I am an immigrant, a former White House aide, and a Haitian-American. Yesterday, in a moment of unbridled racism and during a meeting concerning changes in immigration policy, Trump referred to my homeland, El Salvador, and African nations as "shithole countries." Trump's recent comments just prove what we’ve already known for a long time: that the man who occupies the Oval Office is indeed a racist. Trump has always been a racist. He started his business career as a racist. He started his political career as a racist. Now, in the White House, he is using his racism to drive his policy. Will you stand with me and call on Congress to reject Trump's racism and all the policies that stem from it?

We, the people of Missouri, would like to tell the nation that we are a state that refuses to accept this kind of behavior from anyone, let alone a state politician.

We shouldn’t be surprised by Trump's comments about Black immigrants from Haiti and African nations. He has never hidden his racist, white supremacist agenda. What is shocking, however, is Congress' refusal to stop his racist attacks on immigrants. We won't stand for this. Congress must repudiate Trump's hate , but not simply by saying they disagree with it. They must stand up for immigrant communities by passing protections for dreamers and TPS families immediately and by repealing the Muslim Ban. On Monday, the Trump administration announced it was eliminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 200,000 of our neighbors and loved ones from El Salvador who have lived in the U.S. for decades. This announcement is the latest in a rampage of attacks on immigrant communities, including canceling TPS for over 60,000 people from Haiti, Sudan, and Nicaragua, and putting 800,000 immigrant youth at risk of being deported and ripped from their homes by ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. And on Thursday, in response to a bipartisan Senate proposal to find a permanent solution for Dreamers and TPS recipients, Trump called Haiti and African countries "shitholes" in a White House meeting. This is beyond unacceptable! Trump's racist remark makes it painfully clear that he has no intention of working with Congress to find a solution for immigrant youth and families and no respect for our nation's immigration traditions or the incredible contributions immigrants have made. The only thing he intends to do is promote a white supremacist agenda that rips families apart and demonizes communities of color.

I oppose ANY potential for the pulchritude we have from our beaches to the Chesapeake Bay to be destroyed. I will vote against anyone who supports the possibility of having to answer "How did this happen" or investigate who is responsible. No offshore drilling, the question never gets asked. Period.

Secretary Ryan Zinke: the people of Delaware are opposed to offshore drilling in our coastal waters. PLEASE TAKE US OFF YOUR LIST.

Scarcely a day goes by that the president does not make outrageous and offensive remarks that embarrass the country before the world, undermine the serious business of governing, and exacerbate divisions among the people. Congress must step up to reprimand this latest flagrantly racist remark, made in the presence of several of its members, or risk being seen as complicit in a dangerous degradation of our national dialog.

Trump's comments terrified friends of mine from various backgrounds and that was the first time that I cried instead of just getting angry because of a Trump statement. Anybody who had any doubt now knows that Trump is a racist.

Take a stand against White Supremacy and Racism. Democrats are in the minority, but they can take a bold stand and send a message stating ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!

Assembly Bill 547 would make it easier for companies to build on Wisconsin's wetlands and to discharge contaminated materials into wetlands. If we allow construction on these wetland environments without going through the proper environmental procedures, we risk the contamination of our waterways, the destruction of important ecosystems, and the reversal of flood protection that many communities depend upon. This legislation must be stopped before irreversible harm is done to Wisconsin's environment.

As an American, a parent, an education and a tax paying citizen, I am disgusted and saddened by the lack of character, compassion and decency of the current U.S. President.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering a “bloody nose” strike on North Korea, despite expert warnings across the political spectrum about the dangers of escalation. One bomb from Trump could launch full-scale war. Urge Congress to intervene immediately and prevent Trump’s “bloody nose” attack.

Tongva and Acjachemen tribal nations, environmentalists, and community members have been struggling to protect and preserve the Los Cerritos Wetlands for decades. These wetlands, at the mouth of the San Gabriel River on the east side of Long Beach, were once a vast estuary that supported the large Tongva community of Puvungna. Due to flood control measures, oil drilling, industrial, commercial, and residential development much has been lost, and what remains (the best salt marsh in Southern California) is now under assault from Beach Oil Mineral Partners, the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority, and other public and private entities supporting their project. Our immediate goal is to stop the extraction of 200 million barrels of oil from beneath the Los Cerritos Wetlands. The Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration and Oil Consolidation Project puts public safety and the environment at risk. 120 new wells will be drilled immediately adjacent to the Newport Inglewood Faultline, new pipelines will transport oil over the fault, and oil and wastewater will be stored and processed on site. Beach Oil Mineral Partners expanded oil operation will introduce dangerous slant drilling and water injection methods to extract oil and to reinject wastewater under the wetlands and surrounding areas. BOMP's wetlands "restoration", funded by selling pollution credits, will introduce toxic soil and water into our healthy salt marsh.
