The lesson we learn from the Trump Administration: Dont be timid with your corruption. Grift *billions* off your position and you are safe, but try to grift a mere $100,000 off your position and you are fired.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

The Fort Hood Shooting was horrific. At least 4 dead. At least 14 injured. But I bet you've never heard the name of Army Specialist Ivan Lopez, who was responsible for the 2014 Fort Hood shooting. Because you understand he reps only himself, but somehow Nidal Malik Hasan speaks for 'all Muslims.'

ICE-Gestapo shot a man in NYC with his 5 year old son in the back seat, then they rammed through protesters who were trying to block their vehicle from leaving the scene. I’ll say it again and again, ICE aren’t agents or law enforcement, they are terrorists, murderers and white supremacists.

People who call it simply “political differences” really mean “ people like me whose differences aren’t rooted in my erasure”. They would never consider “death to America” or “white people go back to Europe” or “men shouldn’t vote” as political differences that require polite discussion.
