Thank you to Mayor @randallwoodfin and the people of Birmingham for welcoming me and sharing your concern and stories. Conversations like these - offline, in real life - are vital for understanding our moment and for building hope. https://t.co/tssuSKVAB8

The truth is that our troubled times are more precedented than we might want to admit. In this moment, we should draw courage and inspiration from the civil rights heroes whose example compels us to do our part to deliver a better, more just future. https://t.co/NaKVbIi9lQ

What an honor to walk on this hallowed ground in Selma with some of the civil rights foot soldiers who marched here 61 years ago on #BloodySunday. We have so much to learn from the the moral power, and the physical courage, of the marchers who faced down Jim Crow on that day. https://t.co/ivXUJfp9uO

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure. https://t.co/LR83KFzOSs

RT @VoteBobBrooks: My friend @PeteButtigieg came to town this week, and 450 of you showed up to see us. Pete said it well: Democrats nee…

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful. https://t.co/Hq6htxwk7v

We have learned - the hard way - how launching a reckless war of choice with no clear endgame can put Americans in greater danger. https://t.co/NJ8cqjlw12

They can't stick to a story for longer than three hours. https://t.co/ix9GbEgIy7

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice. https://t.co/5iMwkDwnr5

I’ll be joining @kaitlancollins tonight on @CNN at 9:00pm ET. Hope you’ll tune in.

Americans know this war will do nothing to help - and will very likely make things worse - when it comes to the biggest challenges we face here at home. Donald Trump or his wealthy friends won’t pay the price. It will fall on service members and their families, on taxpayers,

I wrote about what’s at stake - and what we as citizens can do. Read full post here: https://t.co/ksgx1nB9zo

Grieving for the four American service members known so far to have been killed in action, and praying for the families of these patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Their loss reminds us why sending troops into harm's way is the gravest responsibility a leader can face - a

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

This is a time for coalition. We may not agree on everything, but surely the defense of liberty in the face of this administration's abuses can bring together progressives, libertarians, and quite a few conservatives in common cause. https://t.co/falwT2EsMq

This dad with twins couldn’t agree more. Here’s what we did about it on my watch. https://t.co/CrZQIt8b3R

Hard to tell if the Trump administration killed this or is just slow-walking it. Either way, they should change course and allow our policy to take effect.

Great conversation in Henderson, Nevada, with my friend @sandra4nv as we joined union leaders and apprentices to discuss the state's economy. A leader in the State Assembly, she has been highly effective and consistent in standing up for Nevada workers. https://t.co/dCNyGmWy99
