A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.
Here’s a thought.
Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

Okay @schumer.senate.gov, now it’s coming for your state. Are you going to help Trump fund his government, with a deal that he will violate and use to attack your constituents?
Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from NY if NYC elects Mamdani. An impeachable offense for any other president in any other era. In this one it’s just another Monday.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Donald Trump promised that he would lower housing costs on day one. Here's a suggestion for the Trump administration: try to legislate, and maybe we can find common ground in order to get something done for the American people."

Then why are you voting for a bill he will sign, a bill that does not protect consumers and depositors but instead protects crypto investors?
No President has the right to use the uniformed military in a way that violates the Constitution and taints the apolitical military. Whether you’re a supporter of the president or not, everyone should be concerned that major lines on the use of force are now being crossed.

If you ever figure out who is in a position to actually do something about all this stuff that should "never have" happened, do let us know. Perhaps someone in the Senate?
Mayor Ras Baraka has been released, but he should never have been arrested by Trump to begin with.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.
