@padilla.senate.gov asked five U.S. citizens who were illegally detained by ICE what they would say to this Administration.

Their response? This America is NOT “great.”

They are terrorists.

This is abhorrent and unacceptable. This is traumatizing for her and the people of Minneapolis. For our BIPOC neighbors. For anyone with a soul.

We see you, and when the time comes for trial, justice WILL prevail.

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.

So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.
