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.

So many young people in WA have reached out over the last few months to share their stories about how ending DACA would impact their lives & futures. Here are a few:
-
-
One young woman in Tacoma, Adriana, studied hard to become a nursing assistant, and is worried that letting DACA collapse would end her work authorization—a setback for Adriana & her community.

A business owner who applied for DACA shared that he was proud to finish his college degree & contribute his education, skills and taxes back to the WA economy. Now, his fate is uncertain.

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.

Patty you wanted Franken to resign. Call on POTUS to resign. WE cannot be hypocrites. I know you work hard so let's make this count. We lost a good senator over bad/accepted behavior so now we must confront the extreme right everyday.

Why didn't you let Sen Franken have an ethics investigation? When you have the likes of Roger Stone, Hannity, et al grimy hands involved in this why didn't you consider that this might be a setup? I want Ds to fight not to be weak!
