Did you know inflation is up 17% since June 2019? That was the last time Texas increased per-student funding for public schools.

Funding that doesn’t keep up with inflation means reduced opportunities for students. #txlege #PubEd #FundTexasSchools

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

For nearly 10 months, Brittney Griner suffered unthinkable trauma as she was wrongfully imprisoned by Russia. Putin’s cruelty against Brittney – and his monstrous actions against Ukraine – are reminders of his brazen contempt for human rights, human dignity and the rule of law.

My heart is full.

The Respect for Marriage Act will soon be the law of the land: a glorious triumph for love and freedom.

There are two words that if you brought them into your life more often would help you feel more genuine, purposeful, and happier!

The best part - there’s a science that backs it up :) Join me for this week's video to learn more!

When hate infiltrates locker rooms & rinks, the onus is on adults – as coaches and leaders – to address it. Looking the other way isn't an option. Glad we could come to a resolution with Danvers, & we'll keep working to root out bigotry in school sports.

If you want more clean energy in your community, a simple effective way to start is to talk about the benefits with your neighbors. Who knows their values and priorities better than you? Great example of this: https://t.co/dqZQOJKN9X via @CC_Yale

Humans: If we're skilled at degrading the planet (and we are!) we've also shown we can clean up our messes. Experts weigh in on some times we've successfully corrected course. Let's do more of this, and faster! https://t.co/6AuADdDXK6 via @borenbears

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

BREAKING: We just passed a bipartisan bill in the Senate that will make the largest investment in our nation’s infrastructure in nearly a century.

Now, we will continue our work to deliver even bolder investments in child & elder care, immigration, and climate action.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

If it wasn't already clear how they felt, Senate Republicans once again blocked even beginning discussion on voting rights, gerrymandering, and campaign finance reform.

This is the fight of our lives—no matter what it takes, we must protect the fundamental right to vote.

Five years ago, we planted a tree outside the Capitol in memory of Rep. Edward R. Roybal—a veteran, tireless advocate for CA, & trailblazer for many Latino leaders who came after him.

Today, I had the chance to visit again—now as CA's first Latino Senator—and honor his legacy.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Had a chance to welcome the Texas Democrats who defended democracy against one of the most restrictive voting bills in the country last month. Glad to be in the fight with them to protect the right to vote nationwide.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Today, @POTUS will meet with DACA recipients in the Oval Office—including Californians Leydy Rangel, the daughter of migrant farmworkers, and Jirayut “New” Latthivongskorn, a resident physician who came here at age 9. They are Americans, and #HomeIsHere.

No one can live on a $7.25/hour minimum wage, nor should they have to. We need to eliminate the filibuster and raise the wage.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

For those living paycheck-to-paycheck or at risk in their living situations, access to affordable housing is critical. Thanks to the #AmericanRescuePlan, I'm proud to help deliver $250 million in Emergency Housing Vouchers to CA to address this crisis.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Immigrant workers have earned more than platitudes—they have earned citizenship. My bill with @SenWarren, @JoaquinCastrotx & @RepTedLieu will create a pathway for the over 5 million essential workers without permanent legal status who have been keeping us healthy, fed, & safe.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Preserving the filibuster is not worth letting millions of people in this country go hungry, sleep in their cars, or struggle to afford baby formula.

COVID-19 has had a devastating effect nondisabled people and older adults. After NO FUNDING in 2020, we are glad to see dedicated #Medicaid #HCBS in the current COVID package. Congress must be sure it stays in until the bill becomes law! #Medicaidcantwait
