A fter 6 months, there are still children that have yet to be reunited with their parents because of @realDonaldTrump’s inhumane policies. And over 14,000 children are locked up across America in child prisons. We CANNOT forget these children.
Heading over to the National Cathedral to pay my respects to a man of dignity, honorable president and American patriot. #NationalDayOfMourning @GeorgeHWBush
The @GOP is reacting to losing elections by trying to strip the power of incoming elected officials. This is not how democracies behave. We can’t let them get away with this. https://t.co/IJpQHYrj1f
Stopping by @KGWNews Straight Talk at 4:30 PM PST. RX drive prices are too high, and I’ve got a plan to fix it.
The only people in America who don't think drug prices are too high are getting rich off of pharmaceutical company profits. It's time to take action! https://t.co/HR4EHoyWCv
Climate chaos will endanger our economy and our lives if we don’t act boldly. Transportation is the single biggest driver of carbon pollution in the U.S. We need a path to 100% zero-emission vehicles, & today, that’s what we’re proposing.

It’s about who we are and who we want to be as Americans. We have an obligation under our laws and treaties to grant asylum, but more importantly, our moral, religious, and ethical values—not to mention many of our own families’ histories—should compel us.
@realDonaldTrump’s decision to fire Jeff Sessions and hire Matthew Whitaker shows he believes he has UNILATERAL POWER to replace cabinet-level officials with cronies and loyalists. James Madison and friends disagreed. https://t.co/69K2mbOfgB
This morning, I joined activists and nuclear policy experts at the @plough_shares/@ploughshares_fund conference to talk about the threat that an unchecked nuclear arms race would pose to the world. We can and must have a smarter foreign policy—one that leads by example.
Help turn out voters to flip the House and Senate! Remember that only a few votes per prescient can win an election: https://t.co/EG1beUh9Wz https://t.co/qXn96qqduS
I had a great time stomping the concrete for some very impressive New Hampshire candidates this past weekend. When we turn out voters -- we win! Happy to do whatever I can to help send these amazing Democrats to the New Hampshire Leg: @jeannedietsch @Jennforsenate @manny4nh! https://t.co/gyYXqtU7Qj
.@SecNielsen stated, under oath, that @DHSgov doesn’t detain children. That’s completely inaccurate. Children and families are held in facilities by ICE, which is part of DHS. Children are held by the Border Patrol before transfer to HHS; I witnessed kids in cages at the border. https://t.co/pymmLXGOZW
Why does @SecNielsen bend & break the facts? If you can’t speak honestly, resign.
A reminder that the Trump Administration STILL has not reunited all the children that they snatched at the border with their parents. https://t.co/PunGxzcfDH
I know a lot has been happening lately, but don’t lose focus. There are over 12k innocent immigrant kids in government detention because of @realDonaldTrump’s immigration policies. Don’t be silent. STAND UP. Speak out!
Exactly, @BarackObama. This is a fight for the soul of our democracy. Of, by, and for the PEOPLE, not by and for the powerful. RISE UP! Speak out. And take out country back. QT @ABC: Former Pres. Barack Obama: "The point [George] Washington made, the point that is essential to American democracy,… https://t.co/QY1uJZchHP)
Mr. President, You are now over three weeks past a court-issued deadline to reunite over 500 children with their families. Their trauma is on your hands. Your Administration has failed. FIX THIS NOW!
A President under investigation by the FBI should not be allowed to appoint a Justice to the Supreme Court. We MUST #StopKavanaugh. We CANNOT let this to happen!
.@JoeNBC: this is spot on: @realDonaldTrump’s dismissal of Russia’s attack on America is intolerable and wrong. It’s not a hoax. It’s not a joke. It’s the president’s job to address this threat. Anything less is a dereliction of duty. https://t.co/GMa8ilNPnT
