Rev. Al Sharpton: “I am glad to see Mr. Bloomberg now admit that the policy [stop-and-frisk] was wrong. He called me after his speech and I communicated to him that it will take more than one speech for people to forgive and forget a policy that so negatively impacted entire communities.”

Congressman Al Green: “The August ICE raids reflect a complete disregard for humane policies, inflicting significant harm on impacted communities by straining limited resources, separating families, and decreasing overall participation in the local economy…We heard the testimonies of witnesses – including a local sheriff and mayor – who gave their accounts about how these raids have brought damaging effects to Mississippi communities.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “It is no exaggeration to call Community Health Centers a lifeline for millions of Americans. “President Trump and the Republicans tried and failed to destroy the Affordable Care Act in Congress. Now they’re in the courts still trying to kick millions off their health care. We are standing together to push back on this relentless assault on people’s basic health.”

Senator Bernie Sanders: “When we first started out to use the War Powers Act to end this unconstitutional war, we faced an uphill battle. But we are building a powerful grassroots movement to stop this humanitarian nightmare. The activists, scholars, and national security experts who led this letter are exactly right: Congress must now stand up to this president and block every nickel of taxpayer money from going to this unconstitutional war.”

Rep. Hastings: “The President’s latest impulsive decision is outright dangerous and appalling. In sanctioning Turkish military action against the American-trained Kurdish forces who fought and died on the front lines against the Islamic State, the President has abandoned our allies in Syria and made an egregious strategic error. This will undoubtedly pave the way for massacre and humanitarian disaster.

[Trump Impeachment News]
Joint Statement by Democratic Committee Chairs: “The transcript is an unambiguous, damning, and shocking abuse of the Office of the Presidency for personal political gain. This is a clear breach of trust placed in the President to faithfully execute the laws and to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. The record of the call released by the White House confirms our worst fears: that the President abused his office by directly and repeatedly asking a foreign country to investigate his political rival and open investigations meant to help the President politically.”

Senator Menendez: “Continuing reports that government officials have been staying at Trump properties are deeply alarming and raise serious concerns that Donald Trump is profiting off of the presidency. The American people expect their hard-earned taxpayer dollars will be used in supporting health care, quality education, safe roads and rails, and a strong national defense—not line the pockets of the president or any government official.”

Congressional Tri-Caucus statement: “The Tri-Caucus believes the Trump Administration’s public charge rule was written with the clear intent of intimidating and discriminating against immigrants of color. The rule is yet another attempt by the Trump Administration to create an immigration system that is stacked against non-European, non-white immigrants in favor of the wealthy.”

Bahamas Prime Minister Minnis: “Because of the massive devastation, The Bahamas could not, and cannot face this tragedy alone,” said the Prime Minister. “We have mobilized the entire government to meet this challenge, in partnership with the international community.”

Rep Joaquin Castro: “Our President is panicked by his inability to fulfill a racist campaign promise to build his wall… This Administration continues to normalize immoral and illegal behavior. We cannot become hardened to the President’s reckless rhetoric and his promise to ‘take the land,’ which only works to further demonize human beings fleeing to our border, seeking refuge from violence and persecution.”
