  1. One year ago today, the Trump admin unilaterally rescinded the program – leaving hundreds of thousands of Dreamers uncertain about their futures.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.

  2. 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.

    If Brett Kavanaugh truly believes the president isn’t above the law, he should have said the president must comply with a subpoena. There’s no reason Brett Kavanaugh couldn’t have given a straight answer.

  4. Pleased to announce $1.4 million in federal funding for the City of Newburgh Fire Department - a big victory for Newburgh! I've seen firsthand during the Verla fire & countless other times the work these firefighters do. We need them back on the job ASAP

  5. 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.

  6. Judge Kavanaugh should affirm the real “Ginsburg Standard” today by standing up for women’s constitutional rights. But he won’t.

    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.

    .: On the Supreme Court, Judge Kavanaugh would impact "so many of the areas of American life from civil rights to women's rights, to access to health care." - and Republicans are forcing a hearing without the vast majority of his record.

    GRASSLEY: “Reviewing Judge Kavanaugh's Staff Secretary documents would teach us nothing about his legal views.” KAVANAUGH IN 2015: Time as Staff Secretary “among the most interesting and most formative for me.”

    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.

    It’s no wonder that picked Brett Kavanaugh to sit on a potential “jury” in the Mueller probe. Kavanaugh believes sitting presidents should not be investigated or held accountable like other citizens. Judge Kavanaugh thinks presidents are above the law.
