One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Thinking of David Garrett. We went through basic together at PI, Camy Lejeune and Pendleton with orders to VN In 1967. On our way to CA David loved to say he got me a role in the new Tarzan movie, the punchline being, “they’re looking to replace Cheeta.” Only your friends made jokes like that. RIP

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

He's delusional but also lies constantly about literally everything, plus he's always bragging, so it's hard to tell. And he doesn't really care what's true.
