It’s a little late for elected Republicans to take a moral high ground. Overwhelmingly, they have rallied to protect rich child sexual predators. Raping children was once considered the worst of the worst. Clean them all out, from the White House, to the Senate, to the House.

Trump is giving your taxpayer dollars to violent criminals who attacked police on Jan 6. He says "in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me."

This is insane.

He's getting geared up to create more chaos to try to stop you from voting.

He underestimates us.

Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act basically said, based on their history, we cannot trust southern states to do right by black voters. Therefore, any changes to voting laws had to be approved by the federal government.

As soon as the Supreme Court declared racism over, southern states could not wait to get back to extreme racism. If they think we are going to sit back and let them take us back, they are sadly mistaken. Be careful what you ask for.

My beautiful, smart, kind, and caring granddaughter on Prom Night. She believes in the promise of America but we must continue to fight for it.

The fact that Netanyahu continues to strike Lebanon is a clear sign that Netanyahu dragged President Trump and the United States into this forever war without a clear plan for a U.S. victory. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Pray for our troops.

I had the privilege of visiting the City of Orlando Black History Month Exhibition with my friend, Reginald McGill. I am so proud of the exceptional work of all of the featured artist and want to thank Artist Richlin Burnett-Ryan for honoring me in such a special way. Black History is American History.

FBI Director Robert Mueller understood the assignment. He led the FBI and modeled his life on the principles of “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” America, we don’t have to settle for unprincipled and undisciplined people. Mueller never compromised American values for selfish gain. May he rest in peace.

Happy 38th Anniversary to my amazing husband, Orange County's Mayor and Florida's next Governor, Jerry Demings. To God be the Glory. for the things He has done and will do in our lives. Feeling blessed.

Perhaps the U.S. Department of Justice should allow the United Kingdom to handle the Epstein investigation and hold all co-conspirators accountable. Then they wouldn't have to worry about covering up for the president. https://t.co/NbSZ6mtCqH

Every time we overcome prejudice, discrimination, voter suppression, and other man-made barriers to opportunity, we should remember and thank Rev. Jesse Jackson for working to blaze a trail to the American Dream for all people. May he rest in peace.

@Cicotteg Cicotte, why are you so angry? The “shining city
on a hill” is the one President Reagan spoke about. Google it, if YOU don’t know. God bless and we should celebrate America as Bug Bunny did during the half-time show.

[Val Demings @valdemings]

My sons couldn't believe that I didn't know who Bad Bunny was. But I know this: the halftime show was an amazing celebration of the "shining city on a hill.” Real patriotism is believing in that dream of what America can be.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child molester and Donald Trump associate, is in a minimum security facility playing with puppies, because she promised to keep her mouth shut.

Remember America, “no lie can live forever.” Stand up for the victims.

In response to Trump's sad post about the Obamas, let me say this:
President and First Lady Obama have more class and intellect in one day than Donald Trump could muster up in a lifetime. Perhaps no one knows that more than him. Had enough yet America?

[Val Demings @valdemings]

Two U.S. citizens have been killed by ICE agents under extremely questionable circumstances. No investigation, no accountability. All part of the President's attempt to confiscate voter rolls. Believe your eyes and ears and stand up and speak out against what we know is wrong.

[Val Demings @valdemings]

All routine ICE Operations should be suspended. Two Americans are dead. The use of deadly force is not a time to "just move on." More may be killed. Suspend and investigate. This is out of control. https://t.co/kOKEl2hXzW

@DCPoliceDept We pause to honor the life and show gratitude for the service of Officer Bennett. Praying for his family, co workers and the people he served.

[Val Demings @valdemings]

Immigration laws matter. HOWEVER, due to the recent shootings and questions about ICE’s authority, recruiting, and training, all routine operations in communities should be suspended until an independent review. ICE should always coordinate with local law enforcement.
