Pass our legislation to extend TPS. Protect our incredible Haitian community.
- CS
This morning, I stood with leaders of our great Haitian community to demand one thing: EXTEND TPS for our Haitian friends and neighbors. This administration chooses to villainize the Haitian people to pull attention away from their catastrophic failures. We can’t let them get away with it.

Once again, SCOTUS makes the pro-corruption decision. Regulatory decisions that have for decades been trustworthy are now amenable to political fix by a president’s henchmen, in this dark-money political world.

Republican senators who vote to confirm Blanche are deluding themselves if they believe he will do anything but accelerate the weaponization of the justice system.

Washington and seven other states are leading the nation with universal vote by mail and increasing voter turnouts. Unfounded attacks on safe and secure by-mail voting should stop, including the Postmaster imposing a rule to delay postmarking. (3/3)
- MC
Like Washington, most states have long counted ballots received after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked on time. This is especially important for our seniors and people living in rural areas to have their voices counted. (2/3)

The court has affirmed what we have known all along: states have the right to set rules for counting ballots when they are received. The Supreme Court affirmed both a key element of by-mail voting and the constitutional authority of states to administer their elections. (1/3)

I’m glad the Supreme Court affirmed that ballots mailed by election day will still be counted. Millions of Americans rely on mail-in ballots as a safe and secure way to make their voices heard. I’ll continue to work hard to keep our elections fair and free from interference.

Supreme Court decides Congress has no power to put restrictions on positions Congress creates (once again reversing precedent). Building an imperial presidency and stripping power from the people’s representatives is a hell of a way to celebrate the 250th. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

We want the military to be the best fighting force it can be, and it can't do that when its morale is being tested and people are being fired or passed up for promotions – especially women and people of color. I break down the impacts and what I'm hearing from service members.

President Trump’s politically motivated criminal investigation of Lisa Cook, without cause, is all about his abuse of power and intimidation tactics. Due to his failed economic policies, the President continues to attack the integrity and independence of the Federal Reserve.

American troops have been put in harm's way because of Trump’s war with Iran. What’s worse is that the Pentagon is downplaying the serious injuries that our servicemembers have suffered. Unacceptable is an understatement. www.cbsnews.com/news/wounded...

Yes, but that’s part of Trump’s calculation. Under the SAVE Act, states like Oregon that vote entirely by mail would be forced to redo our election systems just weeks before the midterms, in all likelihood resulting in many Oregonians being unable to cast ballots.

In a victory for voters — especially servicemembers, college students, and Americans abroad — the Court reaffirmed what millions of Americans across the country have come to expect: that ballots postmarked by Election Day and received soon after still count.

Today, the Supreme Court upheld the ability of states to set their own election laws.

This ruling is an affront to good governance and the point of "independent" federal agencies in the first place.
- RD
The Supreme Court just overturned well-established precedent to greenlight Donald Trump’s threats to independent federal agencies. Now, this President can fire whomever he perceives as his enemy at these agencies without so much as citing cause.

It’s time for Trump to abandon his efforts to make it harder for Americans to vote.

A ballot postmarked by Election Day is a lawful vote and it must be counted. Today’s Supreme Court decision is a win for democracy and the millions of Americans who vote by mail, including seniors, rural Americans, military members and their families, and working people across our country.

The Supreme Court just upheld this bedrock American principle: if you cast your ballot on time, your vote will count. Participation in democracy should never be limited – not by your race, where you live, or how you vote.

This is important. The Supreme Court has ruled that states CAN count mail ballots that are sent by Election Day but arrive late. Small but significant victory in our battle against this administration’s all out war against your right to vote.

It was an honor to march in the NYC Pride Parade! I was the first Senator to march in this parade, and it’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made on LGBTQ+ equality since then. With the Trump admin in the White House, we must protect that progress from those who wish to take us back in time.
