Blanche and Clayton -- a hard NO on both!

After the confirmation hearings today it is more clear than ever that both Jay Clayton and Todd Blanche are unfit and dangerous. Their loyalty is to Donald Trump, not the Constitution. The Senator needs to vote no on both. Thanks.

End ICE. Reject Blanche. Remove Trump. You are not doing enough to check and balance Executive Branch power. ICE should not be killing anyone. The DOJ should not be covering up illegal behavior. Trump's personal attorney Blanche has no business being AG. Take effective action!

Oppose cloture on the NDAA.

I want the Senator to oppose cloture on the NDAA. This is for two reasons. First, I strongly oppose Section 1217, which would mandate an endless military and intelligence partnership with Israel that is contrary to our national interests. Second, a $1.5T military budget is absolutely insane. America

Stop ICE terroristic Gestapo tactics and street executions
