Christ says what we do for “the least of these” we do for him — so where is Christ today?

Christ is the immigrant deported without due process.

Christ is the protester kidnapped in an unmarked vehicle.

Christ is the student in an overcrowded classroom in a defunded school.

Europe’s choice is clear.

To put science at the heart of its economy.

To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.

And to welcome talent from all over the world.

I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

In the past eight months, 3 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) have been diagnosed in one Oregon county; 2 of them have died. CJD is the human form of mad cow disease. It’s caused by prions and it’s not known how they developed it.

CJD is 100% fatal. There is no treatment.

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials.

Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room.

The government should not be hiding how it's spending taxpayers money. In fact, that's illegal.

That's why we're suing the OMB for taking down its apportionments website.
GAO says OMB takedown of apportionments website violates federal statutes
The watchdog said OMB Director Russell Vought’s move to disappear the public tracker of funds appropriated by Congress is “very concerning” and undercuts transparency.

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night.

Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.
American teen was killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. The U.S. has said little about it.
“We have a U.S. citizen, a child, who was murdered in cold blood,” one official told NBC News. “Why should we not be treated equally as any other American?”

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.
