Good morning. Trump's schtick onstage is growing old. Enough with this obsession with men's anatomy. Americans know he ripped them off. They don't need to hear about it. Vote to create a new political landscape with leaders devoted to change. 💙

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

His commerce secretary tried to make us a vassal state. When Carney learned of this he shut it down immediately. We will NEVER bow down to Trump.

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.
