Under our Constitution, the power to commence war lies with Congress, not the president and certainly not Saudi Arabia. We don’t take orders from foreign powers.
Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!

Why don't you just use the n-word and get it over with? You're almost there and you clearly want to.
Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA......

We have long had ugly margins in this country, but we are a fundamentally decent people, with shared values. We treasure our identity as a nation of immigrants. With our voices and our 2020 votes, we must send Donald Trump and his mob back to their dark corner.

The mediocrity is astounding. How would these guys like it if Gov was 80% female, constantly looking for ways to limit or outlaw condoms + vasectomies, yet had little/no medical context? Sounds crazy? The flipside is what women & LGBTQ+ people have to deal w/ ALL the time. 🤦🏽‍♀️
Sec. Acosta didn’t know women use contraceptives to treat medical conditions, but is still trying to limit our access to birth control. He didn’t know junk plans don’t protect people with pre-existing conditions, but he’s trying to expand them anyway. Not 👏🏾 on 👏🏾my 👏🏾 watch!

President Trump is about to speak at the NRA's annual convention. Instead of watching him pander to the gun lobby, take a minute to remember just a few of the young Americans we've lost to gun violence since Parkland.

Millions of Americans—including 590,000 Mainers—suffer from a pre-existing condition such as asthma, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, & heart disease. I profoundly disagree with the Administration’s decision not to defend the ACA in court.

This from @AyannaPressley was a powerful moment yesterday, too ⬇️
While my father was in the throes of his substance abuse disorder & in and out of the criminal justice system, our entire family was serving time with him. Incarceration is a shared sentence for families.
