From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

All of this, in violation of the Constitution.
Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.
What we have is an appropriations king.
Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.
In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.
We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

Tonight, Pete did this interview about the Trump administration rolling back consumer protections.
(And you can tell Pete is really at the airport, because you can hear a baby crying in the background. But he never misses a beat. He's the best. 😎)

The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.

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.
