For those still thinking about voting for Donald Trump in November, a few questions to consider:
1/ If Donald Trump offered you the opportunity to invest in his next private business, would you take it?
2/ If Donald Trump offered to deliver an envelope of your cash to the bank on your behalf, would you trust him?
3/ If Donald Trump offered to write a condolence card to a deceased family member, would you expect it to be thoughtful or empathetic?
4/ If Donald Trump wanted to join your book club, would you expect him to do the reading, or suggest any good reads?
5/ If Donald Trump offered to baby sit your daughters, would you let him?
6/ If Donald Trump applied to be a beat cop in your neighborhood, would you expect him to treat all citizens equally?
Now ask whether any of those questions make you as squeamish with any other recent President or Presidential candidate.
A man who you know you would not trust with even the most basic human courtesies and trusts should never have access to the wealth and power of the United States. Now go vote. /fin

This is the kind of nonsense that happens when you replace a political party with a clown show. Let’s unpack this a bit: Image
1. FISA is a bill that was created in the aftermath of 9/11 to allow our intelligence agencies to better monitor communications from bad guys even if they are communicating on new communication networks and/or with US nationals. It was in place through the Trump administration.
2. As with any surveillance bill, there are balances between US civil liberties to be factored in and we have rules to protect. That is a conversation one could have. But that’s not the point of today’s clown-o-rama.

The presumptive @GOP nominee for President is desperate for $464M (and counting) which he cannot personally access. That fact alone makes him a massive national security risk; any foreign adversary seeking to buy a President knows the price.
We already lack clarity on what security was provided for the $91M bond he posted in response to the E. Jean Carroll case. That is already a plenty BFD. A guy who wants your trust and wants to be President should disclose his liabilities. nytimes.com/2024/03/08/nyr…
Indeed, all of us who run for Congress or serve are required to post regular reports of our assets and liabilities. The fact that we don't know this about someone running for the highest office in the land shifts the liability onto our democracy itself.

OK so let’s talk about the TikTok vote today. Because the amount of woefully misinformed calls and social media outreach over the last two days PROVES that we had a problem. Thread:
1. 1st, we DID NOT BAN” TikTok today. We voted to require Bytedance to sell TikTok if TikTok is going to continue to operate in the US. Bytedance is heavily influenced by the Chinese Communist Party, and does not share how they use your data, or how they promote content you see.
2. Bytedance thus has an opportunity to make a lot of money. US media has a chance to be free of foreign influence. US TikTok users have a chance to trust that their information is not being weaponized against them. That’s it.

This clip in Politico this morning is a good reminder that for at least a generation, Washington has never really worked when the @GOP was in charge. Let's review, shall we? Image
1. First, just look at who they pick for Speaker of the House - 2nd in line to the Presidency. The current guy is supported by hate groups and white nationalists. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2023…
2. The guy before him was Kevin McCarthy. No reason to talk much about the shortest-tenured speaker in history who - when the going got tough, quit.

I'm proud of @GovPritzker for doing this. And cannot believe the inhumanity of @GregAbbott_TX that he made this necessary. There is no religious or moral framework I am aware of that curses the stranger in need. But that is exactly what Abbott would have us do. Thread:
1. First, understand that the migrants being sent to IL and elsewhere are not "illegal". They have come here seeking asylum, have had their applications reviewed and are awaiting adjudication. During that period, they are free to travel around the country.
2. Their stories are the stories of all Americans. Some are fleeing religious persecution, some from gang violence, some from natural disasters. All looking for a better life and prepared to contribute to the US economy.

On this fourth anniversary of January 6th, let's have a brief discussion about the Constitution, architecture and what we collectively have to do to make sure 1/6 never happens again. Thread:
1. First, the Constitution. We talk about 3 co-equal branches, but the legislative branch was arguably the most important in our founders vision. Article 1 is the longest section of the Constitution. It's the only one directly elected by the people.
2. It has the power of the purse. The power to declare war. The power to remove officials from the Article 2 and Article 3 branches. And at the time of our founding it was where all the people were.
