Two things Mueller has made clear this morning:
✔️ He did not find “no collusion” with Russia
✔️ He did not “totally exonerate” the President
No matter how many times Trump repeats those lies it doesn’t make them true.

For too long, our federal cannabis policies have been rooted in the past. Congress has a responsibility to ensure that our laws are fair, equitable, and inclusive. As Cannabis Caucus Co-Chair, I’m proud to work with @RepJerryNadler on the MORE Act. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

Let 👏🏾 me 👏🏾 be 👏🏾 clear: Russia attacked our democracy. They did it to help the Trump campaign. And the campaign welcomed their help. #RetweetTheReport pic.twitter.com/JbCDmTGXGi

3 million families struggling to make ends meet will lose food assistance. Trump’s only goal is to push more families into poverty. It’s clear he only cares about the rich and powerful. #HandsOffSNAP thehill.com/homenews/admin…

Trump is now instituting a rule that encourages racial profiling and opens the door for widespread rights violations. He is doubling down on his search for every possible way to terrorize immigrant families. We will fight this. politico.com/story/2019/07/…

Let me be clear: basic programs like Medicaid and Nutrition Assistance are NOT frivolous spending. Every day families rely on them to feed their families and go to the doctor. We can not afford to leave them behind. #MedicareForAll #SNAP wsj.com/articles/when-…

Black Americans & the LGBTQ community have been disproportionately affected by the #HIV epidemic. We have the tools to end the HIV epidemic in the United States. But we must tackle disparities and end the stigma around testing and treatment. #HIVAIDS theatlantic.com/health/archive…

The Trump Administration’s continued attacks on the reproductive rights of low-income women and women of color are wrong and discriminatory. No one should be denied an abortion solely because of their zip code or income. #ProtectX cbsnews.com/news/trump-adm…

For millions of women across the country, access to abortion and reproductive care is already out of reach. We must #StopTheBans and ensure everyone has access to their constitutionally-protected right to an abortion. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I voted against the 2001 AUMF because I knew it was a blank check for war. More than 17 years later, many of my colleagues in Congress are finally coming around. Check out this @SFChronicle profile on the incredible progress we’ve made to #StopEndlessWar. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

I was truly honored to be a part of a naturalization ceremony in Fruitvale yesterday. We welcomed 24 new citizens from 16 different countries, including Mexico, El Salvador, South Africa, and Thailand. Thrilled to welcome them with open arms into our East Bay community. pic.twitter.com/ZhB7WTV4cx

We have to call the President’s comments what they are: racist. Plain and simple. It’s on us to reject his hateful rhetoric and fight back against his dangerous agenda. pic.twitter.com/UrgwBOfIpM

We need to help the migrants at the border – but we also need to address what brought them to the US. Many are fleeing lack of education, health care, extreme weather, and violence. It's time to help these countries, not reduce aid and threaten sanctions. vox.com/2019/7/17/1876…

#OTD in 1968, the @SpecialOlympics hosted their first games, giving athletes with disabilities the chance to compete, thrive, and shine on a national stage. Yet, Betsy DeVos and Trump had to be shamed into funding our amazing athletes this year. Absolutely despicable. pic.twitter.com/0Oddxhy6tm

#OTD in 1848, women and men gathered at #SenecaFalls to make a bold declaration – “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that men & women are created equal.” More than 170 years later, we are still working to make that dream a reality for all women. newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…
