Donald Trump trying to jettison the American dream, that's not trying to make America great again. That's trying to make America into a whole new country we have never been before in all of the 243 years that we have existed.


Seems Russia is backing China's claims that the United States is waging a interference campaign in Hong Kong & suggests Moscow & Beijing work together to counter "US operations". Can anyone say mega projection?


Here's a GOP candidate I could support


Judge Bates says DOJ's attempt to withhold part of Mueller-related FBI declaration 'takes chutzpah but doesn't take the cake.' Rules for press. Also important: notes that FOIA exemptions and standards for keeping court records secret could be quite different.


When I passed the Debbie Smith Act (funding to DNA test backlogged rape kits) , I had no idea it would become the "most effective anti-rape legislation in America." It MUST be re-authorized

There has been much speculation about Ghislaine Maxwell and her current whereabouts, even prior to Epstein's suicide this weekend. In the wake of his death, the spotlight will focus even more intensely on her and the extent of her involvement in Epstein's activities.


"Maxwell also said the island had been completely wired for video; the friend thought that she and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy, as blackmail."

The fact that Trump is targeting LEGAL immigrants is absolute proof that this was never about legality, it was always about racism.

Today is Monday. That means the @realDonaldTrump Administration is doing harm. This time it is to the Endangered Species Act, which helps protect God's creations.


Wow. I've been accused by white supremacists of being a "self-loathing white" who is "stoking the flames of race hatred" by denouncing racism. But did not expect to be so attacked in @NRO. A sad indication of what's happened to mainstream conservatism.


If Republicans weren’t in the tank, we would not have to wait until Nov 2020 to get rid of Trump. His utterances in the past few days make clear that, for the safety of the country, he should be removed immediately by impeachment or the 25th Amendment.


Federal agents, including FBI and CBP were seen on the dock and grounds of Little Saint James, the island owned by accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The U.S. Attorney's Office and SDNY declined to comment on the operation.

White Privilege

As police violence in Hong Kong increases, so does the danger of an even more deadly crackdown on protestors. Congress stands with protestors seeking freedom, even if our president is silent. To Chinese authorities: The world is watching. Human rights must be respected.
