    The Trump party is at it again. They just won't quit! Voter suppression is the name of their game. They passed strict voter id laws in PA, AR, WI & NC, stole ballots in NC & changed the rules in WI & MI. Is this what Trump's make America great again mantra is all about?

    John Kelly is one of a long list of failed & incompetent Trump appointees that served in a dysfunctional White House. Kelly leaves with a cloud over his head because of the lie that he told on Congresswoman Frederica Wilson. He refused to apologize. Leaves WH in disgrace.

    Lying Trump is using "America First" as his defense in helping Saudi Arabia cover up the horrific murder of a Washington Post journalist. The Saudis tortured, strangled & dismembered . Trump's complete disregard for human life is immoral, weak, and disgusting.

    Why does Trump have such an affinity for murderous autocrats? He defends Vladimir Putin of Russia, fell in love w/ Kim Jong Un of N Korea, admires Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines & now refuses to accept CIA findings that the Saudi Crown Prince ordered 's murder

    What more does Trump have to brazenly tell us about his relationship to the Saudis? It's all about $. Trump sold a yacht to a Saudi royal, sold the 45th floor of Trump Tower to Saudis & said he liked the Saudis "very much" b/c they buy $40M apartments from him

    Trump’s response to the California wildfires was a disgrace. Now he is trying to walk back his inappropriate comments. However, he’s a day late and a dollar short. The people of California will never forget his shameful lack of respect & compassion

    Today I salute all of the courageous veterans & servicemembers across the country. It is my honor to serve in Congress & ensure that programs, such as the VA’s Center for Women Veterans which I created in 1994, meet the needs of those who have served & sacrificed in the military.
