Just spent 5 very relaxed days in Puerto Vallarta. Lots of beach time, sun, and good Mexican beer.

I express my deepest condolences for the passing of President Jimmy Carter. He leaves an incredible legacy as a kind and selfless fighter for the American people, for human rights and for our environment. We will all work together to carry on his work and his memory.

My take is that H1B visas are important and should be expanded but so should work permits and pathways to citizenship for our immigrant farmers and other workers.

VP Harris lost to Trump by 1.5% in a close election while still earning a historic number of votes for a nominee. She turned around her favorability numbers in a short period of time. Yes, we lost and Republicans gained in swing states but we gained seats in the House. I’m proud of Kamala Harris.

I’m kinda here for the Elon/MAGA meltdown.

Being anti-immigrant is anti-American.

We can’t let Trump and House Republicans roll over us with their dishonest calls for bipartisanship. We must fight back every single time.

We stopped extreme MAGA Republicans from shutting down the government and crashing the economy. The American people have won this round. Far right billionaires have lost. The struggle continues in the new year.

The Senate just passed legislation with a voice vote to fund pediatric cancer research, a provision that House Republicans had stripped from the government funding extension. Now Biden will sign. FU 🖕🖕Trump and Musk!

Trump is NOT happy that the spending deal doesn't include the debt ceiling, according to person who spoke with him this p.m. Not clear he'll publicly try to stop the bill in the Senate but Trump's the bill doesn't contain his main ask

House Democrats stood united and defeated the Musk-GOP shutdown. We will not allow the pawns of the ultra-wealthy to dismantle the hopes of the American people. My full statement.

A statement graphic that reads: For the sixth time in two years, House Republicans brought the government to the brink of a shutdown that would have withheld pay from our troops, stranded travelers at airports, and taken food from hungry families. But once again, House Democrats stood strong, stood united, and defeated Republicans’ worst impulses.
“Let’s be clear about what happened this week. On orders from the world’s richest man, Republicans tore up their own bipartisan agreement then needlessly threw the country into days of uncertainty during the holiday season. This is a stark preview of the next two years of Republican-controlled government. No spine. No courage. Just deference to billionaires.
“We already know Elon’s next directive: Break your campaign promises, cut $2.5 trillion from Social Security and Medicare, then use it to lower his taxes. House Democrats will continue to stand with working families. We’re going to keep fighting back in the new Congress. We will not allow the pawns of the ultra-wealthy to dismantle the hopes of the American people.”
