Today’s election security briefing from the administration was clear: Our 2020 elections will be under attack from foreign interference. We must act NOW! It’s time to exhume election security legislation from the legislative graveyard:
Why has @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell buried election security legislation in his legislative graveyard? Russia is gearing up to interfere in our democracy again in 2020. We need strong, bipartisan action to protect the sanctity of our elections.

I ran into presidential candidate, Beto O’Rourke during my layover in Nashville! Such a cool experience getting to have a conversation with him and discussing education!

When I was 13 years old, I wrote my Senator—I wanted to be a fighter pilot, but women weren’t allowed to do that. Mitch McConnell never wrote back, and I know I’m not the only Kentuckian he’s ignored in his years in Washington. Let’s defeat him together: secure.actblue.com/donate/mc…

The #ClimateCrisis threatens our air, water, & health, but it could also trigger a global financial crisis. Rising sea levels, more extreme storms, & water shortages are just a few of the many threats to our economy. nytimes.com/2019/06/11/clima…

Let’s be clear on this: Putin and his oligarchs interfered in our elections. After our 2020 election security briefing today, we cannot let this issue stay in @SenateMajLdr McConnell’s legislative graveyard. This is about protecting our democracy.

Last stop on my journey through Europe is Berlin!🇩🇪 There's so much history connected to this city and the USA have always played an important role in that as well. With @BetoORourke as #POTUS America would become a trustworthy ally again!🇪🇺💙🇺🇸 #Beto2020 #EuropeansforBeto

Trump the dictator-wannabe...
“We will not let them get away with it much longer.” The voice of Trump is the spirit of authoritarianism. Our institutions have to a considerable degree held him in check. A second term would be truly dangerous.
ICE just quietly opened three new detention centers, after Congress told it not to. This cannot pass by lightly. Let's get this article shared widely! bit.ly/2YRVGX3

Enough is enough. We need to end gun violence in this country. @BetoORourke will lead on this issue.
Shaundelle's son Akilah was murdered with an AR-15-style rifle while in a Nashville Waffle House. She is honoring him with action, starting a foundation in his name. Yesterday, she asked me what I'd do as president to end gun violence in this country. Here's what I told her:

“The kidney has a very special place in the heart.“ — Donald J. Trump, sans TelePrompTer, July 10, 2019. Our president. Of these United States. WTF?!?

It’s really not that radical. When DHS was 1st formed by Bush 17 years ago, many members of Congress were concerned - incl GOP - that we were setting up a ticking time bomb for civil liberties erosion & abuse of power. Discussing reorganization shouldn’t be out of the question.

.@SecretaryAcosta is yet another Trump swamp creature. Instead of protecting victims, he protected a predator. Resign already!

Trump retweets a fake Reagan quotation. It’s amusing (if a bit sad) how desperate Trump is to claim the (posthumous) approbation of a real president like Reagan.

Emergency:
This is what the Trump Admin is arguing in court today: - Health care is a privilege - Preexisting conditions can be disqualifying - Low-income patients can't be treated - Addiction treatment can't be covered - This nation is too weak to care for all citizens #ProtectOurCare
President @realDonaldTrump doesn’t believe in a free press. That’s a danger to the very core our democracy.

Were it not for the dogged investigative journalism of the @miamiherald and others, Jeffrey Epstein might never have faced consequences for decades of abuse. A free press is and always will be integral to holding power and wealth to account.
Replying to @NBCNews
WATCH: US attorney credits "some excellent investigative journalism" for helping lead to these new charges in New York against Jeffrey Epstein. The Miami Herald has led that effort, particularly its in-depth 'Perversion of Justice' series that was published in November.

Alarmingly corrupt:
Remember when a bunch of pundits tried to rewrite history and tell us that Barr is an “institutionalist” who “respects the rule of law”?
