7 years since the horrific Tree of Life synagogue shooting, we have more work to do to honor the 11 lives lost that day. We must stand against the rising wave of anti-semitism and put an end to gun violence in our country.

In Chicago, a federal agent pointed a gun in a combat veteran's face and told him “bang, bang,” and “you’re dead liberal,” per court docs.

12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The Republican One Big Ugly Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP.
That’s the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.
And now the extremists want to force millions more to go hungry.

ICE boasted over the arrest of Sydney Reid, a DC woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent in an altercation with ICE officers near DC Jail.
Today a jury found Reid NOT GUILTY on a misdemeanor -- after grand juries no-billed the case 3 TIMES.
Folks, don't let ICE lecture you about rocket science.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.
"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."
