Here's what I told Secretary of State Marco Rubio today:
What he's done is outright illegal.
His decimation of USAID and so much else has led to senseless death and suffering, and it's left the United States weaker.
We should tear up Trump's budget and write a new one.

Historic summary of Trump foreign policies hurting millions of people, wrecking U.S. reputation abroad.

The Pope just delivered a sharp message on #DonaldTrump’s immigration policies, calling them “nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible.” He condemned family separations, mass deportations, and rhetoric framing migrants as an “invasion.” In his 24-minute speech, he urged leaders to see migrants “with the eyes of Christ, who saw not borders, but hearts.”He reminded political leaders that “power is a service, not an end” and insisted the Church must defend human dignity for every person, regardless of origin. The Pope’s words underscore a moral divide between faith and politics, putting compassion and humanity at the center of the immigration debate.#Pope #Immigration #FamilySeparation #HumanRights #MigrantRights #Politics #ChristianValues #Church #USPolitics #TrumpPolicies #Compassion #FaithInAction #Dignity—This message about Trump & America is worth your time. Small clip from the Pope’s 24-minute speech. 8 minute cut down video is up on TikTok & YouTube. #politics #usa #news #breakingnews #trump #usa #pope repost @makeamericakindagain.1Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas JeffersonView all 1,852 comments

So it's official; the world's governments have failed to take the necessary actions and we're now going to #overshoot the goals of the Paris #climate accord
How should we make sense of this moment? And where do we go from here?

As I've said many times, you can't build the mass deportation apparatus without first building the police state apparatus.
New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo
“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”
“Alright, we just got to verify that”

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”
