Five years ago today, Donald Trump ignited a violent mob to attack the Capitol and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Last year, Donald Trump pardoned over 1,500 of those insurrectionists. It's an assault on American democracy.

This is insane. Trump is willing to risk the lives of American troops to enrich oil companies and inflate his ego.

Today is going to be a hard day for the Capitol Police, as the pardoned 1/6 criminals who attacked them five years ago return for a Trumpian victory lap, and they have to remain professional. Keep them in your hearts.

Every dollar of taxpayer money President Trump gives to the largest oil corporations in the world to "rebuild" Venezuela is a dollar robbed from rebuilding America.

Five years have passed since Jan. 6, but the threats that Donald Trump poses to democracy are as present as ever – underscored by his dangerous pardon of thousands of insurrectionists. (1/2)

Today is the perfect day for any Republican to condemn the January 6th insurrection—and hold Donald Trump accountable for once.

I'm never backing down. I'm going to continue holding this Administration accountable because I won't let them intimidate me or any American out of speaking their mind.

No matter how Trump’s MAGA goons now try to twist it, the January 6 attack on our Capitol was an assault on our democracy.

Freezing funds meant to help hundreds of thousands of families just because they are represented by democrats… this is what mob bosses, not presidents, do.

Five years ago today, Trump and his allies tried to overturn an election by inciting an insurrection that killed five police officers. He then began his second term by pardoning the violent rioters and his most loyal supporters. (1/2)

5 years after a violent mob sought to overturn the election, we remember the heroic law enforcement officers who bravely defended your vote and the U.S. Capitol & condemn the corrupt pardons of convicted criminals.

Five years ago, President Trump launched an angry mob at the Capitol. He and his allies led a desperate attempt to overthrow the presidential election, tried to hang his own vice president, and assaulted law enforcement, leading to the deaths of five officers.

Five years ago, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol to try to stop the certification of a free and fair election. The legacy of that attack lives on as President Trump lawlessly undermines our Constitution at every turn.

It doesn't get more wicked than this. Donald Trump is cutting $10 billion for child care and social services in Illinois and 4 other blue states. Playing politics and coming after kids because they happen to live in states that voted against him is anything but America first.

January 6, 2021 was a horrific day. Armed insurrectionists tried overturning a free and fair election. People lost their lives. But Donald Trump—and the Republican Party—still show no remorse.

Five years ago today, President Trump incited an attack on our democracy, on the peaceful transfer of power, and on our Capitol Police. Our democracy only works if we fight for it with our voices and our votes—so I'm going to fight for it.

If the Trump Admin is so confident that the science warrants changing childhood vaccines recommendations, why not follow proper procedures & prove it? The answer is simple: they can’t. Kids will die because of this decision.

This is disgusting. Trump is planning to cut off $10B in funding for child care and crucial social services in 5 blue states including New York. We should be expanding access to child care for American families. Instead, Trump is playing politics with our children’s lives.

Tomorrow, we should reflect on the attack at our Capitol, especially those of us who work in its chambers. It’s about respect. For our Constitution, our country, and the people who kept us safe.

The Trump admin's briefing on Venezuela posed far more questions than it answered When the United States engages in this kind of regime change and so-called nation building, it always ends up hurting the United States I left the briefing feeling that it would again www.youtube.com/shorts/CKAUw...

Trump’s doing mob boss politics again — this time on a global scale. He doesn’t have a plan for what comes next, just another half-baked scheme to help his friends get richer.

The American people can see for themselves how dishonest & cynical this is. Drug trafficking warrants the use of military force to topple a foreign government in one instance, and then merits Trump pardoning the former Honduran President, lawfully convicted of the same crime?

Tens of millions of Americans are now locked into sky-high health premiums, and millions are going without health insurance—all because Republicans let the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. Democrats will not stop fighting to lower health costs the American people.

Donald Trump’s promise to keep America out of foreign entanglements is now as worthless as his promise to release the Epstein Files. And it’s the American people who will pay the price.

Happy Monday, folks. The Senate is back in session, but we can’t let it be just business as usual. We’re still holding up the appropriations package to demand full funding for NCAR. We won’t let Trump continue to attack science and life-saving weather research.

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

New York is facing the highest flu levels in over 20 years as flu rates surge across America. And yet, HHS just slashed children's vaccine recommendations including the flu. RFK Jr. is putting our children in danger. He's making America sicker. And it will lead to more deaths.
