Please sign my petition to stop the GOP from cutting Medicaid by $1 trillion. These kids don’t deserve to suffer from the bad decisions of their parents, nor do the millions of other Americans who did not vote for FOTUS www.change.org/StopGOPSlash...

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

“When we look at Auschwitz we see the end… It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanisation & escalating violence.”
