Following the disastrous NATO summit & @realDonaldTrump labeling our European allies “foes,” he buddies up again to his favorite dictator – Putin. Never before has a sitting President met with his Russian counterpart from such a position of weakness. #TrumpPutin
It’s disgraceful that @POTUS is parroting Russian propaganda in #Helsinki. He repeats Putin’s lies while disregarding the unanimous conclusion from our own Intelligence Community and ignoring DOJ’s indictment of 12 Russian spies who interfered in the election to help him win.
Today was a shameful, dark day in our nation’s history. @POTUS is selling out our country, weakening our democracy, and siding with those who seek to do us harm. Instead of praising Putin, our President should be holding him accountable.

The President’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh will propel our nation’s highest court in a dangerous direction for generations. He passes Trump’s anti-choice ‘litmus test’ w/ flying colors & will likely help end #RoevWade, rolling back decades of hard-fought reproductive freedoms
#WhatsAtStake? Protections for people w/ pre-existing health conditions, voting rights, workers’ rights, & LGBTQ equality. I urge my Senate colleagues to oppose this nomination.
The President should find a candidate who reflects mainstream values and respects the fundamental rights of all Americans. #SaveSCOTUS

When given a seat at the table, women are agents of change, especially when it comes to peace & security negotiations. Proud that my amendment w/@USRepKeating passed today – it will build on the Women, Peace & Security Act & help amplify women's voices in global peace building.
Specifically, it would:
1. Integrate gender perspectives into our military missions
2. Assist countries in incorporating women into their security efforts
3. Fund research on women's contributions to security efforts @DeptofDefense
Let’s encourage women to pull up a chair and take a seat at the table. Our world will be safer if they’re able to raise their voices!

Just toured Port Isabel ICE Detention Center in TX. It was horrifying, shocking & very eye-opening. Thread to follow....
We met with 20-30 women who were in hysterics & don't know where their kids are. Some had been there for over a month & haven’t had the option to see a lawyer.
One woman had her child taken on June 6. She was told it would just be for 48 hours because she was going to court. Then her child was gone. Since then she has only spoken to daughter once and doesn’t know where she is.

🌟🇺🇸 ONE MORE DAY. 🇺🇸🌟

An artist's perspective. Beginning 8 Nov 2016 many of us were stunned as our Democracy seemed to be turned upside down by tumultuous events surrounding the election. Like many, I was numbed & disoriented by the apparent UNBELIEVABILITY of the outcome.1/x
🌟🇺🇸 ONE MORE DAY. 🇺🇸🌟 2

Today, more than 2 years later, I review pivotal events which led to this day... ONE MORE DAY... before 116 Congress convenes - & brings our citizens, our allies, & world into a full realization of criminality which threatens democratic rule of law.
🌟🇺🇸 ONE MORE DAY. 🇺🇸🌟 3

Like many, the election launched me into a quest for answers about WHAT WAS HAPPENING to our democratic process! The immediate & potent public reaction of outrage, protest, resistance town halls were stunning evidence that I was not alone in my resolve

#NATO summit: NATO leaders united in approving plans to bolster defenses against #Russia. (Earlier Trump slammed allies, called Germany "captive of Russia" b/c of energy deal. Actually, Russia needs that energy deal more than Germany) - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/world/europe/t…
FACT CHECK: Russia accounts for less than 20% of Germany’s energy needs

Trump falsely claimed Germany gets up to 70% of its energy from and is therefore “captive to Russia.” Nowhere near the truth, even w/ NordStream2 pipeline. snappytv.com/tc/8449919/592… #NATO #NATOsummit
#Russia's pipeline to #Germany that Trump seems to be so mad about, explained - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/news/worldview… #NATO #NATOsummit #NordStream2

.@realDonaldTrump, call off your summit with Putin. A British woman is dead of a horrific poisoning, linked to ex-spy #Skripal poisoning just months ago. #Putin is not fine. He's responsible for this and other murders. America doesn't need to make deals with murderers. #Wiltshire
@realDonaldTrump Sturgess murder by chemical weapon is yet another attack against NATO allies by Russia/Russian proxies approved and/or ordered by Putin. And election manipulation for Brexit and Trump. These facts alone warrant calling off Putin Summit. Imagine if a Muslim migrant had killed her.
@realDonaldTrump And this: Putin critic #Glushkov found strangled at his London home the day he was due in court in case against Russia's state-run airline Aeroflot

#Putin is not fine. #Russia under Putin is not fine. A summit now rewards & encourages a murderous regime.

The #President exhibited a sterling example of international leadership by withdrawing from the broken #IranNuclearDeal. Its the right decision for our safety & the safety of the world, to remove ourself from a deal that leads to a fully nuclear #Iran. #IranDealWithdrawl
World community gnashed their teeth + grumbled when Mr. #Trump moved our #embassy from #TelAviv to #Jerusalem. Now, they're getting behind that decision. I think it will be no different here. #Europe will follow @realDonaldTrump lead on #IranNuclearDeal. #IranDealWithdrawl
There is a 90 day "cooling-off" period before #sanctions are re-imposed on #Iran that will allow #Europe to come back to the negotiating table with us, which will allow them time to save face. #IranDealWithdrawl #IranNuclearDeal #IranDeal

#Europe "an increasingly complex & competitive security environment," SACEUR/@US_EUCOM Commander Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti tells #SASC in opening statement
"Our adaptation to the environment has made significant progress...particularly under the European Deterrence Initiative" per Gen Scaparrotti, calling it "the largest reinforcement of Euro-Atlantic Defense in a generation"
Gen Scaparrotti also says @NATO alliance "is strong" and that "European allies & #Canada have turned a corner on defense spending with increases in each of the past 3 years" adding $46 billion to defense spending

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
