The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

I went to the floor yesterday to ask the Senate to pass a simple bill - no ICE arrests at school bus stops. Let’s end this evil practice of purposely traumatizing kids. Republicans blocked the bill. And for insane reasons. Watch.
