A snip of @warren.senate.gov outside Treasury this afternoon. Think the crowds will grow? Is a movement finding its sea legs in these turbulent waters? (Thanks to @jawnuthin.bsky.social for being there today.)

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.
