The party of “family values” loves babies…until they are born and need to be fed.
I offered a simple amendment that wouldn’t cost a cent: Let’s make sure new moms who work for us in Congress are guaranteed breaks to pump.
Every single Republican voted no.

My family was imprisoned in Japanese American concentration camps during WWII, driven by racism, greed, and spineless politicians too scared to defend basic rights.
Decades later, the same cowardice built #AlligatorAlcatraz: fearmongering, caging families, and calling it “security.”

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong.
What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

These 350,000 will immediately be described as "illegal" by the administration — among other inevitable false descriptors.
Today's action is the single largest mass-illegalization event in US history.
350,000 people woke up this morning with legal status, living and working here with official permission. They'll go to bed as undocumented immigrants facing deportation.

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows DHS to reinstate Sec. Kristi Noem's order ending Temporary Protected Status for many Venezuelans, but notes the decision does not address challenges to actions "purport[ing] to invalidate" related legal status, work authorization documents, etc., previously granted under TPS.

I’m so proud of everyone who showed up today and the thousands of volunteers it took to make it all happen.
West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
