For 40 years, my dad worked as a short-order cook and my mom cleaned houses. It’s because of their hard work and sacrifices that I stand here today, ready to preserve and fight for the American Dream.

Last year Trump gutted election security, fired staff, and cut resources for local officials.
Now, with voting already underway, his Administration is late with a flimsy plan to fix the mess he created.
Election officials need funding, staff, and cybersecurity tools, not another press release. Congress already told DHS to restore funding for this. They need to just DO IT.

This is Big Brother stuff.
We should be making it EASIER for ELIGIBLE AMERICANS TO VOTE, not giving Trump a last-minute green light to mess with state voter rolls.
We’re going to keep fighting for your right to vote – and make sure DHS follows the law and won’t kick anyone off the rolls ahead of the midterms.
BREAKING: SCOTUS allows DHS to use its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database with Social Security info, staying a district court order that had vacated the new policy.
Justice Jackson dissents for the three Dem appointees.

RIGHT NOW: I’m calling on Gov. Abbott to clean up his mess after potentially hundreds of thousands of voter registration applications in Texas weren’t processed.
How does that even happen this close to an election? It’s unacceptable.
Texans did their part. The state screwed this up and now needs to FIX IT FAST to make sure no eligible voter loses their RIGHT to VOTE!

Trump’s cruel immigration policy shouldn’t be tolerated. Even members from his own party agree.

You can’t bring a gun to the airport. You can’t bring a gun to schools. Why is it still legal in some states' polling places to bring a gun?
Every American deserves to feel SAFE while voting. @RepDeluzio and are leading this fight.

Senator Alex Padilla retweeted
Sen. PADILLA: Can you explain how [Flock] agreements allow ICE to access data?
Privacy expert: All it takes is one officer who's a customer of Flock and participates in their data sharing program. [They] get a call from an ICE agent that says, "Hey, can you run a search for me?”

Senator Alex Padilla retweeted
Today, I’m reintroducing the BASIC Act with @SenAlexPadilla to help colleges connect students with food, housing, child care, transportation, and other basic resources they need to stay in school and earn their degrees.
College should be a path to opportunity, not a choice between getting an education and putting food on the table.
No student should have to drop out because they can’t afford to meet their basic needs.

As much as DHS tries to deny it, we’ve all seen the videos: ICE is PREYING on OUR SCHOOLS, separating kids from their parents. It’s disgusting and un-American.
I’m demanding it ends.

Too many people have been killed in our communities by out-of-control immigration enforcement agencies. Republicans’ response? Give ICE more of OUR MONEY.
They handed ICE and Border Patrol an additional $140 BILLION in 2025, then another $70 BILLION more in 2026.
We need accountability over what we’re funding. I’ll fight to stop another dime from funding actions that terrorize our communities.
