With the SMART Probation Act, Pennsylvania is paving the way for the rest of the United States to take action. Let's break the revolving door between probation & prison. #HB1555 #SB14 @REFORM

The more Boris is denounced as an extremist for making basic points that most people agree with, the more it helps him. My @telegraph column about the battle for public opinion: telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…

Quick Report from our @WCKitchen kitchen in Nassau! One helicopter already out today delivering hot meals in Abaco & we are getting loaded up for second trip now...also going to other small islands! #ChefsForBahamas

On this week's episode of the #VanJonesShow watch Van interview @CoryBooker & Congresswoman @RepKatiePorter TONIGHT at 7pm ET on @CNN. #VanJonesShow #CNN

Access to birth control and abortion affects a woman’s ability to continue her education, hold down jobs, & plan for her future. When laws push this reproductive healthcare out of reach, they undermine the economic security that women need to live happy, healthy lives.

Desecrating a synagogue to express hatred of Israel won't bring us closer to peace. This act is not a criticism of Israeli policy. It’s pure antisemitism, reminding us that antisemitism is increasing & that anti-Israel views & antisemitism are linked. jta.org/quick-reads/sp…

I have a feeling that Susan here speaks for many more people than any of us think - and that the next election is going to be transformational.

I don’t love Tony Abbott, former PM of Australia, but he’s absolutely right here: “Deciding to leave the EU, but failing to carry it through ... would be an epic defeat ... a national humiliation to echo down the ages, shattering to all who look to the UK for inspiration”.

Oh the irony of these anti-brexit lunatics screaming about democracy when they are hell bent on overturning the biggest democratic vote in British history #Brexit

For the record: Israel was established by a 33 to 13 vote of the United Nations on land taken by U.K. from Turkey in WW1 Voting for Israel were US, USSR, Bolivia, Brazil, Denmark, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Liberia, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Philippines...

The racist, antisemitic, anti-Catholic, anti-Muslim, & anti-immigrant views of the Ku Klux Klan are disgusting Your attempt to conjoin the KKK to those carrying Israeli flags to protest your antisemitism is also disgusting The KKK hates Jews as well as blacks, Muslims & others

These 6 politicians are plotting to cancel the votes of 17.4 million people. 🔵 We respect the result of the EU Referendum. 🔵 We will get Brexit done by October 31st and take this country forward. ✍️ Show them they can't ignore it. ➡️ go.conservatives.com/backingbrexit

The solution to the issues that face our public schools is not to give up on seeking excellence in our students. We should be expanding gifted programs to every community, not eliminating them.

.@PennyMordaunt: 'My message to MPs is this: Brexit is going to happen, one way or another. Now, the only way to avoid no deal, is to get a deal. And to get a deal you need to back the Prime Minister' ow.ly/IbTn30pn2xG

That sound you hear is the British constitution being drowned in the bathtub.

I don’t understand how u think a nation that put its soldiers in peril 2 rescue Ethiopian Jews, a nation where Arabs have =rights, where Arabs serve in parliament, as generals, as bank presidents, run factories, hold professorships, r doctors etc etc, can be an apartheid nation
