It's been 14 years since Trayvon Martin was killed simply because of the color of his skin. My heart breaks for his family, who never got justice.
No parent should fear for their child's safety because of their skin color. We must keep fighting for a country where every child is protected and safe.
Thanks to Trump’s illegal war in Iran, our costs are going up. In King County, residents are now paying a whopping $4.87 a gallon for gas.
We need to put an end to this now.

“I feel frozen, scared, and angry.”
Wesley Powers, a U.S. Navy veteran, was attacked with a chemical agent and detained by ICE. Listen to his story.
"You ought to come back to us with some data" -- Dick Durbin dogwalks Peter Schweizer over his wild, evidence-free claims about a plague of Chinese "birth tourism"
UPDATE: The Rep. Jody Barrett & Sen. Mark Pody abortion death penalty bill FAILED in the house
Wow!!!!!
Video footage published by Bellingcat appears to show a Tomahawk missile striking a compound adjacent to the school.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Rand Paul: "I think we've gotten overextended. This is our second war in a month, and these wars are very very expensive not only in the lives that are lost, but also in treasure. I'm very very concerned about the debt. Half a trillion dollars for the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."
Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years.
Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?
Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”
Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs
Trump threatens to withhold his signature on bills until Congress passes the SAVE Act.
Wow. Devastating leverage...
EXCEPT the Constitution says that bills passed while Congress is in session become law automatically after 10 days with OR without his signature.
So he's threatening to do - nothing.
Reminder: DHS is still routinely violating people’s constitutional rights.
Democrats must continue to fight to rein them in.

A federal judge STRIKES DOWN the District of N.J.’s post-Alina Habba regime, consisting of a “triumvirate” of so-called “special attorneys.”
Judge Brann’s blistering opinion warns that “scores of dangerous criminals” can have their convictions reversed if Trump insists on illegal appointments.
Photo of prices on a RaceTrac gas station sign. The prices today were: “Regular $3.299; Diesel $4.699”
Today in SE Louisiana, where they drill for oil, I paid $3.299 a gallon compared to 9 days ago when I paid $2.359. That is a 94 cent increase, so far, & the prices in other states are much higher.
The increase in gas prices will make everything else more expensive, too. #TrumpsGasProblem
The NYT found that doctors hired by Epstein, for himself, the girls & women he associated with, bent or broke ethical rules. Epstein rewarded some of these medical professionals with substantial fees, gifts, & donations.
Complicity = guilt. Consequences 4 all!
People don't want to live in a single-party country. I live in a single-party R state. The cities are blue, so they're not so bad, but outside the blue zones, people get as little as the state can get by with. No rural hospitals or clinics, no Medicaid expansion, bad roads, meager public services.
never in history has someone with so much wealth begged for such a long pity parade. this dude should be the subject of a million villain oriented campaigns, from his election meddling to producing kiddie porn to mocking his weird baby breeding compound
In all due respect, these people are not armed, are not trained, and are not in Iran.
Reza Pahlavi and his team have the broad support of the Iranian people and are ready to take over, on an interim basis, until local and national elections.
It is in every democracy’s interest to get rid of the Basiji run government. So Trump prepared for this by alienating all but one of our allies, an ally which has already been crippled in the eyes of other countries by its own corrupt leadership. Has there ever been a president this incompetent!?
