Anti-Semitism is a real issue - not just a ploy to slash federal funding. Jewish students have a right to education without the fear of physical violence or hateful rhetoric. See my full statement with @repjerrynadler00.bsky.social here:

This is not just about me - it’s about anyone who doesn’t look like them. They are comfortable profiling and lying about people, but can’t handle when we call out the truth. It’s a double standard.

Republicans didn’t have an actual substantive response to my speech which, in large part, called them out for their efforts to gut Medicare and Medicaid, so they decided to lie and call me an illegal immigrant.

This xenophobic rhetoric from Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the law, get your papers, become a citizen, get elected to Congress -- swear multiple oaths to protect and defend the Constitution -- and all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an "illegal immigrant."

For the last 45 days we have seen a president who acts more like a king, like a monarch, than like a president. --- Por los últimos 45 días hemos visto a un presidente que actúa más como un rey, como si fuera un monarca, que como un presidente.

President Trump is treating the path to citizenship like “an episode of the Price is Right” with his new Gold Card plan. Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social tells us what he wished the President focused on instead.

Trump's immigration policies are not designed – as he and his allies claim – to deport criminals who should be deported, but to create a reign of terror in our communities. #SOTU #DemocraticResponse

Trump’s words do not match his actions. He claims to care for the working class, yet has actively plotted against them, threatening to tear away critical programs such as Medicare and Social Security. #SOTU #DemocraticResponse

Octavio is just one of many Americans, victims of Trump and Musk’s indiscriminate purge of the federal workforce. Getting to know Octavio, I see a dedicated, passionate, and intelligent public servant - the United States federal government is weakened when we lose those like Mr. Blanco.

I am proud to bring Octavio Blanco as my guest for Donald Trump’s Joint Address. A victim of Musk’s DOGE, Octavio was a dedicated employee at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), fired from public service for no reason. This is no way public service should conclude.
