    Today  and I introduced the Know Your Home Act. This legislation would allow potential renters access to information that would protect their health from predatory landlords. I always have and I always will fight for safe housing every step of the way.

    Listen to . The President is many awful things, but when people use diagnoses & treatments such as ADHD as insults, they aren’t insulting 45 as much as they hurt the millions living with these conditions - many of whom you likely know, but may not be aware of. ⬇️

    Donald Trump has earned the scathing critiques of his rhetoric, policies, corrupt Administration & disgraceful debate performance. However, given the many descriptors at your disposal, I appeal to analysts not to say things like, he is on drugs, forgot his meds, clearly has ADHD.

    Donald Trump is a white supremacist. People have been warning about this for a long time. They were ridiculed, called hyperbolic & radical - not bc they were wrong, but bc others couldn’t accept that our country elected a supremacist as President. This is fascism at our door.

    Chris Wallace: "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down..." Trump: "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left."

    This isn’t news, Kellyanne. Our differences are exactly why I joined Biden’s Climate Unity Task Force - so we could set aside our differences & figure out an aggressive climate plan to address the planetary crisis at our feet. Trump doesn’t even believe climate change is real.

    When Republicans talk about the Green New Deal being 100 trillion dollars, please know they‘re doing that Dr. Evil thing where they shout random, escalating numbers to sound ominous. See for yourself. It’s written so you don’t need a law degree to read:

    Can we please stop calling it “the issue of race” when what we’re really discussing is “the issue of racism”

    One major promise that Trump *did* keep was to run the country like he ran his business. Unfortunately for us that means incompetently, fraudulently, and rife with bigotry + corruption 💸

    NYT is out with Part Two: Months after 'The Apprentice' premiered in 2004, Trump filed his individual tax return reporting $89.9 million in net losses. The red ink spilled from everywhere, even as TV viewers saw him as a savvy business mogul.

    The nerve of people who ask “how are you going to pay for it?” whenever we propose building advanced public education, healthcare, & climate infrastructure yet defend a system where Trump pays $750 in taxes and Amazon pays none is beyond me.

    Last year Republicans blasted a firehose of hatred + vitriol my way because I treated myself to a $250 cut & lowlights on my birthday. Where’s the criticism of their idol spending $70k on hairstyling? Oh, it’s nowhere because they’re spineless, misogynistic hypocrites? Got it.

    "$70,000 in hairstyling for television"

    In 2016 & ‘17, I paid thousands of dollars a year in taxes *as a bartender.* Trump paid $750. He contributed less to funding our communities than waitresses & undocumented immigrants. Donald Trump has never cared for our country more than he cares for himself. A walking scam.

    Exclusive: The Times has obtained tax-return data for President Trump extending over more than two decades. It shows his finances under stress, beset by losses that he aggressively employs to avoid paying taxes and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.
