Today, I filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for engaging in years of financial fraud to enrich himself, his family, and the Trump Organization.  There aren't two sets of laws for people in this nation: former presidents must be held to the same standards as everyday Americans.

We are again saddened and angry in response to the killing of 8 people in Atlanta, 6 of whom were women of Asian descent. The targeting of Asian women reflects how the lethal intersection of white supremacy and misogyny fuels violence against women...#StopAsianHate

President Trump ordered federal officers to force peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square And now, he’s converted it into something resembling a militarized zone Lafayette Square should be a symbol of freedom, not a place behind which he cowers in fear of peaceful protesters

Wouldn't it be great if PROOF OF CONSPIRACY—which lays out Donald Trump Jr.'s crimes—re-entered the New York Times bestseller list ahead of Trump Jr.'s TRIGGERED? I'm just saying that if this tweet got enough retweets, we could probably make that happen. amazon.com/Proof-Conspiracy-…

I lived in #Baltimore and went to law school in @RepCummings’ district. It’s called Charm City because of its passionate people, promise of opportunity, and patriotism (from the Star-Spangled Banner to its faithful congressman). #ElijahCummingsIsAPatriot
