Republicans want to double your healthcare costs.

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 15 million people.

Republicans want to give their billionaire donors handouts at your expense.

And they’re lying about it every chance they get.

New day, same fake story. 👋🏽

Donald Trump is an embarrassing, racist, and corrupt liar.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.-IO

Trump: "The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. I met the president of Somalia. I told him, 'you have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run our country. Would you like to take her back?' He said, 'No I don't want her!'"

Invoking the Insurrection Act in his manufactured war on American cities is both illegal and unconstitutional.

Another unhinged act of authoritarianism.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

Q: Are you planning to invoke the Insurrection Act?

TRUMP: Well, it's been invoked before. If you look at Chicago -- Chicago is a great city where's a lot of crime and if the governor can't do the job, we'll do that job.

It is outrageous that the United States spends more on its military than the next 9 countries combined.

Imagine if we stopped spending half of the nearly $1 trillion Pentagon budget and invested it in healthcare, education, and housing instead.

Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created.

They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care.

NO.

From denying Somalia had a president to making up a story, President Trump is a lying buffoon. No one should take this embarrassing fool seriously

To the haters: The one thing you're not going to succeed in is silencing my voice. 💅🏽

I'm grateful to represent great Americans who have faith in me to carry their voice, to fight, and to ensure that they can afford their lives.

I’m proud of my Somali heritage, proud of my faith, and beyond proud to be an American.

P.S. To the president: no, you can’t impeach a member of Congress 😉

I am proud to be born a Muslim.
I am proud to be born in Somalia.
I am proud to have become an American.

None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet.

Four Republicans didn’t join Democrats to protect me, they joined to defend the first amendment and sanity. No one should be going after them. This country stands for freedom and right now what people are doing is totally unacceptable.

Thank you to my colleagues for having my back and not furthering lies on the House floor.

Appreciate them safeguarding first amendment protections and the usage of the censure.

Finally some sanity in the House.

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.

Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.

Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

Today, we remember the thousands of lives lost and the heroic first responders in the largest terror attack on U.S. soil.

I will continue to fight to make sure we take care of our first responders and families who lost loved ones.

Now and forever we must #NeverForget.

Political violence is absolutely unacceptable and indefensible. Unconscionable acts of violence should have no place in our country. Let’s pray for no more lives being lost to gun violence.ll

The Israeli government is holding Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Palestinian-American citizen, in prison. He has been held without trial for over six months.

He must be released.
