great to see a Euro saying this. There's no appeasing Trump. If you kiss his ass, he knows you're a mark and he will be back for more.

Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize war.

Yet, the Trump administration is once again taking unilateral and reckless military action against Iran, putting both servicemembers and civilians in danger. This is unconstitutional.

Things have changed but I do think timing played into this. The coalition lead went on family leave Friday. I found that out when I asked her if she would talk with Heather.

We’re tracking the bill and will send out alerts tomorrow. Had a redistricting trial in Oxford start today plus 4 other legislative issues we’re working on. Not saying this isn’t a priority. It’s a horrible amendment. Just a ton of stuff on our schedule that we couldn’t postpone.

this isn't temporary. things won't just snap back. There are thousands of aggressively ignorant legislators all over the country who are going to continue pushing America into an autocracy.

the president of the united states sharing blatantly racist AI posts in the middle of the night is clear indication that that person is both demented and bigoted. And clearly, it should lead to Trump's removal from an office of such importance. We wouldn't allow this person to drive a public bus!

She moved TOWARD him. Went right at him.

She’s braver and stronger than every single MFer in power right now. Every single MFer playing dress-up in an ICE costume. Every single MFer who would call her less than or inferior.

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.

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

The Europeans are going to have bail the US out of this mess. American elites, in both parties, have been incapable of understanding what’s happening.

"The EU and the major European powers have sought to appease Trump by offering him concessions, flattery, personal gifts, and other forms of tribute. This strategy has not worked and should be abandoned immediately. Donald Trump is fundamentally a bully who wants to dominate everyone around him."

"No," said Gallego. "And I've been very clear. He is a madman. He is insane. He's only thinking about himself."

"You really think he's insane?" Cooper pressed him.

"Yes!" shouted Gallego. "I'm sorry, where are we at this moment where we don't understand what's happening in this country? The man is threatening war against a NATO ally. We all think this is rational, right? Let's accept what's happening here. He is not rational right now. He is destroying our world reputation or potentially our economic opportunity or economic might and power around the world because he is being petty."

Worth tracking down tonight's Anderson Cooper's AC360, first ten minutes, w Sen @gallego.senate.gov .

Gallego is holding nothing back. (See attached image, from this story www.rawstory.com/ruben-galleg... I heard this live.)

Text gives you the gist; worth finding video for the vibe.
