Our Congressional leaders need to assert themselves far more forcefully now for "Putin is a ruthless murderer who has no interest in peace and cannot be trusted" and Trump is a corrupt, venal, compromised man hellbent on selling out the West. My latest 👇

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people.

I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.

Ahead of the holidays, Americans are seeing the cost of gifts, groceries and decorations go up.

And what are Republicans doing about it? Building luxury ballrooms and buying private jets.

Anything BUT helping American families get by.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Over and over, Jesus made it clear: food is not something people need to prove themselves worthy of.

This is not about humanity deserving to be fed but about the inhumanity of those withholding the meal.
