    Democrats care about border security. What we don’t care about are the president’s ego-trips and temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way on an expensive, ineffective that perpetuates hate and fear.

    NOW: On the brink of a shutdown, the House is considering a bill that wastes $5 billion on Trump’s border wall, inadequately funds disaster relief & is dead on arrival in the Senate. Congress should reject this bill and pass a clean CR to keep the government open.

    The situation in is like three-dimensional chess & removing any one of the critical pieces, including our involvement, could be very, very dangerous. The President's short-sighted decision lacks strategy & any political framework for sustainable conflict resolution.

    Wrote to expressing our deep concern over the detention & deportation of Southeast Asian . We urge DHS to immediately reexamine their policies on the arbitrary deportation of these individuals, who prove no threat to public safety & support our communities.

    I was a criminal defense attorney ten years. I watched the futile efforts of trying to lockup drug offenders for the rest of their lives. It's an extraordinary cost when rehabilitation & deterrence make more sense. Catch my thoughts on the bill ⤵️

    We must remind ourselves that our moral standing in the world matters. It is one of the things that makes our country special, and we attack it by building walls, pulling out of treaties, and isolating ourselves from our allies. Catch my thoughts here:

    Today, we remember the precious children & passionate teachers mercilessly gunned down at 6 yrs ago—We'll never forget them or their loved ones. To truly honor the lives of those lost, we must pass sensible policy to prevent future tragedies & unfathomable heartbreak.

    Today we mourn 26 lives ripped away too early. Six years ago, Sandy Hook Elementary School was devastated, and the community forever changed. It is a pain we know all too well. Newtown, then and always, we stand with you.
