    By illegally bombing Syria, President Trump has once again denied the American people any oversight or accountability in this endless war. Congress, not the president, has the power to authorize military action.

    Beyond the potentially catastrophic consequences with Iran, Trump's decision is devastating to U.S. credibility globally. After this, why would anyone trust an international agreement that the U.S. negotiates?

    By withdrawing from the Iran Deal, the White House is sending a message to the world that America's word can’t be trusted. There’s nothing more dangerous than that.

    The Trump Administration’s citizenship question on the is a transparent attempt to suppress participation & bully communities of color. The Census should not be used as a political weapon!

    The gave a trillion dollars to billionaires & massive corporations. Now, Republicans want to gut the Children’s Health Insurance Program to pay for it. Not much surprises me anymore in American politics. But this is despicable on every level.

    Abstinence-only sex education puts young people’s health at risk. By promoting this agenda of disinformation, President Trump is allowing fringe ideology – not science – to guide our public health policy.

    In the last year, the Trump Administration has turned its back on tens of thousands of recipients from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Nepal. Now, Trump has ended protections for Honduras. This “immigration” agenda is blatantly racist.

    The Trump administration will strip protection from over 50,000 Hondurans, forcing them to leave within several months

    1 year ago, passed . While they didn’t succeed in turning it into law, they've managed to undermine the promise of health care for millions nonetheless. In fact, 2017 was the first year since enactment that uninsured rates went up. What a disgrace.

    Republicans are not the party of “family values.” There’s no value in policies that lead to more hunger, more homelessness and more desperation. Make no mistake: the only families helped by policies are named Koch and Mercer.
