There is a bill right now. You can act on it. Right. Now.

Your colleagues across the aisle have a bill to bar your party from taking children away from their parents. It seems like a thing I wouldn't have to ask, but... Where do you stand on this?

Why don't you ask her to resign, Lloyd because she's only defended and deflected on this cruel Trumpian policy since its Day 1? Listen to the heartbreak of children separated from their parents and tell your constituents that you need more information. https://www.propublica.org/article/children-separated-from-parents-border-patrol-cbp-trump-immigration-policy …

Lloyd - glad you're taking some steps, keep going. Here's the Youtube video from PropPublica of children screaming for their parents. One mother I know said she had to stop watching this midway-through because it made her want to vomit. https://youtu.be/PoncXfYBAVI

It’s pretty simple, stop doing this. If you want more information, they have press conferences (kinda like the town halls you don’t have). There’s also video evidence. I can link you to stories. Stop giving us this half assed thoughts and prayers more information bs

It’s all just excuses for doing nothing. Be better. Don’t tell me you’re emotional. Do something.
