Minutes after the bill was signed, my firm sued on behalf of affected voters. I told you I don 't bluff. Next up is to show that we win.

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Sensor Booker how about encouraging all of your fellow senators to post a video restating their oath to the constitution. I would love to see that as an action of resistance. Thanks for staying strong

I was in a little donut shop while on a trip to West Virginia. They had a table with handmade soaps and things and these stickers for sale. Who would expect this in a small town in the middle of West Virginia! Hope abounds!

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

Republicans are letting Trump steal from everyday Americans, just so they can lower taxes for billionaires and corporations.

It’s unchecked greed, corruption, and cruelty at the highest level.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
 And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.
