In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

It's blatantly illegal, and the symbolism is just awful. He's trying to give himself a direct payment of 230 million tax payer dollars, while tearing down the actual white houses, and millions of Americans are about to starve and lose healthcare. Impeach. Convict. And removal from office. #NoKings

President Trump is building a ballroom for his billionaire friends while hardworking Americans struggle to make ends meet.

This feels typical for his presidency.

Sen Merkley had this to say:

"But even with that kind of provocation, Portlanders are saying we will not take the bait, we are demonstrating with joy & whimsy. Frogs & dinosaurs dancing. You couldn't find a much happier place in the country than the area near the ICE building in Portland."

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Week 4 of the shutdown. Federal workers unpaid. A looming health care crisis.

And Trump? He's talking to everyone BUT Democrats —sending billions of taxpayer dollars to his buddy in Argentina and negotiating in the Middle East while refusing to reopen his own government.

Insane.

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: 7 million people. Our neighbors, our friends, our community, did that. Over 300 some odd partner organizations from all over the country, from massive base building organizations to teeny tiny community defense groups. Y'all, we did that.

Trump’s Phony “Karma Defense”

The claims that he was a victim of inappropriate “lawfare” are wildly inflated, and don’t justify his government’s lawsuits against his critics.

Social Security is NOT a handout.

It is a benefit earned with every paycheck, and it must be protected and expanded, not cut, privatized, or means-tested.

Ezra Levin: A hallmark of authoritarianism is it makes you feel like shit on a daily basis. That's what it does. And so in that environment, during this authoritarian breakthrough moment, celebrating success is an act of defiance.
