🧵I’m calling the second Trump administration the “Catch Me If You Can” presidency.

This is the kind of arbitrary and undemocratic authority that prompted the colonists to rebel against England and declare independence 249 years ago.

We don’t need a revolution, but we do need anyone who shares the American values of democracy and self-government to speak out and demand your representatives stand up for our rights to live in a country where everyone, including the rich and powerful, have to follow the law.

GOP before: "Trump will lower prices!" GOP now: "Higher prices are good, actually." Try telling farmers and small businesses who rely on trade with Canada, or families who will see higher prices that the pain will be worth it. Our economic well-being is not a negotiating chip.
NYS Senate GOP Leader Rob Ortt and US Rep. Mike Lawler (R) acknowledge the importance of Canadian trade to NY, but say tariffs are a negotiating tactic. “Whatever pain there may be early on will be worth it in the end,” Ortt said. He has concerns on illegal drugs and crossings.

Rep. Matt Gaetz has a long history of trafficking in antisemitism — from explaining his vote against the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act by invoking the centuries-old trope that Jews killed Jesus to defending the Great Replacement Theory and inviting a Holocaust denier as his 2018 State of the Union guest. He should not be appointed to any high office, much less one overseeing the impartial execution of our nation's laws.
