Good morning. Happy Halloween. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our nation’s history. There’s no close second. Go vote.
BREAKING: Trump has made nearly 29,000 securities trades since returning to the White House, more than all members of Congress combined (22,200)—Bloomberg Drain. The. Swamp.

P.S. The Tetris Company was not involved in the creation of ‘Build the Wall’. P.P.S. We take copyright infringement very seriously.

The Supreme Court has rejected Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. Children born on American soil will continue to be born American citizens.

Mifepristone is safe and effective health care, and access to health care should be a right for every American.

Are you a married woman who enjoys exercising your constitutional right to vote? This afternoon, Senate Republicans and Trump hope to make it much harder for you. Call your senator and tell them to vote NO on the "SAVE" Act. act.indivisible.org/sign/sto…

Replying to @RepOgles
Andy Ogles has violated his oath of office. He swore an oath to support & defend the Constitution which protects the free exercise of religion through the First Amendment. Advocating for the exclusion of people from the United States solely because they are Muslim calls for government action that would violate that constitutional protection. Promoting policies that would deny Americans their constitutional rights is inconsistent with the oath to support the Constitution Ogles should be expelled.

Nothing has changed. Minneapolis is still suffering — new leadership won’t change that. Congress can. Not a dollar to DHS or ICE until then.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Democratic women made history tonight: Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia. Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey. I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver for their states. 🎉

Yesterday: Trump bragged, "We took the freedom of speech away." Today: New reporting on Trump's plans to go after opposition groups. In 9 days: We mount the largest peaceful protest in modern history to say, loud and clear, that America has no king. nokings.org/

.@realDonaldTrump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states. If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them.

In the wake of the stunning news that Trump is planning to take over Columbia University, I hope you’ll watch this speech I gave yesterday. It details Trump’s plan to destroy democracy’s organs of accountability and dissent: the press, universities and lawyers. 1/ Intro
