New York's governor has engaged in corrupt and disgraceful behavior at every twist and turn; behavior that has resulted in ordinary New Yorkers getting shafted—or worse, killed. https://t.co/TIp5K17ype

These strikes are unconstitutional and dangerous. There’s no general authority for a president to launch airstrikes, and President Biden hasn’t claimed they were necessary to stop an imminent attack. Our Constitution demands he get approval from the representatives of the people.
The US launched airstrikes in Syria targeting facilities used by Iranian-backed militia groups. The strikes were in retaliation for an attack against US forces in Iraq.

Just got found guilty on all charges 😔 The justice system is severely flawed and every juror on my case is damned for their conviction! Instead of acquitting an innocent man for a nonviolent victimless crime they chose to rob me of my freedom. I'm angry and heartbroken 💔

The GOP needs to drop conspiracy theories to the same degree the DNC needs to drop cancel cuture with every new outrage.

Donald Trump is a demagogue who is inciting an insurrection against our Constitution.

Today, I introduced the Protect Asylum Seekers Act and the Practical Alternatives to Detention Act to protect immigrants from unnecessary prosecution, detention, or family separation. Our country was founded on the principle that human rights are inherent and deserve protection.

Today, I introduced the Civil Asset Forfeiture Elimination Act to repeal civil asset forfeiture nationwide. Its history is riddled with injustices not because it’s a valid practice that gets misused, but because its central premise is inherently flawed and unconstitutional.

I can’t wait for the day when we can’t blame everything on Trump. Our problems run deep.

The federal government under Donald Trump has executed more individuals in recent months than had been executed in the preceding 60 years. The death penalty is inhumane and fraught with error. No government should have this power. It’s past time to #AbolishTheDeathPenalty.

If you don’t hold the politicians you support accountable—if you think your team should violate the Rule of Law because the other team did—if you think all that matters is winning—then you should expect nothing short of routine corruption from the people you elect.

Legislation used to be crafted by legislators, not “negotiators.” The public needs to know that members of Congress have no idea who the hell is writing our legislation. It’s certainly not us.
I am hearing that Congress is likely to pass a one-week stopgap spending bill to avert a shutdown at the end of this week — and give negotiators more time to figure out what they are going to do with government funding on a longer-term basis

We can’t really amend bills. We don’t genuinely debate bills. As a result, even fewer people bother to read bills. Bills that are passed don’t reflect the work of the body. Congress is only superficially a legislature. Congressional leaders have effectively nullified Article I.
