President Trump has shown time and again he’s willing to use and abuse the full force of the federal government to intimidate and harm Americans.

So, while we should all take a moment to celebrate this incredible milestone, may this anniversary serve as a reminder of the work that we must do together to fulfill the promise of America for our children and grandchildren to come.

I believe that understanding our history is critical to understanding how we can move forward and chart a new course for the next 250 years.

This is an incredible milestone that speaks to the strength of our democracy and the American people.

I think we have to understand that people do not believe that this version of capitalism has worked. And frankly, it hasn't worked.

This investment represents more than bricks and mortar—it is an investment in the health, safety, and dignity of the seniors and individuals with disabilities who call Attick Towers home.

Not only is it a great business opportunity for our partners, but I’ve seen firsthand how these investments help create jobs, support farmers and grow our economy back home.

And for the people in our country who want to turn this country into a communist country, leave, you’re free to leave.

They're winning on platforms like Medicare for all. Universal health care. Universal childcare. Raising the minimum wage.

We’re a nation who’s willing to understand peace through strength. And we’re a nation that has been willing to go ahead and pledge our lives to keep the freedoms that we have here that no other nation like ours has seen.

I guess our Constitution and all the freedoms we have that other countries don't have, which results in us being so much wealthier than other countries — not that that's the main thing.

This is a great country. You know, we are a country of immigrants. Immigrants have contributed so much to our country, and you know this is the greatest country on earth. I am so proud to call myself an American citizen, although there are…

We’re the greatest country on earth. We’re innovative, we’re smart, we make sure that we promote our values, our liberties and justice and freedom. We’re always trying to perfect our union, but at the same time, we were the great…

I believe Americans are ready to defend our democracy and oppose authoritarianism so that we can celebrate our 251st birthday in this country instead of turning all power over to a would-be king.

I am very proud to tell you that impeachment is an option to remove a reckless, ruthless, lawless president.
