Following the disastrous NATO summit & @realDonaldTrump labeling our European allies “foes,” he buddies up again to his favorite dictator – Putin. Never before has a sitting President met with his Russian counterpart from such a position of weakness. #TrumpPutin
It’s disgraceful that @POTUS is parroting Russian propaganda in #Helsinki. He repeats Putin’s lies while disregarding the unanimous conclusion from our own Intelligence Community and ignoring DOJ’s indictment of 12 Russian spies who interfered in the election to help him win.
Today was a shameful, dark day in our nation’s history. @POTUS is selling out our country, weakening our democracy, and siding with those who seek to do us harm. Instead of praising Putin, our President should be holding him accountable.

Just toured Port Isabel ICE Detention Center in TX. It was horrifying, shocking & very eye-opening. Thread to follow....
We met with 20-30 women who were in hysterics & don't know where their kids are. Some had been there for over a month & haven’t had the option to see a lawyer.
One woman had her child taken on June 6. She was told it would just be for 48 hours because she was going to court. Then her child was gone. Since then she has only spoken to daughter once and doesn’t know where she is.

Walking away from the negotiating table is a mistake, taking us many steps backwards. We don’t know how North Korea could respond & given @realDonaldTrump's belligerent rhetoric, this could even escalate to a nuclear showdown.
I hope the President learned that you cannot run the country & diplomacy like a reality show. You have to prepare, talk to experts with all different points of view, and come to the table with specific goals in mind.
Now that we are in this precarious situation, I am urging @POTUS to recommit to diplomacy with North Korea and empower our State Department. A good start would be nominating an Ambassador to South Korea.
