#CitizensUnited 2.0: Early in his term, Trump promised to “totally destroy” the Johnson Amendment, which would eliminate the restriction on churches (and charities) engaging in electioneering activity. The move would unleash a flood of new Dark Money into our elections.

The #GOPTaxScam: It was rammed through committees without any time for debate. Then @SenateMajLdr made massive changes that were never considered through regular order. And of course, the Senate used “reconciliation” to circumvent a Democratic filibuster.

Senate Republicans’ ridiculous process is going to work, and they are going to pass this tax bill

"There has never been a more outrageous, revolting, unfair process to pass a corrupted bill in the history of Congress."

@realDonaldTrump

is a cruel man — a bigoted demagogue who sees the political payoff in scapegoating. In his self-absorbed megalomania, he is incapable of empathy, and he's built an administration in his own image. Today’s Trumpy nominations are for Cruelest Action:

The judges recognize a raft of other possible contenders, but after great deliberation, the final four nominees for “Cruelest Action” are: 1) The #MuslimBan 2) Medicaid Work Requirements: Bigotry Against the Poor 3) Nursing Home Abuse 4) The Assault on Immigrants: #DACA and #TPS

The #MuslimBan is motivated exclusively by anti-Muslim animus. What a horrible statement this makes to the world, and what a despicable message to the millions of Muslim-Americans who face an increased risk of violence directly as a result of the president’s actions.

The Trump administration's decision to impose Medicaid work requirements is stupid, illegal and incredibly cruel. It denies that health care is a right, will lead to needless death and suffering and promotes the shameful bigotry of health care denial based on wealth.

Trump pulled back the Obama administration's move to impose fines on nursing homes engaged in wrongdoing. The new guidelines discourage regulators from levying fines — even when the wrongdoing has resulted in a resident’s death. nytimes.com/2017/12/24/bus

Trump’s efforts to rescind #DACA, coupled with his move to end #TPS for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have relocated to the US in the wake of emergencies in their home countries, prove he’s turning America the beautiful into America the cruel. chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/h

This is a mean-spirited administration. It combines a callous indifference to the poor, a contempt for the sick, a disregard for the truth, naked self-interest and the most virulent racism, sexism, and anti-immigrant sentiment in a presidential administration in living memory.
