Sen. DURBIN: I’m sorry my colleagues on the other side of the aisle remain silent. You know better, and so do I. Silent as he imposes higher prices, guts the federal workforce. Because you fear political retribution.

Sen. DURBIN: Republicans decided for the first time not to require ABA ratings for judicial nominees to be considered by this Committee. Why? What are they afraid of? You don’t want Trump nominees to face that kind of scrutiny?

The Trump Administration just pulled a 15-year-old out of work and detained him in North Carolina.
No guardian present.
No reasonable suspicion.
Unnecessary force.
It’s pretty clear that these new DHS agents aren’t well-trained.

The Trump Administration is deeming its anti-immigrant operation in North Carolina as "Operation Charlotte's Web."
Charlotte’s Web is literally a story about freedom and empathy.
