Trump and Elon Musk have wiped out the national database of police misconduct. Nearly 150,000 records of misconduct by federal officers erased, like it never happened.  Why would Trump get rid of the database he created? Because Trump will drastically scale back police accountability to appease right-wing TV and X commentators. After George Floyd was killed in 2020, Trump—and the country—had a moment of reckoning. We couldn’t turn a blind eye anymore.

In response, Trump issued an executive order that reflected best practices in policing to keep officers and communities safe and hold officers who violate people’s civil rights accountable.

Even the Heritage Foundation said, “it was welcome news in troubled times.”

While Republicans start their work tonight on a bill to cut your Social Security and Medicare benefits, Democrats are working to make your life better, safer, and more affordable.

Here are 10 of the amendments I filed to the Republican budget bill 🧵 I filed an amendment to make sure your kids can get healthy meals at school. Republicans oppose it.

Today is day two of the confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and as the Senate moves through this process, I want to reiterate my support for her nomination. We are on the path of breaking barriers for a brighter future in America. I am so excited for this moment and hopeful for what’s to come.

We’re just 22 days away from Election Day—in the middle of an ongoing election, when millions of people have already started voting—@SenateGOP are afraid of the truth: that they might not be able to get away with their Supreme Court nominee after the American people have spoken. Senate Republicans know that the American people don’t want the Affordable Care Act to be overturned. They know that even the majority of Republicans support provisions of the ACA like protecting people with pre-existing conditions.

55 years ago today, 600 civil rights activists began marching from Selma to Montgomery to protest racialized disenfranchisement & violence. They were met with blows of billy clubs from state troopers & had dogs set on them—now-Congressman John Lewis had his skull cracked open. 1/ By the next day, this country & the entire world saw on the news what these marchers had done in the name of equality & justice.

That day is known as Bloody Sunday—& the courage of those protesters compelled action & inspired change. Later that summer the VRA became law. 2/

As I prepare for an oath to “do impartial justice,” I’m thinking of our nation’s Founders & why they created an impeachment mechanism.

Their thoughts must guide us through this somber time. See how they’ll be guiding me—I annotated their works, using @Genius. Check it out ⬇️ @Genius Here’s the impeachment process as outlined in our Constitution. These provisions will help define this trial: booker.senate.gov/impeachment_pr…

The outpouring of advocacy & activism in opposition to Mr. Farr’s federal judicial nomination is not about politics. It’s not about partisanship. It’s not about about right or left—it’s about right & wrong. #StopFarr washingtonpost.com/politics/gillu… The facts are clear: Mr. Farr has repeatedly worked to advance a very specific, very extreme, anti-democratic agenda—one aimed at turning back the clock, and eroding civil rights, workers’ rights and anti-discrimination protections.

The nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is alarming & I’m strongly opposed to his confirmation. #ScotusPick Right off the bat, this nomination couldn’t get any swampier—Kavanaugh is a partisan Republican, who worked for Kenneth Starr during the Clinton impeachment & in the George W. Bush White House.

As a new member of the Senate Judiciary Committee – I will make it my mission to stand up to Jeff Sessions & President Trump.

And I won't rest until there is liberty & justice for all. Thread 👇🏽 In the words of Martin Luther King Jr. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

I hope to continue his march towards justice serving on the Judiciary Committee.
