Republicans in Congress have bankrolled Trump\u2019s out-of-control immigration agencies with more money than most countries’ military budgets. American taxpayer dollars should never have been allowed to fund agencies without guardrails or proper oversight.<\/p>\n

My dear friends, Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!<\/p>\n

Our Hispanic neighbors and their rich cultures are the glue that holds our communities together. They have only ever made this country stronger, more beautiful, and closer to the America of our dreams, and I am so proud to\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/6EMQHgeeA5<\/a><\/p>\n

The rise of fast fashion has contributed to unsafe working conditions, unfair wages, and a decline in high-quality goods produced in the United States. As we close out #NYFW<\/a>, I\u2019m proud to lead the FABRIC Act with @SenGillibrand<\/a> to strengthen protections for garment workers and\u2026<\/p>\n

Sixteen years ago, I led my colleagues in passing the James Zadroga 9\/11 Health Act to take care of the victims of 9\/11 health-related illnesses. The Zadroga Act created the World Trade Center Health Program, which has helped thousands of victims access the medical attention they need. (1\/2)<\/p>\n

Thank you @RepBeatty<\/a> for your incredible leadership in forcefully pushing back against the President\u2019s reckless vanity project at the Kennedy Center. <\/p>\n

If Donald Trump spent half as much time trying to lower the cost of living as he does plotting to demolish national treasures,\u2026<\/p>\n

Honored to receive CHCI\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award last night alongside so many friends, colleagues and members of my CHC family.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve come a long way in building Latino political power, and I know the next generation is ready to carry that work forward.<\/p>\n

I am glad that the redesign of Park Avenue has been shaped by New Yorkers, for New Yorkers. This stretch of Midtown will be transformed into a safer, more beautiful space for our community to bike, walk, drive, and enjoy the City. www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\u2026<\/p>\n

@AGToddBlanche<\/a> is just another Trump crony committing despicable acts against Americans. Donald Trump and his radical allies have weaponized the DOJ to advance their hateful anti-LGBTQ+ agenda.

The Republican economy is a disaster and your reckless war of choice in Iran is a failure. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s not fake news.<\/p>\n

MSNOW, CNN, and Politico have a constitutional right to put their reporters in the White House briefing room, and no presidential temper tantrum can change that.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump doesn\u2019t have the ability to bar them from the People\u2019s House, in the same way that he doesn\u2019t have the\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/bAuyVbcvZS<\/a><\/p>\n

Donald Trump and Republicans promised a Golden Age.<\/p>\n

Gas prices are up. Grocery prices are up. Housing costs are up. Health insurance premiums are up.<\/p>\n

They have delivered nothing but a Rotten Age.<\/p>\n

Nine years ago today, Hurricane Mar\u00eda made landfall near my hometown of Yabucoa. Thousands of lives were lost, and Puerto Rico was forever changed.<\/p>\n

DHS must fully cooperate with local authorities, preserve all evidence and immediately release any available body camera footage.<\/p>\n

The American people deserve complete transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

Gas prices hit $4.48 and continue to skyrocket out of control. <\/p>\n

Why do Republicans support the reckless war of choice in the Middle East? <\/p>\n

These extremists don\u2019t give a damn about making your life more affordable. <\/p>\n

Enough.<\/p>\n
