Trump has had a white nationalist agenda since Day 1. My trip to the US-Mexico border showed us exactly how his administration has been working to keep people from “s**thole” countries out of America.

These cruel & bigoted policies have no place in a nation built by immigrants.

The amount of gun violence in this country is beyond alarming. Every other developed country that has experienced tragedy has taken action to stop it from happening again. It's past time for Mitch McConnell to do his job! #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/PX9GfwGOQ3

I’ve spent my career fighting to legalize marijuana and provide restorative justice to communities of color. This bill is HUGE and I’m proud that key tenets from my own legislation have been included to help correct the wrongs of the failed #WarOnDrugs.https://t.co/13iLf9rYJY

Stephen Miller has used his position in the White House to push a dangerous and discriminatory white nationalist agenda. From family separation to ending DACA, his legacy is one of pain and suffering.

58% say they're following impeachment hearings closely
70% say it was wrong to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival (i.e., the call was not "perfect")https://t.co/U4wSiRx26N

Ambassador Yovanovitch fought corruption for decades. Trump removed her to set the stage for his campaign to bribe Ukraine and to cheat his way in the 2020 election. #DefendOurDemocracy https://t.co/4kwQJrj4Ej

We will win this fight. https://t.co/IsaUGxHruz

Lots of big wins for Democrats last night! Let’s carry this energy all the way to 2020 and elect even more Democrats up and down the ballot — from the school board to the White House.

#OTD in 1968, my mentor, the unbossed and unbought Shirley Chisholm, became the first African American woman elected to Congress. She was an inspiration and dear friend. I miss her tremendously, but I'll keep fighting for her legacy with my sisters in Congress ✊🏾 pic.twitter.com/ca5FwLLo93

As the White House continues to plunge our country into chaos, remember: it is up to us to make America stronger. Register to vote, run for office, get involved in electoral politics, peacefully protest, and keep holding elected officials accountable.
