America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Yes, calling your Members of Congress still matters.

Tell your GOP representative to vote NO on Trump’s Tax Scam: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Or send an email if you can’t get anyone on the phone: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Van Hollen statement on Trump decision to attack Iran.

Van Hollen statement on Trump decision to attack Iran.

Trump said he would end wars. Tonight, he dragged us into one. His decision violates the Constitution, endangers American lives and risks unleashing dangerous forces we can’t control.

My full statement:

This is an insanely reckless move with terrifyingly massive consequences, and it's happening without congressional approval.

Stop the needless, endless war.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court.

A FEDERAL JUDGE said β€œno evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.

Guaranteed there's another Abrego Garcia on this 2nd plane to a foreign prison. There's another gay make-up artist with no police record. There's another man with an autism awareness tattoo. Not exactly these people, but similar.

This is not due process. This is not deportation. This is fascism.

AOC: I heard that someone was flying a plane with a banner that said this is Trump country… It sure don’t look like it today.

I don’t think this is Trump country. This is our country.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

This Is a Constitutional Crisis
YouTube video by Sen. Adam Schiff This Is a Constitutional Crisis

The constitutional crisis is here.

The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said β€œWe did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here β€” and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

β€œThese are normal, everyday people who are saying I’ve had enough. I’ve seen institutions fall. I’ve seen universities, I’ve seen businesses, I’ve seen law firms not stand up, not support our liberal democracy. So what am I going to do as an individual?”

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me
