  • Trump's Transgender Military Ban
    "Banning any qualified person from serving their country, because of who they are is both discriminatory and bad national security policy. Trump will never understand complex military needs. He doesn't have the experience or intellectual capacity to learn. It is also ironic that Donald Trump who did everything to avoid Vietnam is stopping Trans people who want to serve. Lets look what is going on here. He is an impotent leader".

  • Challenging House Republicans & Trumpcare
    "Paul Ryan has absolutely no morals when it comes to what he hopes to bring in terms of health insurance," Gallego said to CNN. "He is more focused on making sure that the top one percent gets their tax cut than to make sure that Americans have lower premiums and more coverage." -- "You know, we've heard in politics all the time that you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. In this instance, we are essentially going to be killing Peter to make sure that Paul gets his tax cuts".

  • Republicans using Vet Bill to sneak funds for Trump Wall
    It's already abundantly clear that Mexico won't pay for Trump's stupid, dumb border wall. We must not allow precious resources to be robbed from our troops simply to score political points for Trump's ego".
