I’m so excited to share this conversation I had with @chrislhayes about care with all of you. This week’s Why Is This Happening Pod goes deep on why care is such a struggle, and why change is not only possible, it’s on its way.

This Task Force will focus on creating a caregiving support system that is affordable, accessible, and responsive to the needs of our community.
The 350,000+ Haitian nationals who call this country home contribute greatly to civic life, to our economy, & to industries like healthcare, construction, & hospitality.
That’s why I’m pushing to extend TPS for Haiti. Our communities are stronger because of our Haitian neighbors.

We’re counting down the days ‘til we’re reunited with the Take Me Home team.
Until then, we’re reminiscing on our time at #SundanceFilmFestival 2026. We brought disposable cameras to Park City and just got them developed!
Happy Care Workers Recognition Month! #CareCantWait and neither can we. I am so thankful to the care workers who look after our loved ones every day. They deserve the same dignity and decency that they provide. @domesticworkers
New Yorkers, join us in the first ever Mayor’s Municipal Madness: a competition of city fixes where everyone wins.
City workers fix thousands of tiny annoyances every year, from broken basketball rims to bike path bumps. This year, we’re highlighting 16 of those fixes.
From the exacerbating eight to the frustrating four, every item in each round will be repaired…but you’ll be voting on which fix will be done by me on day 100 of our admin.
Round one of voting starts right now: https://t.co/8iGV460exI

My new bill to ensure basic wage and overtime protections for home care workers is just the start.

✅raising the minimum wage
✅national paid leave
✅affordable child care
✅the PRO Act.
As a Sandwich Generation senator, I’m committed to making sure our caregivers and home care workers are given a life of dignity and decency.
That’s why I’m proud to join @PattyMurray in introducing the Fair Wages for Home Care Workers Act.

So here is some ***new information***:
Based on our estimates, they've maybe spent 8%-10%. That means approximately $150 billion remains to spend on CBP and ICE just from the reconciliation bill over the next three years.
It provided a $45 BILLION fund to increase ICE's jails (on on top of $3.8 billion in annual appros) -- which will fund these mega-warehouses you're seeing being opposed across the country. See this on a 10,000 warehouse jail planned for Georgia:
