Trump has admitted to a gross abuse of power.
— Rep. Barbara Lee (@RepBarbaraLee) September 25, 2019
He has no respect for the rule of law, and he's actively trying to undermine our elections.
It's time to impeach. https://t.co/IMMj1P6TjF

Also, Too
It’s crystal clear: Trump himself undermined our democracy and asked a foreign country to attack a potential political opponent. Enough. The House has a Constitutional duty to begin impeachment proceedings.

ICE is training agents for "urban warfare." There is absolutely no reason for ICE to use military tactics on our streets.

Trump and his reckless Administration are using taxpayer dollars to terrorize black and brown communities. Enough. https://t.co/D93dLvcd4S

Greta Is Right
“This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you come to us young people for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.” -- Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, speaking to the U.N. General Assembly

Betsy DeVos has betrayed our students and teachers at every turn – her failure to handle the student loan forgiveness program is just the most recent example. It's long past time for her to resign. #ResignDeVos https://t.co/N5CpXpVQko

The world is facing a climate crisis and while Republicans continue to ignore calls for action, @GretaThunberg has lead a generation in fighting for their futures. I’m inspired by everyone marching in the climate strike today.

The Trump administration is denying LGBTQ* couples like Adiel and Roee from passing their citizenship onto their children because they’re “born out of wedlock.” This outrageous policy dehumanizes and delegitimizes LGBTQ* families.pic.twitter.com/wLr9MOKYrn

Governor Newsom is right. If Trump is serious about addressing homelessness, he needs to quit the cuts to programs that keep people housed and invest in the things we know help families keep a roof over their heads. https://t.co/knA0hRtQkE

Mitch McConnell rushed the confirmation process to protect Kavanaugh, robbing the American people of a thorough investigation into the allegations. It’s never been clearer that he never should have been confirmed. #BelieveSurvivors https://t.co/28CrE64nsH

By refusing to #ActOnClimate, Trump and the Republicans are failing our children and threatening their safety. Greta is right – it's time to stop burying our heads in the sand and get serious about stopping #ClimateChange. https://t.co/2QE3tURy1D

Health care is a basic human right, but under the Trump administration the number of uninsured people has skyrocketed from 2 million to 27 million. It’s reckless endangerment. https://t.co/8dWbgbWMzW

As the first African American and first woman to co-chair the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, I know it’s not enough to just legalize marijuana. Including social equity and criminal justice reform is vital to our agenda.https://t.co/B8WlujDT6k

Climate change will deepen the racial divide in ways we least expect. In this case, thousands of children in low-income areas whose schools don’t have air conditioning will suffer more than their white, wealthy counterparts. https://t.co/DN22fkkRGJ

If Trump wants to try and revoke California’s power to set critical pollution standards, he’ll have to take us to court. Proud to support Governor @GavinNewsom in this fight.https://t.co/tPdh6T9U9b

Without organized labor, we wouldn’t have:

✅ a minimum wage
✅ workplace safety protections
✅ overtime pay
On #LaborDay (and every day!), we celebrate our union brothers and sisters in the struggle for economic justice. I stand with you in that fight.
Happy Labor Day!
