But yet, Donald Trump is bartering and holding hostage American taxpayer dollars for the sake of his personal political benefit.

He's committing -- he is committing -- he is committing these acts that are violations of the law in the open, in the plain sight of the American people.

That's called a confession. That also happens a lot in criminal cases.

it's further evidence of corruption by this administration, and the personal attorney of the president of the United States clearly implicitly being given permission to act as though he is an arm of the government and the State Department.

It's just being observant, because he has committed crimes in plain sight.

Police violence is gun violence.

We need to be on the inside, not just trying to change the system from the outside.

Our criminal justice system must be reformed to value families.

Our system has declared war on whole communities instead of addressing their needs.

We need to stop separating families through our criminal justice system.

I will work to stop the inhumanity being committed by the Trump administration at the border.

We need reasonable gun safety laws in this country including universal background checks and a renewal of the assault weapons ban.

My plan is that we will put in place $100 billion to invest in historically redlined communities and families.

Poverty creates trauma and impacts future generations.

We can't allow politicians to conflate mental health with the need for gun safety laws.

Poverty is trauma-inducing.

Gun violence is a public health issue, and it needs to be treated as such.

I've hugged so many homicide victims' mothers who would come to my office.

The Constitution is a living document, and its principles must be applied to the realities of today.

Let's look at the fact that over such a long period of time we have been taking resources out of public education.

Part of my plan is ending mass incarceration and shutting down for-profit prisons.

My housing plan will focus on historically redlined communities.
