Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.
I almost died, and think of those who did every day.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.
Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.
