Nope. Not letting this go. The FBI’s reputation is not in “tatters”. It’s composed of the same dedicated men and women who have always worked there and who do a great, apolitical job. You’ll find integrity and honesty at FBI headquarters and not at 1600 Penn Ave right now

People waiting to vote in Milwaukee - in the middle of a pandemic. This is what Vos, Fitzgerald, the Supreme Courts have done. They have endangered the lives of people who simply want to vote. This is irresponsible. It is shameful. We have to do better for November election.

Given Supreme Court rulings on mail ballots and Trump's effort to undermine the Postal Service, I strongly suggest that you now vote in person - try early voting or find a drop box. Protect your health but don’t let anyone deprive you of your most precious right. Have a plan.

Democracy is diminished, put at risk, when those who lose elections do not voluntarily relinquish power.

Adherence to the rule of law and accepted norms are principal reasons why this nation is exceptional. Trump telling Sessions to end an inquiry where he is, at least, a “subject” challenges all of that. Be warned: We cannot assume that, without defense, our system will endure.

House Republicans are irresponsibly more concerned with Strzok, Rosenstein and Clinton than they are with Putin/Russian actions. Smoke screen. Trying to delegitimize expected results of Mueller inquiry and protect people in Trump campaign and a very likely complicit President

The next time Trump or the complicit Republicans say they are “pro law enforcement” remember their treatment of the FBI, the DOJ, the career men and women who work there and the ways in which they have flouted the rule of law.

This Administration has been in power for over a year now. They have done nothing to protect our electoral systems from further attacks or to deal meaningfully with the opioid crisis. Inexcusable.

Russian threat to our upcoming elections: do something! Do anything. Impose sanctions overwhelmingly approved by even this dysfunctional congress. Are you simply unfit, without the necessary nerve or do they have something on you? We were attacked!

Unbelievably the Bible is now being cited to justify this policy of separating kids from parents. This is a policy change this Administration put in place that is cruel and inhumane. Where are Republican voices in opposition? You own this.

This is the message you’re getting out: your Administration is cruel, inhumane and acting in a manner inconsistent with American values. You can have secure borders without tearing kids away from their parents.

Elijah Cummings was the rarest of politicians- he was a man of substance and of grace; fierce in his determination to protect those without a voice and implacable in his search for the truth. Our nation has lost a truly great public servant.

There is a debt that is owed to those who gave so much so that all Americans would have the right to vote. Honor their sacrifice. No excuses: register and then vote in November.

53 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law by President Johnson. I shed a little blood on that bridge in Selma and friends of mine gave their lives so that no person would be denied their right to vote. Now do your part—get registered, and vote. #goodtrouble

Be wary of “unity” calls that are designed to excuse, obscure the conduct of people who must be held responsible. There can’t be real unity without accountability. We need instead a coalition of people committed to American Renewal-to rebuild what the past 4 years have damaged.
