Take a stand against 76 of what americans think is right. Several republicans and democrats including my first guest tonight, california senator harris spent the weekend making statements and tweeting strong opposition to President Trump ending daca. But in trumps mind, there was the looming headline that appears in breitbart today if the president did nothing about daca, and then, of course, there was the president himself. The candidate who campaigned on ending daca had only this to say when last asked about it on friday. Should d. R. E. A. M. Ers be worried . We love the dreamers. The president would delay a final big decision on daca for six months, an immigration hard
liner told the New York Times hes being pulled in a bunch of Different Directions and because he doesnt have any strong anchor or deep knowledge of the issue, he ends up sort of not knowing what to do. I think the fact that they did nothing to it suggests that they had no idea what to do. That was an assumption that
Im pleased two of the bills i have authored are part of the Senate Version. It would be ripped out by the republican version, so i strongly support the Bipartisan Senate version, one i authored with representative poe in a bipartisan way. And that was the safer act.

Commemorate as history, with a plaque, were the unmemorable speeches of two powerful men. And that block i think explains why this museum is so necessary. Because that same object reframed, put in context, tells us so much more. As americans, we rightfully passed on the tales of the giants who built this country. Let armies in the battle, the way the seminole debates in the halls of congress and the corridors of power. But too often, we ignored or forgot the stories of millions upon millions of others.

The industrialists, but also the port porter. The keeper of the status quo, but also the activist seeking to overthrow that status quo. The teac
