That’s my boss! So proud of @RepDMP and all the @HouseDemocrats for getting this bill passed for our Venezuelan bothers and sisters! #VenezuelaTPS #VenezuelaLibre
25 Jul 2019
🚨Key Vote Alert 🚨
We passed #VenezuelaTPS! I hope the Senate will hear the Venezuelan’s loud calls for help and swiftly pass this bill so the Venezuelan immigrants who desperately fled to the US can remain here until it’s safe for them to return home. #VenezuelaLibre

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

In my latest for @amprog, I show that the Trump administration has failed to accomplish its objectives in its war of choice on Iran while imposing steep costs on Americans, the Middle East, and the global economy. Iran has become Trump’s “Iraq War.” americanprogress.org/article…

Time to boycott CBS and Paramount .
Remember, regulators can still try to stop Paramount's attempted merger with Warner Bros./CNN. The merger would harm consumers while endangering national security & press freedoms.

Every time House Republicans vote against War Powers Resolutions, this is what they are voting for.
Exxon is now warning that oil prices could go as high as $160 per barrel in the coming weeks as reserves are depleted.

In 2025, nearly half of young children in the United States lived in a child care desert, where demand for care outpaced supply by 3-to-1. Learn more about this child care crisis from leading experts, members of Congress, and current parents at our virtual event on June 4th. ampr.gs/4dC4yZz

Despite what the Trump administration says, Americans know the truth: We can't keep up with rising costs in Trump's economy.

Instead of addressing Americans’ affordability concerns, congressional Republicans funnel tens of billions more toward the Trump administration’s reckless mass deportation agenda while failing to put a stop to dangerous tactics that have cost lives. ampr.gs/3PrtcCV

For too many families in America, child care is either unaffordable or inaccessible.
The cost of child care drives 134,000 families into poverty every year. They deserve solutions, not federal cuts making the crisis worse.
ALT A graphic showing a map of the United States covered in dense clusters of dots representing child care deserts. Overlaid text reads: “Insufficient public investment in child care has led to high costs, low wages, and a lack of access to much-needed care. These high costs drive 134,000 families into poverty every year, and nearly half of the nation’s young children live in areas with inadequate licensed supply. Communities across the U.S. are struggling, while federal cuts make the crisis worse. Families need solutions now.” Center for American Progress logo appears in the bottom right corner.
