The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down β€” and neither should you.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves β€” strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security β€” we would likely consider it an act of war.

Integrity has defined my brother’s service to our nation, as a combat veteran, astronaut, and US Senator. Any effort to undermine that is an abuse of power.

There is nothing more American than standing up for the Constitution. And that's something Donald Trump will never understand.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit β€” all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Two days ago, signing a petition to release the Epstein files was a treasonous act. Only 4 House Republicans were willing to do it. They were pressured, threatened and harassed by Trump to remove their name.

Tomorrow, they are all going to vote for it.

Spineless cowards.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

If you look at Trump's actions through the eyes of "what would I do if I was a criminal organization" it all makes a lot of sense.

Not sure who needs to hear this but nick fuentes is human garbage and the Nazis are burning in hell.

Also Russia was on the Nazis side until 1941

It’s bad enough to flatter the boss as a requirement for employment. But it’s even worse to sell out your fellow Oregonians along the way.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?

Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.

Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.
