John Hickenlooper has voted to approve trump's cabinet nominees 10 times and doesn't support universal health care. He is way too moderate to be Colorado's senator.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Whip the vote, Hakeem!!!!! #ICE
NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus.

While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

This is what historian Robert Kagan on what it means for the world.

We’re responding to this crisis as if it’s just another crisis. It’s not. This is it. It’s the political crisis of our lifetimes. And how we respond in the US & UK & Europe is critical.

From Blaine: "Grandparents were about to go outside for a walk. They came into our home ... My brother asked for a warrant. They showed a “warrant”, it was on a phone. He asked to see if it was signed by a judge they ignored him. They then only took my father and shoved him in the car and drove off"

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.

Trump actually taking Maria Corina Machado's earned Nobel Peace Prize is such a pathetically sad and needy thing to do. Everyone knows how to manipulate Donald because he has no pride in the face of meaningless flattery.

Ahead of the meeting, the Nobel Institute clarified in a statement that the "Nobel Prize can neither be revoked, shared, nor transferred to others. Once the announcement has been made, the decision stands for all time."

They should take her prize away now.
