I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Nope. Son of Holocaust survivor. My father was 11 when the Nazis invaded his hometown in eastern Poland. He survived only by fleeing to a different city with a false baptismal certificate. The comparison is apt. Carry on.

The attack on Rep. Omar tonight was a despicable act of political violence and intimidation.

I am glad Rep. Omar is OK, and I thank USCP and local police for their quick action to apprehend the suspect.

Berlin honours Levi family with memorial 'stumbling stone' plaques On Holocaust Remembrance Day, the victims of the Nazi regime are commemorated throughout Germany. At the same time, anti-semitism in the western European country and across the continent is rising at an alarming rate.

Trump's relentless bullying of Ukraine presented as a "peace process" is making us sound like broken records. Like, how many times do we have to say that asking Ukraine to withdraw from its most fortified region in exchange for another useless Budapest memorandum offer is a dumb proposition?

I’ve often wondered how many sitting members of Congress have actually read the Constitution that they’ve sworn to “support and defend.”

Think you have to retire the phrase “immigration crackdown” when every major violent spectacle — at least those the news is choosing to highlight — involve US citizens screaming “Check my ID!”

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship.

We good with that, America?

I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

AOC: They are sending ICE into the streets. They’re invading other countries. They are tweeting crazy shit. But what they’re not doing is lowering the price of groceries…

Harper's Letter folks are being kind of shy lately about free speech issues. Maybe they are writing an extra long letter this time.

Lutherans when riled:

And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

I mean … it’s hard to cast about for some reasonable justification for this scenario. Start to finish.

It’s anti-constitutional. It’s clearly illegal. It’s morally degenerate.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

ACA Tax Credits give so many families in Nevada the support they need to afford health care. I’ve heard from so many southern Nevadans who worry that they’re only one policy decision away from losing everything that’s keeping their family afloat…

I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

“At this moment in time of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

It’s hard to wrap your mind around it because of how callous it is.

But that’s what White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt actually said. Out loud. To press. Proudly.
