    Mr. President, you have continuously spewed contradictions. You have a strategy of offering a smorgasbord of lies for your supporters so they can choose the charade they believe justifies your perfidy. It's not about truth. It's about Trump.

    Mr. President, your refusal to be interviewed by the special counsel concerning his investigation will NOT exonerate you. Your firing Mr. Comey to thwart being investigated was, is, & ever shall be an impeachable offense.

    Today shared his powerful story of how the justice system failed him, his family, & his community. He served 18.5 years in prison, 12 years on death row for a crime his accuser committed. His story is appalling, but not unique. We need now!

    Dr. King’s untimely demise moved our nation to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which included the Fair Housing Act. That is why I am introducing H. Res 817 today to honor the brave Americans who sacrificed their lives for the right to affordable housing.

    We cannot stand idly by as our reckless President chooses to wage war in our name, without the consent of Congress, as well as fire Mr. Mueller. The President has a duty to respect that Constitutional process or face impeachment.

    The FBI raid of Michael Cohen's office and home already has Trump fuming. True to form, the Deflector-in-Chief is searching for someone to blame before we even know what was found. It seems that everyone is on the chopping block but the one responsible.

    Yesterday I attended funeral, the 8-year-old victim of a senseless drive-by shooting in Houston. No flags were flown at half-staff. Most of the mourners were children. A family in despair. The community in grief. We must not allow this to become the new normal.
