I first introduced the Dream Act nearly 20 years ago. And while today’s Supreme Court decision is a victory for #Dreamers, it is not the path to citizenship that they deserve. The Senate must pass the Dream and Promise Act to solve this problem once and for all. https://t.co/3zv0nKFt3C — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, the Supreme Court brought a smile & sigh of relief to more than 700,000 young people in the US. But our fight is not over. The Senate must take up the House-passed Dream & Promise Act to give all Dreamers a path to citizenship. #HomeIsHere. https://t.co/Vqell0a98g — PolitiTweet.org

5 years ago, a white supremacist walked into Emanuel AME Church in Charleston & murdered 9 innocent Black people in their house of worship. My heart still breaks for the victims & their families. We must do more to honor their memory by addressing systemic racism & gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

When America cries out for meaningful, historic police reform, Pres. Trump’s EO is modest at best. Democrats have introduced bold, comprehensive legislation to hold police accountable for misconduct & change the culture of law enforcement. We need real change, and we need it now. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of giving sweetheart immunity deals to corporations, Republicans should work with Democrats to strengthen workplace safety. The last thing we need is for more Americans to get sick because corporations are not doing their part to take reasonable precautions. — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Senators love to criticize the House bill, but what have Senate Rs proposed in response? Nothing. Instead, they vow to continue blocking emergency COVID relief funding to states and local communities unless corporations get sweeping federal liability immunity. — PolitiTweet.org

We know we need another COVID relief bill to help struggling families & keep local govts from having to lay off firefighters, teachers, & EMTs. The House passed the #HEROESAct to provide this much-needed emergency assistance. It's been sitting on Sen. McConnell's desk ever since. https://t.co/w4ai5dSGnE — PolitiTweet.org

The anger & pain we have seen in recent weeks is a reflection of generations of trauma. People are exhausted by pervasive, systemic racism that has led to devastating injustices across the US.
