Trump's lawyers ADMITTED to STEALING money from blue states, just because they didn’t vote for him.

I am demanding every last cent be restored. This isn’t Trump’s money. These are taxpayer dollars and I won’t let this kind of lawless corruption stand.

I blocked Senate Republicans' petty and offensive resolution that implied Canada is letting their own forests burn just to spite us.

I know my Republican colleagues want to show the President how much they agree with him, but please.

What a waste of everyone's time.

We can thank Trump for making the outbreak of a parasite causing explosive diarrhea MUCH WORSE—seriously!
 
CDC used to track Cyclospora, but Trump gutted our public health infrastructure & made monitoring the parasite optional. Now, we're in the worst outbreak in U.S. history.

Today, House Republicans are falling over themselves to pass bills to officially "abolish" the Department of Education and destroy public education in America.

Nobody wants this.

So let me be crystal clear: under NO circumstances will I let these bills pass the Senate.
New GOP Bills Would Permanently Shift Ed. Dept. Programs to Other Agencies
The bills represent the most significant step so far among Republicans to nix the Education Department.

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it.
 
ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions.
ICE has detained over 500 babies and toddlers under Trump
On an average day, ICE has 25 children aged 3 or younger in custody, according to joint research by MS NOW and The Marshall Project.

Hanging out in a new bar on mercer island (Asa) before the monthly CISSP meetup. Just what I need after a non-stop roller coaster of context switching that was my day. Hooray for high-brow Manhattans!

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Woke up this morning to a puppy with an eye swollen shut, that he won't stop touching... Now he's shame-coned. Also, maybe he'll stop chasing spicy flies.
