Visited the grave of my friend’s father and witnessed a remarkable ceremony. The letters on the white crosses almost disappear in the brightness of the stone, so a soldier fills the indentations with sand from Omaha Beach to bring the name forward. It sent shivers down my spine.

Devin Nunes calling the Intelligence Committee’s fact-finding mission a cult is dispicable. I know about cults. Cults are led by maniacal narcissists who expect complete adoration and relinquishment of independent thought. I suggest Mr. Nunes look elsewhere.

“Send her back. Lock her up. Nasty woman. Horse face. That dog. Face of a pig. Not my type. Fat. Disgusting. Low IQ. Slob. Pocahontas. Blood coming out of her wherever. Look at that face. Grab them by the pussy.” But nobody has more respect for women? #IStandWithIlhanOmar

New procedures in the House require us to go through a magnetometer before entering the floor. All because a new Republican member wants to carry heat onto the floor. Well, no surprise—5 Republican law and order members set off the magnetometer and then refused to be wanded.

How is it okay for @POTUS to engage in name calling and tweeting fake images against the third highest ranking person in our government? I know, he does it to world leaders and 16-year-old Nobel winners. It is NOT okay and NOT normal. We have to demand he puts a stop to it!

Isn’t it interesting that Donald Trump’s attorneys have abandoned him because they refuse to promote his election fraud defense but Republicans in Congress still promote the canard ?

At the risk of stating the obvious, Speaker Pelosi knew how to whip her recalcitrant members, could count to 218 and did it in stiletto heels.

Truly what kind of a country are we when a US Senator takes cheap shots at a Purple Heart recipient who has dedicated his life to protect us. Shame on you Sen. Blackburn. You’re better than that. cnn.com/2020/01/25/pol…

Roe may be dead but medication abortion used by 54% of women who have abortions is FDA approved, safe and effective. No clinic. No waiting. Pass the word.

America-we are in deep trouble. When the US Archivist is willing to tamper with documents to avoid the ire of President Trump, we have crossed a red line in protecting the Constitution. What happens to the First Amendment if @POTUS doesn’t like what you are saying?

I just checked in with US Capitol Police & asked has anyone refused to be wanded and they said “plenty.” What’s it going to take for Members of Congress to follow the rules?!

Nominating Dr. Christine Blasey Ford – a true American (s)hero who sacrificed so much to do what was right for our country and for the pursuit of truth of justice – for this year’s Profiles in Courage Award @JFKLibrary. She is an inspiration to us all.

Sekulow just told bald-faced lies to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Republicans WERE allowed in the SCIF. I was there. Many Rs CHOSE not to show up.

The 1st sounds we heard before we could see the children held at Ursula were haunting cries of babies & toddlers. I spoke to a dad of a sick 6-month-old girl. She was flushed, listless, her little fists clung tightly to his shirt. Flu, meningitis, typhus, lice & more. #Border
