Donald Trump was impeached for pressuring a foreign government to interfere in our election. That's why I'm not at his #SOTU tonight—I'm with voters in New Hampshire, talking about how we're going to make our government work for them.
These are hard times for our country. Tomorrow it looks like Republicans will continue to protect an out-of-control president rather than uphold the Constitution. #SOTU
But the character of our country—and the state of our union—aren’t determined by Trump. They’re determined by our people, and we’re stronger than Donald Trump. Now more than ever, we must choose courage and hope over fear. #SOTU
Now is our moment to choose the future we can build together. Now is our moment to get out there and fight from the heart. Because that is how we will save our democracy and save our country. #SOTU
I know many people are starting to feel discouraged. But we are at our best when we take on big battles and fight for our country and our families. If you’re worried or frustrated—and want to do something—join our campaign. Let’s fight back together. #SOTU ewar.ren/chip-in-3

We have a gun violence problem in America, and it’s often communities of color that are hit hardest. We need to treat it like the public health emergency that it is. #DemDebate
Why can we not even get a vote in the United States Senate on background checks? Because the gun industry continues to call the shots. #DemDebate
Until we roll back the filibuster, the gun industry is going to continue to have a veto and we'll never make the changes. We have to be willing to build a future that works not for a gun industry—but works for the rest of America and protects our children. #DemDebate

My brothers look at things and say, “That’s not right.” The question is how do those guys get off the hook. The answer? Corruption. If we make that case in 2020, and fight against the most corrupt president in history, that’s how we win. #WarrenTownHall
Corruption drives my family crazy. And I think it drives people across this country crazy—whether they’re Democrats, Republicans, Independents. Because they understand that it’s not right for people to use their power to get the rules re-written in their favor. #WarrenTownHall
We have an America where the GDP keeps going up, so does the stock market and corporate profits—but hardworking families have virtually flat wages and rising costs for health care, housing, and child care. We’ve got to change that—that’s why I’m in this fight. #WarrenTownHall.

Donald Trump pressured a foreign government to interfere in our election. He undermined our diplomatic relationships and put our national security at risk. He exploits our government for his personal gain—and Republicans just voted to protect him.
These are hard times. People are frustrated and angry—but we must not be discouraged. Now more than ever, we must choose courage and hope over fear. Now is our moment to fight back. We have defeated corruption before, and we will do it again.
We can defeat Donald Trump and root out corruption in Washington. We can defeat his hate and bigotry, and build a country of our best values. We can make sure our country works for everyone, not just his wealthy, well-connected cronies. And we can only do it together.

A "Great American Comeback" should involve fighting for justice, equity and peace.

Not instigating wars, trade wars or closing the border.

Tonight, Donald Trump will deliver #SOTU, marking just over three years since he took office. Since his first year in office, 58 people were killed at a concert in Las Vegas and 25 people, including a pregnant woman, were killed at a church in Texas.
During Trump’s second year, 17 people were killed at a school in Parkland Shooting and 12 were killed at a country-western bar in California. And during one weekend in Trump’s third year, 22 people were killed at a Walmart in El Paso and 9 were killed at a bar in Dayton. #SOTU
All told, at least 100,000 Americans have been killed by guns since Trump took office––twice that many wounded––in mass shootings, daily gun violence, unintentional gun violence, and gun suicide. And yet, he has consistently stood in the way of gun safety legislation. #SOTU

The House Judiciary Committee is set to hear evidence from the on-going impeachment investigation into President Trump. Watch it here, and follow along for our live analysis:
c-span.org/video/?467123-…
As @RepJerryNadler just noted, the White House was invited to participate in these hearings, but rejected the invitation.
That probably won't stop Trump and his defenders from claiming that Trump is being denied due process, though.

A decade or so ago, I wrote a friend of the Court brief in a case involving restrictions on stating positions by candidates for judgeships. I'll go look the case up if you insist.
In any event, I argued in my brief that limiting judicial candidates from making political statements as part of their campaigns not only violated the right to freedom of speech, it also unfairly benefit incumbent judge candidates.
Incumbent appellate court judges had the benefit of being able to render decisions in cases during the campaign season, and thereby communicate to the public on matters of great importance: corruption, crime, etc.

Interesting on its own, this story about how Russian trolls pushed vaccine debates in the US includes several other key points that are worth examining. THREAD
www-m.cnn.com/2018/08/23/hea…
First of all, it's fascinating to me just from the standpoint of how even the most absurd propositions can draw wide audiences, when thinking people should be able to dismiss them out of hand. 2/
Second, the fact that we will argue ad inifinitum about subjects that don't deserve a second look is a serious indictment of something - either our inherently American contrariness or the ground-leveling effect social media has. 2/
