   ICYMI: @OversightDems voted to hold AG Barr and Commerce Sec Ross in contempt for refusal to turn over documents that will likely show an intent to cheat communities of color like #13thDistrictStrong in the 2020 Census. Hear what I had to say about it below. pic.twitter.com/iBWsFNDm9I

   The idea that a crook like Wilbur Ross – who should be in a jail cell in a block parallel to Paul Manafort’s in Rikers, is instead making decisions about and overseeing the Census that will not only drastically impact and shape the way things work in this country, our way of life, our democracy and have other long-term ramifications ..even beyond the decade before the next scheduled census …and after much has fully set, and much irreversible damage done..

   We have a brazen traitor sitting in America’s house …puffed-up and spouting off and inviting foreign adversaries to come help him stay in power …and all while corruptly wielding the awesome instruments of the Federal government for his and his criminal cohort’s aggrandizement …and at the expense of the once greatest democracy and its citizens …and arrogantly daring anyone to do something about it..

   I wrote recently about the discovery that the Trump administration’s citizenship question was an effort to use the Census to help white people become even more politically powerful, and why racism in public policy should be recognized as American sabotage. https://t.co/5FqL492ztV

   They’ll rig the Census and then act like it’s an unbiased “objective” way to determine how resources should be distributed. https://t.co/C8mU8zkSug

   Trump’s census cover up:

   1. Lie about reasons for citizenship question

   2. Hide role of GOP gerrymandering guru

   3. Ignore Congressional subpoena

   4. Invoke executive privilege over key docs

   Why House Oversight voted to hold Barr & Ross in contempt https://t.co/07sScqsDFI

   Trump’s claim of executive privilege over the census question is as bogus and fraudulent as his entire illegitimate presidency. It’s nothing more than another way for him to obstruct justice and use stall tactics to try and cover up the truth. The Republican silence is deafening.

   The Trump Administration working with Republican strategists to manipulate the census to help Republicans maintain political power for a decade and then lying about it ranks right up there on the list of impeachable offenses. https://t.co/uZ9JI0lAcK

    This is a blatant abuse of executive privilege. The American people have a right to know how (and why) the Census was modified. This is about the basic foundation of our democracy: every person counts. https://t.co/5z4ov2w8Fa

    This is ridiculous. Executive privilege is not some magic wand the President gets to wave to hide anything he wants, anytime he wants. https://t.co/WrlDJlA7Pi

    .@RashidaTlaib on fire at census contempt hearing: "Is it really about citizenship? No. it’s about reducing the number of people of color in this country being counted in the census. That’s exactly what it’s about. Because you want to cheat”

    .@AOC wants to know why the fingerprints of Steve Bannon and Kris Kobach (Who has a loooong resume of voter suppression) are all over the census citizenship question. We should all want to know this. #IWantToKnow #Racism https://t.co/ZQsvX9afak

    .@AOC goes after Kris Kobach: "He has a resume of voter suppression techniques in the state of Kansas." Why was he involved in adding a citizenship question to the census, she asks

    Everyone should watch this @AOC video from today's census contempt hearing. As she notes the addition of any new census question usually requires 5 years of testing. Trump admin violated every established procedure to add citizenship question pic.twitter.com/N9nbX5qpx7
