Mark L. Wolf has resigned as a federal judge in Massachusetts, a position he's held since 1985:
"My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. Pres. Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes."

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

On this Veteran's Day, I want to remind Americans that the coward who: paid for 5 deferments to avoid serving in Viet Nam, called members of our armed forces "suckers and cowards", and is violating the Posse Comitatus Act is also now starving many of those same families by refusing to fund SNAP.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.
