As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

Today, we honored a hero. With deep pride and heartfelt remembrance, we unveiled a statue in tribute to our beloved K9 Graffit. #Graffit
