    Last week, the House passed my amendment to create an Election Threat Response Center that would do exactly this. Yesterday, Robert Mueller made clear how grave this threat is and how urgent it is that we do something about it.

    .: How should we protect our electoral system? MUELLER: The first line of defense is the ability of the various agencies who have some piece of this to share information, expertise, targets, and use the full resources we have to address this problem.

    When he talks about making America great this is what he means. A country where communities of color no longer feel safe or welcome in their own homes.

    “It was inhumane how they treated us. It got to the point where I was ready to sign a deportation paper just to not be suffering there anymore.” In sum: An American citizen nearly went to a country he’s not from to escape torture by his own government.

    In Robert Mueller’s own words, there is substantial evidence that the President obstructed justice. It’s there in the report for everyone to see. The Special Counsel did his job. Now it’s time for Congress to do ours.

    We should call this exactly what it is – racial profiling. This American citizen was detained by CBP & ICE because of the color of his skin.

    1/ He has a birth certificate and a Social Security number. But ICE has detained this U.S. citizen for three weeks.

    The people of Puerto Rico deserve better than the abysmal treatment they’ve gotten from the U.S. government. They deserve better than corruption and greed at home. They deserve to have their voices heard, lives counted, rights protected. The Governor must resign.

    Wow. Puerto Rico. You don’t get this perspective from the ground. They are Loud. Determined. United.

    As a businessman, Donald Trump ran companies into the ground & asked workers to bear the financial burden. As President, he’s running up $1 trillion in deficits & asking low-income Americans to starve.

    Only a few hours after Trump announces a budget deal to raise spending by $320 billion, the Trump Administration proposes cutting food stamps to 3 million people to save money. via

    Last week, funded intel agencies, strengthened electoral security, gave over 30 million workers a raise & rejected racism. Meanwhile, Senate GOP blocked a vote to get 9/11 first responders medical care. Tell me again which party gets to claim mantle of patriotism.

    Stagnate wages & eroding protections have denied workers the American Dream that they were promised. Because of the failure to raise the minimum wage and continued deference to corporations, employees can work hard, play by the rules & still end up in poverty. (1/2)

    Last night, all but 4 Republican members of Congress endorsed this racist authoritarianism as America’s future. History wasn’t kind to slave owners, segregationists or those who turned back the St. Louis. She won’t be kind to him either.

    GOP in 2019: so embarrassed by their leader’s racism that they are literally trying to erase it from the record.

    There is a child today who will be told to go back where they came from. There is a parent who will have to comfort that child b/c they too have been told they don’t belong. That pain is a shameful part of our past & present. Today GOP will choose if that’s our future too.
