“When people say the government should be run like a business, tell them that in many ways it already is—and that's the problem. Our government should not be run like a business; it should be run like a family.” - from my newest column in Newsweek

No, in the United States of America no one gets to be arrested because there’s a “suspicion.” Not without a warrant. And the destruction we are talking about here is mainly graffiti!

Tell me how you think his forces are going to do something to lower crime. The criminals aren’t wearing signs that say “I’m the one!” They just grab people at will. If they want to help lower crime, they should offer help to local and state officials - not invade & override them.

The president is staging militarized invasions of American cities. DC Democrats must do more to stop it. This cannot wait until November. #StopHimNow

No one was reading stories about violence in Portland. This is dangerous theater, that’s all. If he was worried about our safety he’d be fighting Covid.19.

Wait. You need “answers,” @RepRaskin? They have already given their answers; they don’t care what the law is and they don’t care what you think. We need a lot more than a letter from you, please. We need subpoenas.
No city is safe from the Administration’s shocking secret police tactics. We need answers now from AG Barr & Acting DHS Sec Wolf about “Trump’s troops” & the legal basis for the ongoing fed assault on Portland. My letter with @RepBonamici, @repblumenauer & 100+ @HouseDemocrats:

This is totally and completely outrageous. These moms are not “anarchists” or criminals or rioters. They are there to protect our children - something I wish the president would do.
This is maddening! These Portland moms, who PROTECT protestors, are treated like this?! It breaks my heart to see them teargassed, and I hope they know their sacrifice and strength aren't going unnoticed!!

"There’s no reason to expect things will not get ugly very, very soon. The president is sending his troops to cities whose citizens simply will not have it. Nor should they. This has gone too far." medium.com/@mariannewilliams…

I’m a huge fan of Beau. I’m just saying that I have never suggested all we have to do is “be a nice person”, and the projection onto me that I have has limited my ability to be heard. It doesn’t feel to me that I’m supposed to let it go by anymore. Simply correcting the record.

Whoah Beau, I’m a little surprised by this. Having founded an organization that’s served 12 million meals to homebound people with AIDS + peace orgs + written 2 political books & run for President on this platform mariannenow.com/issues , I thought you understood me better.

If we do nothing to stop this, any efforts to stop his dictatorial rise will be forever stymied.
