Credit where due - Jonathan Swan, the cream of the cop and someone we are so fortunate is our colleague now, has been reporting assiduously on what a Trump White House would look like in 2025 since June 2022 axios.com/2022/07/22/tru…

1/27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We pay tribute to the victims--6 million Jews, a people decimated, a culture built up over thousands of years destroyed, Europe emptied of much of its Jewish population. The Nazis tried to destroy the Roma and Sinti, too. 1/

2/ And let's not forget that the Nazi gassing program started in Germany itself with the physically and mentally handicapped. The Nazis and their collaborators refused to acknowledge the humanity of the Jews.

3/ That is why Jews especially cannot forget, diminish or deny the humanity of others. We cannot, we dare not become guilty of what destroyed so many of our precious people, as well as millions of others.

The second effort to impeach Sec'y Mayorkas is disgraceful, as was the first. Impeachment is designed to protect against an abuse of power that threatens our democracy. There is no evidence of that. None. The House is abusing its own power by impeaching for political reasons.

#AlexeiNavalny, a courageous fighter for democracy in Russia, sadly died at the hands of Putin, but Republicans in the House wouldn't stand up to Putin over Ukraine and fled home for vacation. Putin will try to kill our democracy too by continuing to support his puppet #Trump.

The House managers who delivered the impeachment articles to the Senate for #HHSSecretary Mayorkas were a sorry sight. The impeachment violates the Constitution. There was no evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors and it passed with a one vote margin after failing at first.

The guilty verdict against Trump shows how justice can be done. The jury was not intimidated. The judge was highly professional. The prosecutors presented a meticulous case. Trump's name calling got him nowhere. I'm so proud of New York City today.

@PresidenBiden, whom I have known since we both came to Washington in 1973, made a very brave and difficult decision yesterday. I honor him for it. He acted selflessly, in the interest of his country and all Americans. Joe, we are grateful for your amazing presidency.

From the first woman elected DA in NYC to the first woman elected DA in San Francisco who became the first woman vice president of the US, Vice President JD Vance "Go, girl, go!" You have the guts, strength, compassion and smarts to defeat Trump and make America's promise work for everyone.

Just compare Kamala's smile Vice President JD Vance to Trump's scowl and glowering face. It tells the whole story in a nutshell. The choice is between her hope and joy and Trump's anger and hate. The Harris-Walz ticket will triumph.

In condemning former Rep Matt Gaetz, the House Ethics report also implicitly condemns Donald Trump. In naming Gaetz as his pick for Attorney General, Trump showed his contempt for the rule of law and for the American people who deserve law abiding Cabinet officers.

I want to honor Jimmy Carter today for his steadfast support as president for women's rights, refugee rights and human rights. He was a principled, dedicated man, and it was a privilege to work as a Congresswoman with him on these issues. My deepest condolences to his family.

As a proud Jew, who began the effort to bring Nazi war criminals living in the US to justice and whose family sheltered Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia, I condemn Israel's handling of Gaza. Starvation of the children and civilians is hateful and must stop. Shame on Israel.

Another illegal and unconstitutional action by Trump, this time capturing the President of Venezuela and claiming the power to "operate" Venezuela. This action is really designed to enrich Trump himself and US oil companies at a great cost to US taxpayers and the rule of law.
