Like many Americans, I watched in horror as the news rolled in this past weekend about the mass shooting unfolding at a church in Texas. My heart broke at the stories of children and parishioners gunned down in their place of worship. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and dread the loved ones of the victims must feel — from classrooms in Sandy Hook to concerts in Las Vegas, it feels like no place is safe from mass shootings anymore.

Donald Trump ran for president on a promise to "drain the swamp." I agreed with that particular statement. Unfortunately, he didn't mean what he said. The recent actions of Trump and several White House officials prove this administration hasn't drained the swamp — it has become the swamp.

But that doesn't mean Congress can't drain the swamp ourselves.
