I have faith we shall overcome this bill that takes direct aim at our values and way of life, because for nearly 250 years, generations have stood up and fought for their rights and against the powerful and self-interested.
And now I am confident we will do it once again.

Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine for his puppet-master in Moscow is fully underway. Thousands more innocent civilians including children will die because of Trump. Netanyahu gets a blank check in Gaza, Putin gets to bomb with impunity in Ukraine.

Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care, and it increases costs for everyone.
Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we'll pay $10,000 for an amputation.

What would Jesus say about transferring wealth to the rich? No speculation needed. "Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep" (Lk. 6: 24-26).

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

I feel like people are forgetting the Trump administration stripped hundreds of thousands of people of legal status and work permits. That is probably playing a measurable role in this.
