    As a subpoena from Special Counsel seems increasingly necessary and unavoidable, the impending threat of interference from Trump rises. Senate must approve legislation to protect Special Counsel ASAP to avoid a Constitutional crisis.

    Defying the law is destructive. Courts told Nixon, Clinton, Jefferson, and others: Subpoenas must be obeyed. No one is above the law.

    Proud that CT is leading the nation on - a model for action on our Congressional initiative to preserve an open internet. We have 50 Senators committed - only one more needed.

    Usually, the lawyer does damage control for the client, not the reverse. Giuliani pulling the President into legal quicksand. The more they twist, the deeper they go - into a pit of prevarication.

    Trump should be listening to young reformers, not mindless NRA applause for a senseless speech. He's on the wrong side of history, and the wrong side of the American people.

    Regardless of Trump's pandering to the NRA, young people are championing a new social change movement to end gun violence - sweeping the nation and saying "our blood, your hands."

    Pres. Trump squandered a golden opportunity to call for commonsense solutions to the gun violence ravaging America – instead trotting out more tired talking points and appalling excuses. This is what moral bankruptcy looks like.

    While Pres. Trump doubles down to the NRA, we redouble our fight for commonsense reforms - universal background checks, extreme risk protection orders & bans on assault weapons/high-capacity magazines.

    Pres. Trump would rather stand with the NRA - and cheer Congressional complicity in gun violence - than survivors & loved ones demanding action. His fatal fidelity to the gun lobby is despicable.

    After chastising fellow Republicans for fearing the NRA, Pres. Trump parrots their tired talking points to rapturous applause. A profile in cowardice that should outrage every American.

    If Pres. Trump truly wanted to confront gun violence, he'd use his NRA address to call for the commonsense reforms Americans want to see. I’m not holding my breath.
