Not only is this war with Iran illegal and costly, the lives of innocent young men and women will be lost because Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn.

He’s lied again but that’s typical of this lying President. He promised the American people he would not go to war for regime change. We’ve got to stop this crazy deranged disturbed man.

The Constitution is clear - the president cannot go to war without approval from Congress. Enough is enough! Americans do not want this war.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a day set aside to increase HIV awareness and enhance prevention, testing, and treatment among African Americans. It is a day to commemorate the impact of HIV/AIDS on Black Americans and encourage continued efforts to reduce the incidence of HIV, eliminate health disparities, improve access to care and treatment, and show support for all those who are living with HIV/AIDS.

The removal of the brochure that honors Medgar Evers and the identification of the racist, Byron De La Beckwith, who killed him, is but another attempt by racist Trump to deny the history of Black people in this country. It adds to his pattern of erasing the history and the contributions of Black people from the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, other Smithsonian museums, other Federal buildings and websites, and the National Park Service. Trump, you are not fit to run this country. And no matter your dirty deeds, we are going to fight you, and we are going to win!

Donald Trump is a brazen, cruel, and deplorable racist. Everyone knows who and what Donald Trump is, even the people who vote for him. Trump's most recent social media display of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama is a deranged demonstration of in-your-face racism. Recently, Trump, in his racist attempt to erase the history and the contributions of Black people, ordered the National Park Service to remove visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument because they called the Klansman murderer of Medgar Evers, a racist. Exploitation of racism has always been a long-term plan of Steve Bannon and Trump. In 2018, Bannon said, "Let them call you racist. Let them call you xenophobes. Let them call you nativists. Wear it as a badge of honor. Because every day, we get stronger and they get weaker."

February is Black History Month! 100 years ago, Carter G. Woodson founded Black History Week. 50 years ago, President Gerald Ford extended it to Black History Month. The contributions, the sacrifices, and the history of Black people in this country should never be forgotten, ignored, or disrespected. Trump is working aggressively to remove the history of slavery and the contributions of Black people from the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, other Smithsonian museums, other Federal buildings and websites, and the National Park Service. Trump, you can keep pushing your white supremacist agenda, but that will never wipe out our contributions! We take this month to celebrate our history, memorialize our ancestors, and rejoice in who we are. We will never be forgotten, no matter what you try to do.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 220 to 207 to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats lost that vote. 206 Democrats and 1 Republican voted against the funding; 213 Republicans and 7 Democrats voted for it. The bill now goes to the Senate. Senate Minority Leader Schumer is working to deny ICE funding from the Homeland Security funding bill. I am hoping and praying that the Senate Democrats and at least some compassionate Senate Republicans will vote to kill the ICE funding or end it in some other way. The trauma that Trump is causing, the loss of life that he is directing, moves me not only to support the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem but also to impeach Trump. Our country is at a critical moment, with a deranged President, a weak and incompetent cabinet, off-and-on threats of increased tariffs against our allies, growing anger from members of NATO regarding his threat to take over Greenland, and Trump’s outrageous firings and cuts in his domestic agenda, are creating harm and devastation to far too many American families!

The murder of Alex Pretti is stunning and heartbreaking. This murder, following the murder of Renée Good, is shattering the rule of law and the reputation of our democracy. The people of our country must continue to organize, protest, speak up, demand, and not allow Trump and his armed ICE and Border Patrol killers to continue this murderous attack on the people. Deportation efforts should never include the murderous attacks we are witnessing in Minnesota, as well as the assaults and abuse we are witnessing in other states in this country. The leadership of Minnesota is demanding that Trump shut down the ICE and Border Patrol operations in Minnesota and have them all leave immediately. The Governor and the Mayor have called out the National Guard, which is now in Minneapolis. Thank you to the National Guard of Minnesota for the support they are giving to the protesters. The National Guard has been issued yellow vests to distinguish itself from ICE and other federal agents, such as the Border Patrol. I am told ICE and Border Patrol are now wearing the same-colored yellow vests to confuse protestors and continue their murderous rampage. Trump, you need to stop this now. You need to honor the request of the Governor and pull ICE and Border Patrol out of Minnesota before you create what you have alluded to, a civil war. Trump, have you no decency, have you no morality, have you no shame for what you are doing? Stop it now, get ICE and Border Patrol out of Minneapolis and Minnesota!
