For those keeping score at home: The President refused to invoke the Defense Production Act to mobilize and save lives quickly against COVID-19. But he didn't hesitate to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy the military on American streets against protests.

Watching Trump preen in front of St. John’s, moments after he threatened to deploy the American military against the American people, with a bible held above his head, I remembered this quote, “when facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”

Trump just had peaceful demonstrators viciously attacked. No, Mr. President. This is not a dictatorship. This is the United States of America. Our citizens have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. It's called the First Amendment.

Let me be clear. This is revolting. The Bible is not a prop. A church is not a photo op. Religion is not a political tool. God is not your plaything.

Those in power who want us to focus on looting and property damage instead of the thousands peacefully protesting are trying to distract us from the terrible violence that engulfs the lives of working people every day. As Coretta Scott King reminded us, violence takes many forms.

I wanted to interview Trump supporters on what would he have to do to lose your support...? I believe they could make fabulous commercials. Why were there no takers?

They are victims whose innocent blood cries to Heaven and implores: put an end to this war! Silence the weapons! Stop sowing death and destruction! #PrayTogether

Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

Federal Income Taxes Paid in 2021: $0: AT&T $0: AIG $0: Dow $0: Charter Communications $0: Salesforce $0: Duke Energy $0: Kinder Morgan Combined profits: $55.6 billion But we're told inflation is rising because a worker got a 50 cent raise & a $1,400 check. #TaxTheRich

Elon Musk Next pay the $6 billion you openly promised to the UN to end world hunger.
