Driving home tonight, I thought about Republicans' floor speeches today on the "sanctity of life". And how this concern for "life" apparently doesn't extend to the kids who were shot today in a school in Michigan. So I turned the car around, and went to the Senate floor.

Fossil Fuel companies are sitting on 13.9 million acres of our federal land they aren't even using—and they want even more. If each acre were a grain of rice, that would be 479 pounds. I demonstrated at a hearing with Big Oil ⬇️

One of the problems with how politics is covered is  many have forgotten that the purpose of politics is policy, as in solving problems. It's not about scoring points in a game of inside baseball. To cover it as such undermines the health and safety of our nation and the planet.

Today’s decision by the Parliamentarian is disappointing, but it is not the end of the fight for citizenship. This is an iterative process and it’s good to hear that Democrats won’t rest until we have a pathway for millions of people who need a permanent solution.

I am deeply disappointed in the Parliamentarian’s decision tonight, but the fight for immigration reform will continue. Senate Democrats have prepared an alternative proposal for the Parliamentarian’s consideration in the coming days.

Justice Sotomayor, just now: "The Court’s order is stunning. Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights ... a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand."

Under the cover of darkness, by choosing to do nothing, the Supreme Court allowed an unconstitutional abortion ban in Texas to go into effect last night. Their decision doesn’t change the fact that reproductive rights are human rights. We'll fight for them. https://t.co/hp1N6G2S3M
