The Trump Administration is now arresting journalists. I ask again, where is Congress? Impeachment is the only choice. #donlemon #impeach #fascism #congress @citizensimpeachment.com

Speaking out against ICE and Trump really brings out some gems. Do you think the sexism impacts their ability to spell? #sexism #womenrunning #womeninpolitics

Is this the new position of the far right and NRA?! If so, I think moving toward concealed carry with a permit and allowing guns to be banned on private property is essential. We need to keep people safe from all those criminals carrying their guns around.

They’re executing us in the street. They’re blocking peaceful protest. They’re demonizing their victims.
They’re lying.

Not another dime to this Administration.They must be stopped.

Alex Pretti, I’m so very sorry. Thank you for standing up and speaking out.

Trump & the Republicans must be stopped. ICE is this Administration’s paramilitary and it’s terrorizing our communities and murdering people. We need to elect Democrats who call that out. Not voting for a funding bill is a bare minimum. #ice #minneapolis #resist #fascism @citizensimpeachment.com

Beautiful morning in West Hartford recognizing the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr!

Update on #SAMHSA grants. This Administration is inept. #recovery #hhs #healthcare

They’ve done it again! I’m working with state partners to figure out the impact of Trump’s #samhsa grant termination letters and if it’s even legal… which I don’t believe it is! #mentalhealth #recovery #hhs #substanceabuse
