My two cents as this deputy speaks and suggests they worry that people are doing self-care or left scene: El Paso officials should make it clear there will be no immigration enforcement at hospitals or family reunification centers. Period. MAKE IT CLEAR.


90% of America wants universal background checks -- and McConnell won't even give them a vote. If 9 of 10 citizens want something and one party can block from even being considered for decades, are we even a democracy?

Speaking of your Daddy issues and war, I remember when I was at the CIA and he wanted to invade a country so bad he not only ignored our terrorism analysis, he lied about it on the Sunday talk shows. The whole world is still paying the price.
