    All due respect Mr. Speaker, you and your party celebrated taking mental health care from millions just months ago at the White House.
    “Mental health reform is a critical ingredient to making sure we can try and prevent these things from happening," Speaker Ryan says

    I am sharing a personal statement that my family and I have made in response to my brother’s announcement.

    On May 4, 2017, all of these men gleefully celebrated passing a bill that would have taken mental health care from millions of Americans. Today, these same men blamed mental illness for gun violence.

    I’m introducing an immediate economic relief plan for every American. —$4k to every adult who makes under 100k per year —$2k to every adult who makes over 100k per year —$1k for every child 18 or younger We need to ensure every family has the funds to survive at this moment.

    The President broke the law last night on national TV.

    My uncle’s comments were hurtful and wrong. I unequivocally condemn what he said.

    Heaven forbid he speak to the men he is keeping in cages. Heaven forbid he look any one of them in the eye.
    New video shows severe overcrowding of men in cages at Texas detainment facility during VP Pence's visit Friday. A group of men detained behind chain link fencing shouted to news cameras, "No shower, no shower!" nbcnews.to/2GaAowu

    Senate Republicans made their choice. They ignored yours. Their power is temporary. Yours isn’t.

    Old enough to remember the time in 2018 when Trump/Ryan/McConnell shut down the government because we couldn’t afford $3.4B for health care for low-income kids. But please, lecture us about how spending $5B on an ineffective wall is in our national interest. #TrumpShutdown

    Good morning, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

    He has lied about who’s paying for it. You are. He has lied about who’s arriving at our border. Asylum seekers & terrified families. He has lied about who supports it. No former presidents. He has lied about why we need it. We don’t. Tonight will be no different.

    2 out of 3 sexual assaults are never reported. Might have something to do with the fact that for every 1,000 rapes, 994 perpetrators walk free. And the fact that men in power make statements like this one.
    I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!

    No survivor should be cross-examined by his or her accused rapist. Ever. Full stop.
    A new rule from Betsy DeVos would require universities to allow accused sexual abusers to cross-examine and re-traumatize their victims. This is absolutely sickening. washingtonpost.com/local/educatio…

    The President votes by mail. The Vice President votes by mail. The Attorney General votes by mail. The Secretary of Education votes by mail. The President's campaign manager votes by mail. They’re lying to you because they’re scared of you.
