11/10/2020 Tweet - "Today SCOTUS heard arguments from Republican officials and the Trump administration seeking to overturn the Affordable Care Act. This reprehensible case threatens to undo pre-existing condition protections for 130+ million & strip 23 million Americans of their health coverage."
10/19/2020 Tweet - "A federal judge struck down the Trump administration's attempt to eliminate food assistance for nearly 700,000 people. I am proud to have filed two amicus briefs with @HouseDemocrats to fight this vile attempt to put so many Americans at risk of hunger."
09/26/2020 Tweet - "Confirming a Supreme Court justice so close to a presidential election would be an egregious violation of the standard set by Senate Republicans just four years ago."
09/25/2020 Tweet - "Today Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the first woman and first Jewish person to lie in state in the US Capitol. While we mourn her loss, her impact will never leave us. May her memory be a blessing."
09/18/2020 Tweet - "There are people who have an outsized impact on this world. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was such a person. Her unwavering commitment to justice for all is her living legacy. Rest In Peace."
07/09/2020 Tweet - "The Supreme Court decisions remanding the cases regarding the President's tax returns to the lower courts are a huge victory for the democratic process and the rule of law."
06/29/2020 Tweet - "I am pleased that the Supreme Court upheld women's rights today by blocking Louisiana's abortion law. That law would have imposed an unjustifiable burden on access to abortion, denying women the ability to make their own reproductive health decisions."
06/15/2020 Tweet - "No one should be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love. I'm pleased SCOTUS upheld workplace protections today for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This is an important step on the long road to a more perfect union with liberty and justice for all."
03/13/2020 Majority Whip Clyburn, Sen. Bennet, Reps. Price, Clarke, and Khanna Introduce Legislation to Provide Legal Assistance to Tenants Facing Eviction
01/28/2020 Tweet - "SCOTUS's decision allowing the Trump Administration to carry out its "wealthy only" immigration policy is an affront to our nation's highest ideals. The very essence of the American Dream is that it is open to all, not a select few."
01/13/2020 Tweet - "Almost 2 Million South Carolinians with pre-existing conditions are at risk of losing their health care coverage if Republicans win their anti-health lawsuit. No American should face discrimination because they have a pre-existing condition. #ProtectOurCare"
12/06/2019 Tweet - "In 2013, the Shelby v. Holder decision gutted the VRA, unleashing a wave of local voter suppression laws designed to silence American voters--especially voters of color. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy and must be protected at all costs. #RestoreTheVote"
11/12/2019 Tweet - "Today the Supreme Court is considering the #DACA program's future. For 700,000 young people in this country, the outcome will have life-altering consequences. America is their home, and this is where they should stay. #HomeIsHere"
05/03/2019 Tweet - "On this day in 1954, @SCOTUS passed down the Hernandez v. Texas decision which helped end racial discrimination in the selection of jurors."
03/26/2019 Tweet - "Hyper-partisan #gerrymandering has gotten out of hand. The packing and stacking of minority voters are producing districts that don't reflect the diversity of their jurisdictions. This needs to be fully and judiciously addressed. Today @Scotus has the chance to do that."
01/22/2019 Tweet - "Today is the 46th anniversary of #RoevWade, where @SCOTUS made the landmark decision recognizing that women have the right to make their own health decisions. We must keep fighting to protect women's rights so that they can continue to have access to reproductive health care."
09/06/2018 Tweet - "The Trump Admin has declined to defend the Affordable Care Act in court, and the case will likely end up in the Supreme Court. Make no mistake: health care for millions of Americans could depend on Kavanaugh's confirmation. #WhatsAtStake #StopKavanaugh"
06/25/2018 Tweet - "In the 5 yrs since #SCOTUS gutted the VRA, states have made it harder for millions of Americans to vote. Russia attacked our election. Secret money is flooding the system & the culture of corruption is alive & well in the Trump Administration #RestoreTheVote #RestoreTheVRA (1/2)"
