    The Trump swamp keeps getting swampier. Now it’s Trump’s Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross who appears to have deliberately misled Congress under oath.

    Trump saying he has a natural instinct for science is like Hulk Hogan saying he has a natural instinct for ballet.

    . Admin is STILL inflicting intentional harm on children it separated from their parents, many of whom have yet to be reunited. Trump is now talking about resuming child snatching. They're unable & unwilling to fix this mess. But we CAN fix it. November is coming.

    These words ring eerily true as we watch and his State Dept fail to take a strong stand on Khashoggi’s death. If America won’t stand up for human rights and freedom of the press, who will?

    In a powerful final column—just published—Jamal Khashoggi worried that crackdowns on a free press may “no longer carry the consequence of a backlash from the international community. Instead, these actions may trigger condemnation quickly followed by silence.”

    We need to send a powerful message that America stands up for human rights everywhere in the world and that Khashoggi’s murder is unacceptable. We need to find out what happened.

    The brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi is a wake-up call that the United States must NOT provide Saudi Arabia with the tools to make a nuclear bomb. The time for obstruction or hesitation is over; the Senate should pass our bipartisan resolution ASAP.

    This is the choice Americans will make in November. Do you want Republicans to try again to slash protections for people with pre-existing conditions? Or do you want a health care system that works for everyone? The choice is yours, America.

    You know what’s irresponsible? Giving away $1.5 trillion to the richest Americans, and then suggesting that we don’t have enough money to keep promises like Social Security and Medicare for the middle class.

    Let’s be clear: State Department’s response to Khashoggi’s murder is completely inappropriate. The Trump Administration needs to pursue accountability and advocate for human rights—not use this moment to praise Saudi’s handling of the Khashoggi case and leave it as a side note.

    Paul Ryan said it before, is saying it now: the giant tax scam for the billionaires and corporations was only phase 1. Phase 2 is cutting Social Security and Medicare. That’s the plan – unless we stop it.

    (Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the U.S. budget deficit is "disturbing" and spending on entitlement programs must be addressed by both Republicans and Democrats.

    Yet again I call on Trump to condemn this with moral clarity (he hasn’t said a single public word) and to lead the world to impose powerful sanctions on the Myanmar military.

    Meanwhile, our president is repeating the Saudis’ flailing attempts to explain away this horrific act. How about seeking truth and accountability instead of coverups?
