Why can't we see what is going on in these horror camps?

It's been months now since we gained power in the House.
Where are the investigations?

And I'm going to ask this again:
Why haven't our party's leadership filed a lawsuit for access on day one of taking power? Or even before for that matter.

My Congressperson hasn't answered me yet.
Contact yours and ask them why.

Why are they waiting?
We've known about this for months and months.
Where are lawsuits?

This and the fact that the Mueller findings are fading away is just maddening to me.

My faith in this party is being tested.

Doing the right thing (even if it saves lives) is far less important than winning the next election.

The images from the embedded reporters/journalist played an integral role in educating the American public and changing opinions. Mainstream covert reporting would have an immediate and dramatic impact on this horrible situation.

Those television images during the Vietnam War were sobering. Politicians couldn’t hide from the truth because we took to the streets and demanded an end to the horror. We did it without cell phones, without computers, even without a telephone in some cases.

I’ve marched and protested many times since and can’t, for the life of me, understand why the streets aren’t filled with people protesting what Trump has done to those imprisoned children and to this country.

I did read tonight wheee Pelosi announces that the senate will be allocating funding to make sure the immigrants are taken care of as well as finding better facilities. I am wondering why the UN hasn’t charged Trump with Crimes Against Humanity

companies.
The owners and management of such companies could be easily subpoenaed, and could not resist in the way the Administration's lackeys have.
Please, let the subpoenas flow....
