One year ago I stood on the Senate floor for 25 hours and 5 minutes, lifting up the stories of Americans who have been hurt by this administration's chaos, corruption and cruelty. It was a call for every American, to stand up in any way they can for the values that have always made our country great, and delivered us through our most challenging moments. I’m in awe of the fight I’ve seen from Americans every day since. Our work is far from over, but in the year since this speech, our resolve to redeem our country has only strengthened. I am proud to stand with you.

NEW — Several members on the House GOP call suggested that the House not pass the senates DHS bill until reconciliation is in process/done/close to done. That would mean waiting potentially weeks or months for the DHS bill to pass. The leadership thinks this move is a possibility. Although it’s not yet clear how long reconciliation will take and whether the White House is ok with this strategy.
