On Saturday October 18th, I’m asking you to attend the No King’s March in your local communities. We have witnessed the increasing authoritarianism and its policies in our country. We dissent.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Trump is a lawless menace trying to disregard the Constitution and grab king-like power, and House Republicans’ “No Contempt Clause” is a serious escalation requiring a strong and immediate response.

But it is NOT a permanent end to judiciary checks and balances.

And yes, we can still stop it.
Did Republicans Just Make the Trump Administration Immune from Court Rulings?
If the "No Contempt Clause" becomes law, it’ll cause chaos for our courts and country

When you defy court orders and deny one man his Constitutional rights, you threaten them for ALL.

Trump can post all he wants, but a federal judge said there's “no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity.”

Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

Right on to this man for speaking truth to power. I was just talking to my buddy about this.

Let me just add: the reason Black folks need to sit this one out (for now). In large numbers, cops see us as a threat and escalate. Trust me—you don’t want to give Trump a reason to declare martial law.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?
