Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

💥 Imagine being 18, a US citizen, asleep in a broken truck, and 8 masked ICE agents point rifles at you. Handcuffed, injured, no rights read. This is Manny Castillo’s reality. SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!

There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worst—he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

The Indiana Senate has said it won’t vote on the gerrymandered maps-despite Trump’s threats and demands

We’ll see if they can stand up to him like some other Republicans-Massie, Greene, etc-have done

If they do, more will probably start to defy him-and there may be light at the end of the tunnel
