Senate Republicans have yet again blocked my efforts to pass bipartisan, House-passed legislation designating Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status. Their blatant disregard for the people of Venezuela is a betrayal of our commitment to protect the vulnerable. — 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
