    And 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.

    When I visited the troops deployed to the southern border by at Christmas I was stunned to learned they cannot use their medical training. Perhaps if they had been able to do so Felipe, 8, and Jakelin, 7, would still be alive.

    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.

    The Feres doctrine is one of SCOTUS's worst decisions. Military doctors must face consequences for gross malpractice. I have listened to & been inspired by Green Beret Richard Stayskal & others & intend to right this wrong with or without SCOTUS action.

    He should send our military service members home to their families, not make them deploy at the southern border because of his self-inflicted political insanity.

    I dressed in my red coat to go feed the troops, in hopes that would take a cue and do it too, instead of sitting in the White House all alone crying boo.

    In 2016, ’ 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.”
