I opposed to a bill that directly targets churches, charities, and nonprofits that provide bail support to families navigating a deeply unequal justice system. Bail support was a cornerstone of the civil rights movement, allowing people to protest unjust laws without fear they'd be locked away.

To wrap up small business week, I visited and held a roundtable with a few minority-owned small business owners from the Yemeni community in Temescal to hear about the unique challenges minority-owned small businesses face, to hear about their innovative ideas, and to try some delicious food!

Republicans claim to care about fraud, and then elect and capitulate to a felon. If we want real investigations into fraud in this country we need to start by retaining prosecutors, and then we need to take a good hard look at Donald Trump and his Administration.
