And @POTUS must END his needlessly cruel policy of detaining families fleeing for their very survival. There is no such thing as safe or healthy incarceration for infants and children. The only thing it does is make a lot of money for his private prison-owning cronies.

It shouldn’t take an act of Congress to institute basic health screenings for flu, meningitis, and other potentially deadly diseases at the border. If we can manage it for foreign travelers during outbreaks surely we can do it for families, and children, seeking asylum.

Laura Calderwood is an extraordinary example of the healing power of generosity & goodness in the face of unfathomable pain & grief. Her strength & determination to rise above the malevolent political abuse of her daughter’s murder is inspiring & gives me great hope in humanity.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the White House, not a general was clear of what withdrawal will mean, far or near.

In 2016, @POTUS’ new Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said, “The fence doesn’t solve the problem…to just say build the darn fence and have that be the end of an immigration discussion is absurd & almost childish for someone running for president to take that simplistic of [a] view.”

.@POTUS finally did something ALL Americans want by signing the CAA Reform Act & ending the days of taxpayers footing the bill for Members of Congress harassing staff. Next year, @RepByrne & I will pass the rest of the #METOO Congress Act including all forms of discrimination!

The #TrumpShutdown is nothing more than a political stunt to appeal to @POTUS’s ego and extreme base. He’s created a nonexistent crisis to mask a real crisis of leadership. @HouseGOP & @SenateGOP do your job, fund the gov & put an end to this Trump reality TV show rerun. #2020
