Important line in the sand from voices in Congress tonight. Trump can't unilaterally close @USAID. And what's more - he shouldn't. Losing USAID would be bad for the world and bad for the American people. Here's why.
Hearing that Trump is about to double down on the constitutional crisis. A President cannot eliminate an appropriated federal agency by executive order. That’s what a despot - who wants to steal the taxpayers money to enrich his billionaire cabal - does. Watch USAID tonight.

Thank you for your leadership @benwikler & for putting this year in context.
Kamala Harris won more votes than any other presidential candidate in Wisconsin history, with two exceptions: Barack Obama in 2008 (who won 9,221 more votes while winning a 14-point landslide), and Donald Trump in 2024. We hit our marks. But even more Trump voters showed up.

People are so willing to say things online they would never say in person. Please think before you DM and harass people for those celebrating your Tuesday victory.

Spending the afternoon canvassing with the @WisDems outside of Milwaukee and then an evening at the campaign rally. More GOTV canvassing tomorrow because we need @KamalaHarris in the White House. Every vote counts this election. Early vote or make your plan for Tuesday!

BREAKING: CNN just released their fact check of Donald Trump throughout the debate. It turns out Donald Trump lied on just about every answer. Retweet so all Americans see this vital fact check on Trump’s BS.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but no one is murdering babies. No one is pregnant for nine months and then decides to terminate their pregnancy #Debates2024
