I urge the president to reconsider and work with our partners to improve the deal we have today. Withdrawing may force the president to sanction our closest allies, and may give Iran pretext to violate the terms of the strongest nuclear agreement ever negotiated.

Every concern President Trump cited about Iran (support for terrorism, human rights violations, destabilizing activities etc.) has just become much more difficult to address now that we no longer have an agreement that prevents Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Despite the U.S. Intel Community and IAEA stating Iran is in compliance, the president decided to withdraw for concerns outside of Iran’s nuclear program. Addressing Iran’s support for terror and ballistic missile program will only be harder by alienating our partners and allies.

A nuclear-armed Iran poses a grave threat to U.S. national security. The Iran agreement forever prohibits Iran from developing nuclear weapons & by every account it is working. Withdrawing from the nuclear agreement may spark a nuclear crisis in the world’s most volatile region.

Everything President Obama has done, this president wants to undo. An agreement that prevents Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is one thing that should never be undone just to satisfy a campaign promise.

It’s downright cruel to intentionally separate children from their parents as a way to punish immigrants, especially those seeking asylum. This policy betrays our values. We can’t lead the world on issues of human rights if we’re taking babies away from their mothers.

#TeacherAppreciationWeek reminds us that funding Title II programs is so important. These programs allow educators to continue their professional development throughout their careers. We must invest in our teachers so our children can get a world-class education.

Teachers have a lifelong effect on children. I have fond memories of Mother Mardel, my first teacher at Covenant of the Sacred Heart. She played a major role in my development and instilled a love of learning. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to educators in California and across the country who dedicate their lives to teaching our children. We thank you for all you do for our next generation.

I strongly oppose Chairman Grassley moving forward with a judicial nominee who does not have sign off from @RonWyden or @SenJeffMerkley. This has never happened in the modern history of the Senate. Republicans are going to unprecedented lengths to stack our courts. #CourtsMatter
