Columbia-class submarines are essential to our national security—& CT has the best workforce dedicated to building them. The talented men & women producing these submarines play a critical role in the arsenal of our democracy.

Columbia Heights Public Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik shares how DHS agents have terrorized schools & schoolchildren in Minnesota—including 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos.

Trump’s delusional denial of Jan 6 is infectious—installing a plaque honoring courageous Capitol police in the dead of night & force feeding judicial nominees canned responses. Their spineless falsehoods show they’re unfit for the federal bench, lacking independence & integrity.

Both, despite ongoing distortion & deception, have been brought to justice by courageous survivors, their families & advocates. 10

Both have caused deep, enduring harm, leaving a legacy of death & damage. All foreseeable. All preventable. 9/

THREAD: Having helped lead the state Attorney Generals in successfully suing Big Tobacco, I’m struck by similarities to winning legal strategies against Big Tech. 1/

A day that changed her family’s life—violation of rights, preplanned violence, a demolishing of safety & security. Anabel Romero demands better from our government after an immigration raid left her & her children terrified & traumatized.

Pressed by my questions, Trump’s judicial nominees give identical, nonsensical canned responses—looking ridiculous & demonstrating an abject absence of independence & integrity. Lacking a backbone now, they won’t have one on the bench.

Trump's war of whim, impulse, & delusion in Iran lacks any clear plan or purpose. I joined @allinwithchris to discuss how I'm voting NO on any supplemental bill allowing more funding for this misguided conflict, endangering our men & women in uniform.

Shamefully, they are denying women veterans who have been raped or whose health is at risk the essential health care they need.

Republicans just voted to uphold an abortion ban for 462,000 women veterans—even in cases of rape, incest, or if their health is endangered. Today, Republicans showed America they believe in abortion bans—& make no mistake, veterans will suffer as a result.

HAPPENING NOW: The Senate votes on @SenBlumenthal’s CRA resolution to overturn the Trump Administration's radical abortion ban for 462,000+ women veterans.   This dangerous policy prohibits abortion care & counseling, even in cases of rape, incest, or health endangerment.

Sickeningly, the Trump Administration has implemented an abortion ban on women veterans, even in cases of rape, incest, or health endangerment. If my Republican colleagues believe in protecting women veterans, they must support my resolution overturning this cruel policy.
