They registered with the government after LEGALLY seeking asylum here, they passed background checks, and they paid fees. They contribute to our economy, and work essential jobs in critical industries that are already facing crushing labor shortages.

Folks with Temporary Protected Status are seeking refuge from extreme political violence & regional instability. (🧵)
Ruth López is a human rights defender wrongly imprisoned by a dictatorial Salvadoran government cracking down on civil society and rule of law. I join Senators @vanhollen.senate.gov and @kaine.senate.gov in asking Secretary Rubio to advocate for her release and assure she gets medical care.
My thoughts are with all those in Venezuela affected by the two devastating earthquakes yesterday. I welcome the US government’s promise of search and rescue teams and urge robust relief aid. Venezuelans have suffered so much and we owe them our humanitarian support.
In Trump’s America, if you look at this failed reflecting pool paint job the wrong way, you get a 10 year prison sentence. But if you’re convicted of violently beating cops during a failed coup, you get a presidential pardon.
If Americans can’t afford basic necessities like housing, healthcare, and food, we don’t have a country.
Trump’s own “voter fraud” sham investigation quietly disbanded after finding no widespread fraud. Our elections are among the world’s most secure.
AI data centers are using tons of electricity & water, driving up costs while workers get left behind & Big Tech reaps record profits.
Proud to join @aoc.bsky.social & @sanders.senate.gov in calling for an AI data center moratorium until Congress sets standards & guardrails to protect Americans.
Trump had the chance to lower housing costs for millions of Americans. Instead, he’s throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler because we won’t let him rig the midterm elections.
Totally unfit for office.
The bottom has fallen out for so many American farmers thanks to Republicans’ billionaires-first agenda.
But instead of admitting that prices have never been higher, they’re holding a pep rally for their Big Ugly Bill—the largest upward transfer of wealth in U.S. history.
It’s shameful.
“Destroyed the grass?!” You mean like this?
More money for his war and the inflation it’s causing. But still nothing for your healthcare & housing.
Trump could sign the most significant bipartisan bill in decades to lower housing costs.
Instead, he’s throwing a temper tantrum because he still can’t get over the fact that he lost the last election. Pathetic!!
Trump lied? I’m shocked! SHOCKED!
Trump said he wouldn't spend taxpayer $ on his tacky ballroom. I brought the receipts:
✅ $340.8M on June 12
✅ ANOTHER $10.75 Million on June 12
✅ $45M on June 15
I asked top GOP appropriators if they knew about this.
Watch their pathetic attempt to feign ignorance.
I led colleagues in writing to the Trump administration to demand the release of Beto Coral, who has been detained for political reasons. He has a legal right to reside here. The US is abetting transnational repression by complying with Colombian politician’s request to violate his human rights.
It’s almost like the guy who bankrupted a casino can’t run a country.
Maybe it’s breaking because he drove over it with a 10 ton limo?
On #Juneteenth, we celebrate the end of slavery in America. But Juneteenth is not just about an end—it’s about a beginning. It's about progress. And while progress has been made, we must work to heal the wounds of racism & build a more just, free and fair country for all.
Nixon was "legitimately worried” about the Watergate tapes getting out. How’d that work out for him?
How refreshing to hear a president talk like an adult.
