House in Session: Live Floor Proceedings
(Livestream)
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people. Weâre not falling for it.

Tunlichst wurde es vermieden, von einer âVerschĂ€rfungâ zu sprechen, wodurch der RĂŒcken fĂŒr VerĂ€nderungen in alle denkbaren Richtungen frei blieb.
