I, for one, am writing to the Pennsylvania attorney general because surely Donald’s statement is enough to open an investigation.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

Many of you have asked me over the past year how and when you could see my son's film Petro! It is now available on Amazon Prime. It is a very moving story of a people at a moment in the history of Colombia, electing their first progressive-left President. It makes people cry. With happiness.
