“We do not. But what we do need to do is start treating the asylum seekers as people because that is what they are. Some of them have traveled over a thousand miles ON FOOT just to get here. Can you imagine having things so bad in your own country that you are willing to walk over a thousand miles ju…”
“This investigation has never been a witch hunt. The fact that Trump couldn’t answer these questions in person is outrageous. You don’t need to worry about “perjury traps” when you tell the truth, but this president doesn’t seem to know how to do that. If he isn’t fit to answer questions in an invest…”
“It’s time that we allow the CDC to study gun violence. We live in a country where nowhere is safe. Not schools, not shopping malls, not movie theaters, not work places, not even churches. It’s sad that I have to think of a possible escape plan every time I go someplace in the event that there’s a sh…”
“Now that we have the check on the Trump Administration that was so desperately needed, Democrats need to make sure they go about checking this administration with extreme care and diligence.

“Republicans who wrote this bill have been trying to pass it off as being great for the middle class, but in reality it only benefits big corporations. Instead of working in a bipartisan matter, Republicans decided once again to act in a partisan way to get there agenda through. And on top of that, t…”
“Vote no on this legislation. Why should millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations get huge tax breaks? This will not stimulate our economy, but will harm it. Trickle down economics does not work. This is an immoral bill that will hurt the poor and middle class, and will add billions of dollar…”
“Absolutely not! This bill is nothing more than a last ditch effort by Republicans so they don't have to work with Democrats on legislation. Voting for this bill is immoral. It will throw millions of American off health care. Health care is a right, and the fact that this bill is even close to passin…”
“As a post-graduate who is currently paying his student loans, I live from month to month concerned about whether or not I'll be able to pay my bills.
