I’m on my way to the Senate floor to urge my colleagues to pass the #DreamAct & honor our promise to the 800K young men & women who have come out of the shadows to live full lives in the only country they’ve known.

It’s not easy to speak up in these uncertain times—we owe our thanks to the countless DACA recipients who have bravely shared their stories, in WA & across our great nation, to highlight the critical importance of this fight to our communities.

I urge my Republican colleagues to think about these stories & the Dreamers in their states—show them that President Trump’s reckless, divisive agenda doesn’t represent us.

While you’re there: Please demand the same standards for everyone accused of sexual harassment. You can’t demand punishment to one without demanding EQUAL punishment to the others. Since Franken resigned, so should Farenthold, Thomas, Moore & the PRESIDENT. PERIOD.

If I don’t see equal outrage to all sexual harassers, then I will assume this was a political move to: 1. ...appear to hold the moral high ground for 2018 & 2020. 2. ...focus on Gillibrand...for 2020. 3. ...to get Franken out of the way as a possible candidate...in 2020.

While you're there tell every Dem who clamored for
@alfranken to resign that I & 99% of my female friends are done with them. No more money, no more volunteering. They cost us one of our best, over lies. For voters they'll never get anyway#snowflakefeminists#IStandWithAlFranken - 1 more reply
