My statement on President Trump’s executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship:
Statement graphic that reads: The constitutional basis for birthright citizenship is crystal clear. Donald Trump has no legal basis for unilaterally rewriting our Constitution to revoke this right and deny Americans’ citizenship. He should expect swift legal challenges to this order.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social on President Trump’s executive order to attack the federal workforce, including by weakening protections for federal workers that will make it easier to carry out politically-motivated mass firings and imposing a government hiring freeze:
Statement graphic reading: It’s in the best interest of our national security and the quality of the services Americans rely on—including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food inspections, and natural disaster relief programs—that our federal workforce is hired based on experience and expertise, and receives the support needed to effectively deliver. Donald Trump’s executive order is designed to starve and undermine the federal workforce and shows he is prioritizing his obsession with yes-men over the well-being of the American people and workers. We appreciate the steps the Biden Administration took to complicate Trump’s ability to put this order into motion and will continue to push for our legislation to halt it altogether.
