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.
BREAKING: A federal appeals court has blocked mailing prescriptions to mifepristone, restricting access to one of the most common means of abortion. apnews.com/article/abortion-…

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…

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. 🎉

Millions of Americans don't know if they'll be able to feed their kids next week.
Meanwhile, Trump's focused on his ballroom.

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.

.@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.

.@RepRalphNorman is ripping health care away from 13 million Americans not exciting enough to stay awake?

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.

Media: @Acosta points out that @JoeBiden in his farewell address "warned the free press is crumbling in this country. I would add that's only if we, the people, let that happen. Journalists exist to seek the truth, to tell people stories, to lift up voices that may not be heard otherwise, to shine a light on injustice, and to hold the powerful accountable. We are not the enemy of the people. We are the defenders of the people. Walter Cronkite once said, Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy."
