It’s been two years since Donald Trump issued his discriminatory Muslim travel ban, preventing travelers, vetted refugees and their families – and even green card holders – from entering the United States.
Since then, Donald Trump has time and again wrongfully characterized entire countries, faiths and peoples in pursuit of xenophobic and sometimes hateful policies.
Families are fearful of flying home to see loved ones, while refugees and asylum seekers wait endlessly in dangerous situations. Turning people away from our country because of where they were born or the religion they practice is wholly un-American & betrays our nation’s values.
I’m proud to support @SenBlumenthal’s resolution to recognize the second anniversary of Trump’s travel ban. We can do much more to recognize and support the rights of refugees

These residents have every right to be outraged: the Trump EPA is letting them down and refusing to take basic steps to determine whether thousands of families are breathing in toxic chemicals every day.

I wrote to @EPA Assistant Admin Bill Wehrum urging them to update their EtO safety standards, to be more transparent with the public & to begin air quality monitoring in Lake County. We must know how serious of a public health threat these facilities pose. duckworth.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Mr. Wehrum has spent his career putting profits ahead of the health and well-being of his fellow Americans. Stories like this are deeply concerning and are one of the reasons I placed a hold on his nomination. politico.com/story/2019/02/…

This bipartisan deal is not perfect, but it prevents another wasteful and unnecessary government shutdown that hurts our economy and holds the paychecks of hundreds of thousands of government employees and contractors hostage.
Instead of forcing federal workers and their families to once again go without pay, this deal gives them a well-deserved cost-of-living increase.
It increases our investments in infrastructure, public health and environmental safety and it provides local communities with more resources to address the opioid epidemic.

Far too many Americans are still forced to choose between having a career and taking time off to care for a newborn or tend to an ailing loved one...
Every new parent should be able to take those exhausting, emotional, irreplaceable first few weeks with their baby without having to forgo their paycheck or lose their job, just like I was fortunate enough to do last spring after giving birth to my second daughter...
No one should be fired for taking time off to care for a loved one, like my husband was after he used all of his unpaid leave to be by my hospital bedside after I was wounded in Iraq...

What happens after the thrill (of Russian Collusion) is gone...?

Here's the full text from the article:

"As the perpetrators of one of the most shameful scandals in American political history begin slowly to retreat, we are left to ponder one overarching question:

What now?
The tale we’ve been told for more than two years—that Donald Trump’s campaign team, possibly even the candidate himself, colluded with the Kremlin to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election—has been exposed as a lie.

50/ In early 2017, a bizarre photo of a glowing orb illuminated the Trump presidency for what it is: “unbelievable, almost otherworldly naffness,” writes James Parker. And Trump “is in his element.” bit.ly/2AJnPoW

.@julie_kelly2: Trump Works While NeverTrump Predicts Doom—Again bit.ly/2EUSfY7
While the president worked during the holidays—including surprise trips with the first lady to greet U.S. troops in Iraq and Germany—anti-Trump “conservatives” worked hard on their laptops to warn Americans of impending doom for Trump’s presidency.

Again.
In an uncharitable Christmas Day screed, National Review senior editor Jonah Goldberg served up some flashbacks from his NeverTrump past to yet again warn that Trump’s presidency will “end poorly.”
