Millions of Americans are on the brink of hunger and federal workers and military members are without pay — yet the President is focused on destroying our history.
We are better than this cruelty.

A helicopter shot of No Kings protesters marching to Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves over what we have allowed America to become under the fascist authoritarian rule of Trump. 🙌💪👏✊️🇺🇸👇

Absolutely packed from Independence Hall to the Constitution Center and backed up into every cross street. Nowhere near enough room for everyone who came out today. Trump's ambition to be America's 21st century tyrant will fail. #nokings

GOP leaders call this "terrorism" and "hating America." Utter bullshit, meant to cow us all into submission. Prove them wrong by joining the No Kings protest nearest you, this Saturday, Oct 18. #nokings #indivisible

Come and get me.
Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

Another Saturday, another Tesla Takedown in Devon PA. De facto president Stephen Miller calls what I'm doing "terrorism." Bullshit. I'm going to keep calling ICE gestapo as long as they keep acting like Gestapo. Abe agrees. #teslatakedown #abolishice #nokings #indivisible

Look, I know your first instinct might be to be weirded out and disgusted by the the fact that a leading Democrat is lending legitimacy to the wannabe-dictator's propaganda shows while his regime is dismantling the constitution - but hear me out... No, actually, you got that exactly right.
Trump invites Gretchen Whitmer to speak. She avoids praising Trump, but says "I am so grateful that this announcement was made today" and shakes hands with him

It is so obvious that this should not be allowed and the party that puts an end to it, and all the stock trading, etc. will have done something great for this country.
Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick has put roughly $1 million into Bitcoin, the largest investment by any member of Congress, as he sits on the committee charged with crafting rules for digital currency.

For decades, our government has been bought by for-profit interests that treat public service as a business opportunity—profiting off our tax dollars through contracts, corporate handouts, and policies that benefit billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street executives.

Finally! This is what we've been waiting for from Senate Dems. The rest of us can do our part on April 5.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
