America has been a beacon of hope for those fleeing religious persecution, war, and violence. Facing the worst global refugee crisis of the postwar period, the Admin is closing the door. Trump would have us become a fearful nation, yearning to wall itself off from the world.

President Trump has intervened again in a pending investigation by ordering the selective disclosure of classified materials he believes to be helpful to his defense. The DOJ and FBI have previously informed me that release of some of this information would cross a “red line.”

In the face of a credible claim of sexual assault, corroborated by a therapist’s notes, the Senate must stop the rush to confirm Kavanaugh and look into this serious allegation. To elevate him to a lifetime appointment without doing so would be reckless and unconscionable.

Nunes promised to release all the witness interviews, then reneged. We hope this time he will follow through.The American people deserve to see what the witnesses said, the many questions they would not answer, and the how often the Majority — to protect Trump — let them refuse.

Any move by Trump to pardon Paul Manafort, or dangle a pardon, would be a further act of obstruction of justice. When he was running, Trump said he was going to drain the swamp, but the only person who’s draining the swamp is Mueller. Trump is threatening to pardon the swamp.

Manafort’s cooperation agreement is broad and requires him to provide complete and truthful information “in any and all matters” which the government deems relevant. He would be wise to do so, as Mueller’s team has already shown that it will not tolerate obstruction of justice.

Another victory for Mueller as Manafort pleads guilty, admits allegations against him and agrees to cooperate. We must reserve judgment on the value of his cooperation, given he’s had joint defense agreement with Trump, hopes for a pardon and has admitted to obstructing justice.

As Hurricane Florence brings its wrath to the homes of millions of Americans, our thoughts go out to all affected. We give our thanks to the first responders working tirelessly to provide aid and bring those who are in danger to safety.

Your comments display an ignorance as large as the storm itself. The death toll was due to a lack of access to potable water and power, and because the nation failed to bring a sense of urgency to the relief effort commensurate with the size of the disaster — and still has.

CBO report: deficit to hit $1 trillion by 2020, 2 years ahead of schedule. We knew tax cuts for the wealthy would explode the deficit. And now they have. Still, Trump & Ryan argue for massive cuts to Medicare & Social Security, saying we don’t have the money. Not a chance.

Seventeen years later, the memory of September 11 is still so vivid and its legacy so profound. We remember the lives lost, the courage of the first responders, bravery of the passengers on Flight 93, and how our nation stood united in the face of such evil.

Anonymous: Trump is amoral, and unhinged, and we must resist rash and misguided orders from him that would harm the country. Trump: I demand that the Attorney General investigate my senior staff! Sessions: We must resist this rash and misguided order?

At his sentencing, George Papadopoulos was held to account for lying to federal investigators – lies which impeded their inquiry. With former Trump staff lying to the FBI, the work is hard enough. Trump and his allies in Congress must cease their efforts to undermine Mueller.

Trump’s legal team never had any intention of allowing him to be interviewed, knowing he is incapable of telling the truth. It’s past time to subpoena the President. No one is above the law.

The Trump Administration separated kids from the parents, and more than 500 still haven’t been reunited in violation of a court order. Now the Administration plans to violate another court order to keep kids locked up indefinitely. These are not our values. We will fight this.

Of course Kim has faith in Trump, who has welcomed the pariah into the international community, with little to show for it. Putin undoubtedly feels the same way. It’s telling that none of the leaders of our fellow democracies can say the same.

They flattered me like a dog and told me I had white hairs in my beard ere the black ones were there. To say “Ay” and “No” to everything that I say “Ay” and “No” to was no good divinity...Go to, they are not men o’ their words. They told me I was everything. Tis a lie.—King Lear
