The President has broad authority to remedy injustice & provide mercy through the issuance of pardons and commutations. Yet thousands of nonviolent offenders, a disproportionate number are people of color, are serving harsh prison terms as a result of the so-called War on Drugs.

Trump disagrees w/medical & scientific data from the WHO regarding the fatality rate of the Coronavirus.
Trump said infected people get better by just “sitting around,” “not going to the doctor” & “even going to work.” Trump is a danger to public health.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Does Lieu have anything better to do than Bash Our President? Seems like many are hurting in his district. Time would be better spent improving people’s lives. Let’s give Congressmen Ted Lieu a Grade for his Performance!
