“Good riddance,” @RepRichmond says about Attorney General Barr considering leaving his post before January 20, the day President Trump leaves office.
Barr acted more like Trump’s “personal attorney and ... damaged justice in America,” he added. cnn.it/3qA57Zk

I joined @Ilhan and @RepRichmond in condemning the treatment of Cameroonian migrants and asylum seekers by @ICEgov.
Cameroonians fleeing political persecution should not be deported to a war zone, especially during a pandemic.

Praying for President Trump and his wife. States and localities should be careful when opening up. After this, we all should follow the advice of the health professionals. This pandemic is not a hoax. #WearAMask
