    VOTER FRAUD is itself a fraud. The highest measured rate of voter fraud in our elections is 0.0003%. It is virtually non-existent. Not so with voter suppression, which you are leading around the country because you fear true democracy and the people's voice.

    All levels of government and Law Enforcement are watching carefully for VOTER FRAUD, including during EARLY VOTING. Cheat at your own peril. Violators will be subject to maximum penalties, both civil and criminal!

    I’ve listened for 8 years as EVERY Republican has demanded and voted for Obamacare repeal. Even shutting down the government to do it. Now, as they are about to be held accountable by voters, they are denying it. Repeal?!? Nothing to see here....

    Literally every sentence, no, every clause, in this tweet is a lie. And provably so.

    All Republicans support people with pre-existing conditions, and if they don’t, they will after I speak to them. I am in total support. Also, Democrats will destroy your Medicare, and I will keep it healthy and well!

    A remarkable trend that continues. Since 1981, the U.S. budget deficit has grown under every Republican president (Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, Trump so far) and fallen under every Democratic president (Clinton, Obama).

    It's unusual to see deficits rising in this manner outside of a recession

    BREAKING: The Des Moines Register, which leans Conservative, just endorsed ALL DEMOCRATS! Said the GOP “needs to be voted out of power and spend a few years becoming again the party of Lincoln, not the party of Trump.” -

    After ' baseless op-ed yesterday, I hope that the will eventually leave the President's withered breed of politics on the sideline and join Democrats -- centrist, progressive and otherwise -- to make real progress.

    I was worried about this years ago, and have a BIPARTISAN bill to fix it. Why is it that under a Republican President and Republican-controlled Congress who claim to want to "drain the swamp" these anti-corruption ideas go nowhere?

    America's insider trading laws are hopelessly out of date. A group led by former prosecutor wants to change that.
