It’s not a ceasefire if the killing continues on one side. Mass atrocities are being carried out by Netanyahu in Lebanon with U.S. backing. (1/3)
Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.
I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

We need to end corruption and ban Congressional stock trading. I just added my name to the 'ETHICS Act' to stop Washington politicians from personally profiting off their office.
Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not be allowed to trade stocks. Ban insider trading now.
