Two U.S. citizens have been killed by ICE agents under extremely questionable circumstances. No investigation, no accountability. All part of the President's attempt to confiscate voter rolls. Believe your eyes and ears and stand up and speak out against what we know is wrong.

All routine ICE Operations should be suspended. Two Americans are dead. The use of deadly force is not a time to "just move on." More may be killed. Suspend and investigate. This is out of control. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

4 years ago, Jerry and I inherited my father in law’s dog, Ray. Today, we had to put him down. We are sad but grateful for the joy, unconditional love, and peace he gave us everyday. He was a Good Dog.

Today House Republicans found out there is life after going against the President when he is dead wrong. I pray the Senate will follow the House’s lead and vote for America’s women and girls. Release the files; hold pedophiles accountable. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In 2016, then candidate Trump said β€œI could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”

But surely we would not turn our heads as he covers for pedophiles and covers up crimes against underage girls.

Would we?

In July, Trump's DOJ and FBI said there was no evidence to charge people based on the Epstein files.

Turns out Trump is all over them.

Now of course he's calling for an investigation (of his enemies) which would block the release of more emails.

America, don’t fall for it.

So proud to attend the Change of Command Ceremony for the Apopka Police Department. We commend outgoing Chief McKinley for a job well done, and congratulate incoming Chief Quinn-Henry on her appointment. Apopka continues to be in good hands.

In Florida, Obamacare Price Hikes Pose an Outsized Threat

POTUS just pardoned George Santos, convicted of fraud. At the same time, he's illegally pushing the prosecution of Lisa Cook and Letitia James for alleged fraud. When guilt or innocence depends on a president who punishes people who honor their oaths, we no longer have Justice.

A group of influential Republican officials & staff make horrific racist remarks and praise the Nazis and the Vice President refuses to condemn them. I guess we still have a β€œrace” problem.

Joined Katy Tur to talk about how Republican leaders give Donald Trump whatever he wants. If the government is shut down and people are losing their jobs, it's because Donald Trump wants it.

Good to see airports refuse to blatantly violate the Hatch Act by playing a political video created by the Secretary of β€œHomeland Security,” Kristi Noem. Madam Secretary, your job is to keep us safe, not fight illegal partisan battles. Open the government.

I join the women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. from around the world in mourning the passing of our beloved 25th National President, Dr. Paulette C. Walker. President Walker was a bold visionary who touched my life in so many ways.

On Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, we pray for the families of those killed in a terrorist attack in Manchester, England. Good men and women must come together and never let hate win.

Don’t believe anything POTUS and his enablers in congress tell you. They have proven in the β€œBig Bill” that they will take from working families and give to their rich friends. If the government shuts down, it’s clearly on those in charge. The con game is over.

Former FBI Director Jim Comey indicted, even after career prosecutors thought there wasn’t enough evidence to move forward. A president ordering prosecution of whomever he perceives as his political enemies is a dark turning point in America. Pray for your children.

Donald Trump gave trillions of dollars in tax breaks to his rich friends and will now shut the government down because dems will not agree to cutting funds for everyday Americans. Don’t fall for this con man’s con.

Live Updates: After Meeting With Zelensky at U.N., Trump Shifts Stance on Russia

I am not a psychologist but like every police officer I played one on the street.

There is something seriously wrong with POTUS. He is broken, angry, vindictive, destructive, dark, isolated.

America's beauty must be our belief in hope - in a fair and free future. Let's win it.

Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash

No police chief would hire someone who'd taken a bribe to be an officer. Yet the man who now serves as border czar took a bag of money as a bribe for favors. That’s what criminals do. Administration says nothing to see here. There’s a tape. Release it. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Commissioner Mable Butler was a force to reckon with. When she saw a good fight, she did not run away. Sometimes, she started the fight. Orlando and Orange County are better off because of her unwavering commitment to making her community a better place for all people.

We can and do condemn this week's vicious assassination. But let's not whitewash history in the process. We can reject violence and also reject hateful ideologies. We can do both.

Let's not pretend we were born yesterday. President Trump has made it clear that he will enthusiastically endorse and materially support brutal, deadly political violence for his own benefit.

When a vicious assassination targeted Democrats this year, the president said, "why waste time?" expressing sympathies. Let's condemn ALL violence.

Trump now says rhetoric causes violence? He's right. But he's suspect #1. This is a man who divides America into supporters and enemies and there can be no disagreement. This rhetoric hurts every American. If a disagreement means death, you're not free.
