Yoel Alonso Leal is a loving father, devoted husband, and cancer patient who should be preparing for the fight of his life with a team of doctors and his family by his side. Instead he spent over ten months being shuttled through a series of secretive ICE detention centers, his health rapidly deteriorating, before being deported on September 12 to Cuba—a country where he fears for his life. We cannot let ICE destroy lives like this with impunity and demand Congress hold ICE to account.

This is insane. After Saudi Arabia's oil facilities were attacked, Trump tweeted that the U.S. military is "locked and loaded" and "waiting to hear from the Kingdom ... under what terms we would proceed!" Sorry Trump, but we are not Saudi Arabia's army. No U.S. soldier—nor anyone else in the region—should die in a dumb and disastrous war to defend Saudi Arabia's dictatorship. ---------- Source: @realDonaldTrump tweet, Sep 15, 2019, 6:50 PM: "Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!" https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1173368423381962752

My petition is bringing back late start Tuesday. STUDENTS at mchenry West and east campus need late start Tuesday back because we need our sleep, yes we have early release but they’re not consistent, they’re every 3-4 weeks, which doesn’t give us a big benefit

Pleasanton city plans to reduce car lanes on a busy road to make way for permanent bike lanes. Yes, will cause big traffic bottlenecks.

Curtailing family planning services for low-income Idahoans on Medicaid (i.e., women) is obstructive, discriminatory, and contrary to Idaho voters' Medicaid expansion initiative.

Stop bigotry and the destruction of the environment.

Let's preserve the beauty of the Pointe. The beauty is why we all purchased our lands. The majestic views of mountains and Lake.

Going downtown Minneapolis is dangerous, robberies are up 53% and it seems that a weekend doesn't go by where people are shot in downtown Minneapolis. It doesn't have to be this way.

Vice President Mike Pence visits Dublin, Ireland for official business -- and stays at a Trump hotel 200 miles away on the taxpayers’ dime. T-Mobile needs Trump’s approval to buy Sprint -- and their CEO spends nearly $200,000 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington. And on its way back from a routine trip to the Middle East, an Air National Guard crew makes a stop that’s anything but routine -- at Trump’s luxury waterside resort in Scotland. Foreign diplomats, Republican lawmakers, lobbyists, and candidates who are eager to curry favor with the President have spent millions at Trump-owned properties. And unlike EVERY modern president before him, Trump has refused to divest from his businesses -- so he reaps the profits. It’s fundamentally corrupt for a president to privately profit from his public office. That’s why our Constitution expressly forbids it -- banning the president from accepting payment, or “emoluments,” from foreign parties and accepting more than his salary from federal or state governments. Right now, Congressional Democrats are investigating whether Trump has violated the Emoluments Clause. This investigation must be thorough and uninterrupted -- because the American people expect our leaders to be held to the highest possible ethical standards.

It’s time to fix the broken Electoral College. In two of the past five presidential elections, the candidate who won the popular vote lost the election. And in every presidential race, candidates are forced to focus their attention on only a handful of swing states -- ignoring the vast majority of voters nationwide. But right now, we can reform the Electoral College and make presidential elections more inclusive and competitive -- with the National Popular Vote Compact. Here’s how it works: if enough states require their electors to vote for the winner of the nationwide popular vote (rather than the state popular vote), it would fix the problems of the Electoral College without needing to amend the Constitution. National Popular Vote won’t take effect until enough states have joined in, but we’re closer to that than you might think -- 15 states and D.C. have already signed on, totaling 196 electoral votes of the needed 270 Electoral College votes. We deserve a President who's chosen by the majority of Americans -- and presidential races that make candidates engage with voters in all 50 states. Add your name to urge more states to join the National Popular Vote Compact.
