Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House.
If I've learned one thing from this past year, it's that you have to push back. I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law and the country that has given me everything.

All across our country, there are good people who every day step up, step forward, and step into the breach to help others.
Our algorithms too often amplify outrage and division. Our media too often elevates the cruel, the demeaning, and the degrading.
But the truth is, our nation is filled with humble heroes. Everyday people who see someone in need and act. Who don’t hesitate to help. Who don’t ask what religion someone practices, what race they are, or what political party they belong to.
They act because they recognize our common humanity, because they see the dignity and worth in others, because kindness and decency are stronger than the divisions that too often dominate our attention.
This woman and the nurses she rallied remind us that heroes are all around us. And that when we come together, we can literally save lives.
May we see more of this.
May we be more of this.

JD Vance has attacked former White House Press Secretary and journalist Jen Pskai, telling her to “eat shit” for being critical of the Trump Administration. RETWEET if you stand with @JrPsaki against Vance’s disgusting attack!

The corruption driving the Trump presidency is a civic emergency. Congress has a responsibility to confront it directly and to crush it as quickly as possible. We, Democrats, will not rest until we restore the rule of law.

In President Trump's Gangster State, the Justice Department is totally captured and controlled by the president. Now Republicans in Congress voted to turn Trump's personal attorney, Todd Blanche, into Trump's personal Attorney General. We need a DOJ committed to the rule of law, not the corrupt rule of a kleptocrat.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, two Republican mayors from the most conservative parts of Georgia just endorsed Jon Ossoff over Republican Mike Collins. Collins is actively stunned and unable to figure out how such defections happened. Let’s go.

Todd Blanche will NEVER do what's best for the American people.
He will only do what's best for Donald Trump.
That should disqualify him from becoming our Attorney General.

We've got every House Democrat signed on to our discharge petition to permanently reject President Trump's corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund, his payoffs to MAGA foot soldiers and his corrupt Super Pardon.
We need just six self-respecting Republicans to join us to protect taxpayer dollars and end this gargantuan ripoff of the public treasury.

Ketanji Brown Jackson: "I clerked for judges at all three levels and I ended up being appointed as a judge at all three levels. My first judicial appointment made by Obama, I was appointed to the district court in D.C. President Biden appointed me to the appellate court in D.C. And then I was appointed to the Supreme Court."
Michelle Obama: Highly highly qualified.
