After many years living in the area, my relationship with Chicago is a neutral one at best, but tonight, they are shining.

Regular people are out doing what our elected leaders refuse to do - uphold the Constitution.

A Republican state legislator from Arizona called for me to be “tried, convicted and hanged.”

It was a disturbing call for political violence and an attempt to silence my voice and our resistance movement. It should be condemned by members on both sides of the aisle.

House Republicans aren’t even in DC as the Trump Shutdown wreaks havoc on everyday people. We’re pushing vulnerable GOP representatives to call for a bipartisan deal to save healthcare. If you’re represented by a Republican, demand that they get back to work and end this government shutdown. 👇

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Call: Oregon’s under federal attack: a lawsuit to grab private voter data and an order to federalize our Guard for Portland.
Our leaders fought back—
Sec. Read refused,
AG Rayfield won TROs,
Gov. Kotek/Mayor Wilson & our delegation spoke out.
Tell them: stay strong for Oregon!

Portland Mercury @portlandmercury.com · 2d

In response to an investigation launched by the federal government into the Portland Police Bureau’s policing practices at the local ICE facility, the city attorney shot back, laying out a pattern of excessive force used on protesters, and favoritism toward conservative streamers by federal police.
