Listen to the amazing origin story of legislation I introduced 19 years ago to give Dreamers the chance to become citizens. It happened because @Tereza_Lee had the courage to tell her story. She inspired a movement & we won’t stop fighting until the #DreamAct is the law of land. — PolitiTweet.org

The President is asking SCOTUS to repeal pre-existing condition protections & health coverage for millions in the MIDDLE of a pandemic. And there is still no secret Trump plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. Just more hollow campaign promises. https://t.co/RcUiNzEOrp — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is trying to rescind TPS from hundreds of thousands of immigrants with deep roots in our country – including 130,000 essential workers – so he can deport them. The Senate must immediately pass Dream & Promise Act to give these TPS holders a path to citizenship. https://t.co/Wx1yoVrsTl — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been 90 days since the Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s effort to repeal DACA. And yet his Administration is still refusing to accept new DACA applications—openly ignoring an order of the highest court in the land. https://t.co/ONtMXSvDm2 — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, President Trump claimed that a #COVID19 vaccine approval is just a few weeks away. He also claims to have a replacement plan for the ACA ready. Today I asked senior Trump Admin. officials from CDC & HHS if they could back up these claims. They could not. https://t.co/vYdwyA7HPu — PolitiTweet.org
