I vehemently stand against any sort of racial, cultural, or religious intolerance that threatens to divide the melting pot our country has become. If we want to uphold the principle of equality that this country prides itself on, we must not let fear tear us apart."

It's depressing to admit, but let's do it anyway: there are few politicians in the world more skilled at manipulating Twitter than President Trump.
So over the past few months, 48-year-old Congressman Ted Lieu (D-California) has decided to try and master the platform, slowly emerging as the President's most adept social media opponent.

Representative Ted Lieu, D-CA, speaks on the meeting between Rex Tillerson and Vladimir Putin. He also discusses the United States policies regarding Syria.
In the packed auditorium at the Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles, a vortex of entertainment industry power and current progressive political woe, comedian Kathy Griffin — tiny, insistently red-tressed — erupts in full-throttle rasp at the man in the boxy gray suit as he finishes up on stage.
“I saw you on the Joy Reid show on MSNBC,” Griffin says, coming up from the audience to address Rep. Ted Lieu, a second-term Democrat from the South Bay who was speaking at the CAA Foundation’s Take Action Day. “You’re giving us hope!”

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) are calling on the FCC to take "swift action" on a known cellphone security flaw.

As if you didn’t have other things to worry about, add “think about the threat of nuclear war” to your to-do list.
