Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Hearing statistics about Trump’s budget doesn’t tell the full story. It’s about the real lives that feel the consequences of it.

Watch my full conversation with Dr. Jill, a health care provider in rural Wisconsin, about what she’s already seeing in her community.

The Constitution belongs to all of us.

We’re proud to launch this new initiative to make the rule of law accessible for all.

Because our nation is at its best when Americans are informed, engaged, and empowered.

We Hold These Truths logo: We still hold these truths, even though they are under attack. It will take all of us to protect and defend people, their rights, and our future. Join us: weholdtruths.org Join Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs in support of: Personal Freedoms The personal freedoms accorded throughout the Constitution and its many amendments are an essential protection against government tyranny and reflect the inherent rights of every person in the United States. Equality Equality is a precondition of freedom. We all are free only when all of us, not just some of us, are free from discrimination, exclusion, and threat. Without equality for all, freedom for all is a broken promise. Democracy and Elections In a democracy, voters elect their leaders, and elected candidates make the law. Our democratic republic functions best when Americans accept, honor, and respect election results. To achieve this outcome, elections must be conducted in a fair manner. Separation of Powers A fundamental structural feature of the Constitution, and its chief safeguard of our liberty, is avoiding the concentration of power by separating and placing limits upon the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government among three branches that check, balance, and respect each other’s power. The Rule of Law To preserve liberty, fairness, and the stability of our democratic society, the exercise of power by the government and other actors must be limited by law.

Our full-page color ad running today in the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Arizona Republic, and the Dallas Morning News. These are the truth which unite us, and these are the truths which every American needs to know. weholdtruths.org #sharethetruths
Personal freedoms The personal freedoms accorded throughout the Constitution and its many amendments are an essential protection against government tyranny and reflect the inherent rights of every person in the United States. These include, -Freedom of expression. Democracy depends on freedom of speech and the press. The government has no right to intimidate or punish anyone simply on the basis of their views and ideas.  -Criminal justice. Those suspected and accused of crimes are protected by many provisions of the Bill of Rights, including those limiting police searches and arrests, ensuring the privilege against self-incrimination, and providing for fair trials.  These rights are imperative to protect individual freedom and prevent abuses by the government. -Personal autonomy. Our society respects fundamental aspects of autonomy, including the liberty to make important decisions about one’s life. the Constitution, and its chief safeguard of our liberty, is avoiding the concentration of power by separating and placing limits upon the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government among three branches that check, balance, and respect each other’s power.   -Responsibility of each branch of government: Congress alone possesses the legislative power, which is limited to that authority enumerated in the Constitution. The President is not a King; his power must come from the Constitution or a statute passed by Congress and may not be applied to violate the constitutional rights of others. And it is “emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.” -National defense: The federal government must provide for the common defense, which today means protecting the United States, supporting our allies overseas, and preventing foreign interference from disrupting our political system. But whether the federal government is protecting national security or fulfilling its domestic responsibilities, it must adhere to the limits of i…

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular.

We need to make sure more people learn about them.

They might affect the bill’s fate… if more people learn about them and speak up.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war.

I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸
