    One year ago today, the Trump admin unilaterally rescinded the program – leaving hundreds of thousands of Dreamers uncertain about their futures. That's 365 days too many. It's time these immigrant youth get the permanent solution they so rightly deserve.

    Republicans are trying to jam through, with as little scrutiny as possible, a lifetime appointment to the nation’s highest court, with the power to affect the lives of Americans for a generation. We will not consent to business as usual today on the Senate floor.

    It's only fitting that questioning of Judge Kavanaugh & oral arguments in GOP's lawsuit to take away protections for ppl w/ pre-existing conditions both begin today. Why? Because GOP is using his nom as back door to take away these vital health care protections.

    Because of SCOTUS decision in Brown v. Board, 61 yrs ago the brave Little Rock Nine were empowered to desegregate their school. Today I invited one of them –Carlotta Walls LaNier– to witness Kavanuagh's hearing. She's a living testament to the importance of the Supreme Court.

    Republicans know this has been the least transparent SCOTUS process in history and the hearings should be delayed until we can fully review Judge Kavanaugh’s records.

    🚨🚨 The Senate was just given an additional 42,000 pages of Kavanaugh documents the NIGHT BEFORE his confirmation hearing. This underscores just how absurd this process is. Not a single senator will be able to review these records before tomorrow.

    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......
