I disdain Trump, but this isn’t a happy day. It’s not good for Congress to confirm we have an unfit President who abused and continues to abuse his power & obstruct Congress. Today is about fealty to Constitutional checks & balances, which distinguish us from most of the world 🇺🇸

No secret, I abhor Trump. But, Impeachment brings me no joy. It’s a somber historical moment. This shouldn’t be about politics, or timing. It’s about preserving integrity of our democratic institutions. It’s about Constitutional checks and balances. It’s about right and wrong. 🇺🇸

Some attack: Mueller, decorated war vet who earned Bronze Star, Purple Heart Taylor, decorated war vet who earned Purple Heart Kelly, 4-star General, decorated war vet, dad of a fallen soldier Vinland, decorated war vet who earned Purple Heart Yet, defend a draft-dodger.

Here is a thought about the G-7. Philadelphia. Let’s assemble the leaders of the great Democracies in the cradle of the American Republic. Let the ghosts of the founders hover over the miscreant President and Constitutional vandal on full view in front of the world .

"I’m not just an overrated general. I’m the most overrated general," Mattis says. "I'm honored to be considered that by Donald Trump because he also called Meryl Streep an overrated actress. So I guess I'm the Meryl Streep of generals, and frankly that sounds pretty good to me."

Say “hello” to the newest judge on “Dancing with the Stars!” #grumpylenisgone

Trump Doral in Miami in June sounds like a great place to hold G-7...during Hurricane Season. Average temp, 90 degrees. Total coincidence a hotel losing money, owned by Trump, is deemed the “perfect” venue. What conflict? What Emoluments clause violation? Nothing to see here.

Have no respect for all these Republicans finally speaking out against Trump & crying over the Kurds. For 3 yrs u defended the indefensible, justified the unjustifiable. Or u played dumb, stayed in complicit silence. U enabled & empowered him. Spare us the new-found outrage.

It’s been debated for the better part of 4 yrs in gop circles the damage that Trump is capable of doing to our nat. security - the consensus among gop elected officials and national security types is US can survive 4 years but not 8. This would be the moment to say that out loud

It’s difficult to do given the velocity of Trump’s deranged behavior but if you take a bit of time to pause and think about his actions it is an enormously sad moment for our country and the institution of the presidency.

I will calm down when the corrupt, pathological liar, narcissist, mysoginist who peddles racism and threatens American values domestically and America’s standing internationally, is out of the White House. Until then...I will be offended. I will be outraged. I will speak out.🇺🇸

Regardless of who you support, there’s three women, two African-Americans, one Asian, one Latino, an openly gay veteran, a child of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, a Jewish guy, a vegan, and even a couple of straight, white guys on that stage. Like it or not, this is America. 🇺🇸

For signs of trade war strains in the labor market look no further than today’s layoff announcement report: over 10k due to “trade difficulties” w/another 2k YTD due to “tariffs”. Also: 405 related to the “steel downturn.” bloom.bg/2lG0CiE

Remember when the GOP was the pro-military Party? Imagine what Republicans would be saying if Obama had diverted $3.7 BILLION from military projects for a personal vanity project. Instead, w/few exceptions, like @MikeLeeforUtah & @MittRomney, they remain in complicit silence.

If you’re supporting presidential candidates who promise to govern like a king, beware of what you pray for

If Pence wants to suck-up to his boss, he should do it with his own damn money, not ours.

Is it so hard to elect a President who: - is not a pathological liar - is not a serial sexual assaulter - is not a racist - is mentally stable - is not a schoolyard bully with a smartphone - reads, writes and speaks at a level higher than 1st grade - AND is not owned by the NRA?

You narcissistic boob. They are Americans bracing for a storm, while still recovering from the devastation of Maria. Everyone of the ground and FEMA needs to focus on preparation and safety. It’s not about you. Stop, just stop!
