Unvaccinated people still make up the vast majority of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

There is no crisis at the border. People have right per US& international law to seek asylum. Immigrants& refugees are human beings. Freedom of movement is a human right per Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Anyone, including the president, who says otherwise are fearmongers

Thank you @DickDurbin!

I’m calling on Senator McConnell to put the bipartisan bills to fund the government on the Senate floor for a vote. He does not need an invitation from President Trump to do his job.

In slashing refugee resettlement, the president is taking a recklessly narrow view of how best to put America first https://t.co/cbzTZnuEVJ
