You can't just keep on feeding the patient chemotherapy and say, well, we are killing the cancer because we were getting to the point where we are killing the patient.

President Trump, of course, promised the disease would magically disappear. He advertised quack medical cures like injecting people with disinfectant.

The Episcopal archbishop of Washington wrote, said that 'using police force to clear nonviolent protestors without notice in order to conduct this grotesque photo opportunity was antithetical to the principles of Christianity.'

African Americans often feel treated as suspects first and citizens second.

Every instance of excessive force is unacceptable and must be addressed appropriately through legal process.

Until just the last 50 years ago or so, our laws and institutions were explicitly racist, explicitly discriminatory.

Those issues obviously relate to the relationship between law enforcement and the African-American community.

William Barr's views of presidential power are so radically mistaken, that he is simply the wrong man at the wrong time to be Attorney General of the United States.

I also think we should not be party to confusion and disinformation about masks.

In 2016, we experienced a sweeping and systematic cyber-attack on our election by Vladimir Putin's Internet Research Agency.

We got hit in 2014 with the massive cyber breach at OPM by China, and that caused massive damage to our country.

Let's come back to America where our people are suffering.

American apartheid lasted until the modern civil rights movement, when the blood sacrifice of John Lewis and Medgar Evers, Schwerner, Chaney, and Goodman, and Dr. King gave us the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965…

If Congress can redraw the boundaries of the Federal District to protect the property rights of a few hundred slave masters in the 19th century, surely we can redraw the boundaries of the Federal District to protect the democratic rights…
