    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    America's insider trading laws are hopelessly out of date.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.

    The murkiness identified in this piece is exactly what my bill, The Insider Trading Prohibition Act, addresses. When the law is muddy, only bad actors benefit.

    Hey!! I got no lollipop!?!? Seriously, 80,000 people died of flu in the US last year. Mostly elderly, but also some infants and children. Easy, cheap and quick, and it will save lives.

    Winter is coming! Don't forget to get your flu shot. If you're nice, you might even get a lollipop out of it.

    In the past few days, China has disappeared two prominent citizens, Russia has killed a prosecutor, and Saudi Arabia has apparently murdered a journalist in one of its consulates. In the old days a US administration would’ve cared about these things & that would have mattered.

    So great to see the band at Day. Here they’re doing a little New Orleans jazz. One of the Wonders of the Modern World is seeing them play and drill at the Washington Barracks.
