Merely recusing himself does not resolve the issue of Jeff Sessions lying to Congress and not being a worthy Attorney General.

Perjury is a serious crime, especially when committed by the United States' top law enforcement officer. Congress should demand Sessions's resignation now and then investigate the potential crime. No one should be above the law.

The Republican Senate stole the nomination and Democrate should not allow that action to stand.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath at his confirmation hearing about his contacts with Russian officials during the presidential campaign while he was a foreign policy advisor for then candidate Trump. He must resign, and his successor must appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Russian ties to the Trump administration.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath at his confirmation hearing about his contacts with Russian officials during the presidential campaign while being a foreign policy advisor for for then candidate Trump.

The integrity of our democracy is under attack by foreign powers and the executive branch is taking no action. Voters view the integrity of the United States democratic process at its lowest since the resignation of Richard Nixon. Our legislators must enact the checks and balances of our government and take action.

The web of lies surrounding the Trump administration and its relationship to Russia needs to be thoroughly investigated by an independent special prosecutor. Additionally, the fact that Jeff Sessions lied under oath during his nomination hearings makes him unfit to be attorney general and he needs to resign. America deserves to know the truth about how Russia impacted the election and whether it will continue to influence the Trump administration.

The Washington Post just revealed that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath at his confirmation hearing about his contacts with Russian officials during the presidential campaign, when he was a foreign policy advisor to Trump. Key GOP leaders have called on Sessions to recuse himself from Russia investigations, but that's not enough. The fact that he perjured himself demands his immediate resignation and the appointment of a special prosecutor by his successor to lead a comprehensive investigation of the Trump campaign and the Trump administration's ties to the Russian government. We need to pressure Republicans in Congress to do the right thing and join their Democratic colleagues in calling for Sessions' resignation

After the hateful rhetoric of the last election season and dangerous actions of the new presidential administration, many undocumented families in Massachusetts now live in heightened fear of deportation and separation. Muslims are also an arbitrary target through a proposed "registry". The Safe Communities Act would address both of these issues and push back at the regressive policies being imposed across the nation. Massachusetts leadership has helped shape the nation’s consciousness on civil rights. Today, we need to see that kind of courage from our state legislators on behalf of immigrants and Muslims in our communities.

U.S. immigration agents detained 22-year-old Daniela Vargas just hours after she courageously spoke about her fear of deportation at a press conference. She was afraid because two weeks ago, ICE officers raided her home and detained both her brother and father while she hid, terrified, in her closet for four hours. Dany came to the U.S. when she was seven years old and was a beneficiary of the DACA program, which grants a legal status to undocumented immigrants. She is a manager at a small store and dreams of becoming a math teacher. Like many beneficiaries of the DACA program, Dany found that paying the nearly $500 in fees every two years was hard, and her DACA status expired. However, she saved up, got the money together, and her renewal application is now in the approval process. But because of this technicality, ICE tracked her down and put her into the deportation pipeline—just hours after she courageously spoke out about this issue.

Clear and compelling evidence exists that Russia meddled in our presidential election, perhaps determining the outcome. The scandal reaches deep into the government. Members of the administration--including the current attorney general--have lied under oath about their contacts with Russian officials. The health of our democracy requires a thorough and impartial investigation by a special prosecutor.

An independent prosecutor must be assigned to investigate Trump. The Republicans in the House and Senate have joined together to ensure that there will not be a thorough unbiased investigation into a foreign power hacking into our Presidential elections. In the two months since this administration has been in the White House, continuous lying is the foundation of their governing. The Republican held house and Senate are joining in a cover up of what could be the most traitorous actions by any government officials in our history. They are not protecting the American people, but are protecting their power. We need to start demanding the truth from our government officials. Our voices were united at the March, now let's join together again to unite around this issue. Our goal is to do a monthly economic strike. Join us for the first one on March 20th, this means no food shopping, snacks, gas, drug stores, on-line shopping, nothing, but you can buy a newspaper.
