Extremely honored to have had the chance to meet Lt. General @MarkHertling (Ret.) at the recent @Principles_1st event in New Jersey. We can learn a lot from his experience and insight.
Think our speakers are impressive? Wait until you meet our volunteers!
@RileyTopping gives advice to our generation: "a small step can go a long way. Momentum is a really powerful force when it comes to movements like this, so get involved any way that you can".
Thanks, Rory!

You can’t be a responsible steward if you pass the bill before knowing the price tag. @GOPMajorityWhip @RepFinstad
NEW: House Republicans won’t know the final CBO estimate of the total megabill price-tag before they’ll likely have to vote on it this week, three Republicans involved confirm
It’s angered fiscal hawks who are gathering other intel

Great to discuss the latest threats to the rule of law in NYC this month with @PreetBharara and @MimiRocah1 and to hear from Sam Wong, Brenna Trout Frey and @RickPildes about how lawyers and firms are handling the admin’s unlawful EOs.
The @Principles_1st ranks continue to grow.
Talked with @RickPildes at the @Principles_1st NYC Dinner:
"I believe in supporting organizations that are standing up for the Rule of Law, that are doing it in a bipartisan way, that bring in Independents, Republicans, Democrats..."
Thanks for your time, Rick!
"The separation of powers and the three branches and how they check each other...those are all things I hope students can find fun ways to educate themselves about." – @Mimirocah1
Thanks for chatting with us, Mimi!
We bumped into @PreetBharara at @Principles_1st's NYC dinner & asked him about how young Americans can make a difference.
"We old people have messed things up...the more young people bring their energy, idealism, & commitment to making the world better, the better we'll all be."
We were at @Principles_1st's recent NYC dinner where folks like Sam Wong, who recently resigned from his law firm after they capitulated to Trump, received awards for their courage and commitment to the Rule of Law.

We need to start thinking ahead.
A tariff is a tax on working people.
We owe it to the next generation to make life affordable and keep the American Dream alive.
When I talked to @sweetser_kyle in February, I didn’t think his remarks on tariffs would be so on-point:
“Trump’s policies are very bad for AL – we have Mercedes manufacturing, Toyota, Hyundai, in Mobile we have Airbus, that’s France, Austal, that’s Australia, AM/NS Calvert…”
Was thinking back to Feb, unfortunately this speech aged well 👇
"The stakes continue to be high with every week of incompetence we see coming out of the WH."
“It's not going to be easy to right this ship…this is a time for stiffening your spine, standing up.” – @HeathMayo
Seeing a lot of outrage from both sides about the tariffs today. Reminds me of my recent convo with Sharad and Gavin, two young "disillusioned Dems."
We talked Trump tariffs and reaching across the aisle - thanks for the convo guys!

Really fun meeting @stephen_richer at the @Principles_1st Summit this weekend. We had a great talk about how first, you need to find the truth, then second, you need to deliver it with empathy.
Before the interview, I also think he challenged me to a sprint. You're on, old man!

This weekend I came face to face with a #Jan6thInsurrection proud boy and experienced my first bomb threat.
We will not bend the knee.

STATEMENT ON SECURITY SITUATION
On Sunday, February 23, the Principles First Summit was disrupted by a credible threat. Police responded to the situation, determined that it was safe to proceed with the Summit, and we finished our programming as planned.
This movement has always been about principles. The most important principle we need in this moment is courage. We’re pleased that our speakers, attendees, and staff showed courage in response to this cowardly threat.
This act and others like it show exactly why our movement is so sorely needed. Threats, intimidation, and violence should have no place in our national and civic life. We will keep putting principles first.

It’s hard to express how refreshing it is to be in a room of 1,000 post-partisan patriots who understand the threat of Trumpism. @Principles_1st
