This is a good sign and could provide a path back towards a negotiated agreement—the only proven way to address Iran's nuclear program.
We must push for both Israel and Iran to de-escalate and for Iran to reenter negotiations that were disrupted by Israel's military strikes.

“We need a permanent legislative solution that includes protecting Dreamers….I believe they’re as American as all of us.”
June 15 is the 13th #DACA Anniversary. Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for your leadership in standing with DACA recipients and Dreamers!
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there! Fatherhood has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
If President Trump intends to get the U.S. more involved in the war between Israel and Iran by attacking Iran, he must come to the Congress, make his case, and secure an authorization before he pulls our country into yet another war in the Middle East.

I am also praying for Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, who were each shot multiple times. I pray for their healing and a full recovery.
This violence should be condemned by every American.
I am praying for the family and loved ones of Rep. Melissa Hortman after she and her husband were killed. A heartbreaking loss.
San Antonio always stands together when tragedy strikes and we will continue to do so as our community grieves this loss.
This is a tragedy. My prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims of this week’s flash floods. I also want to thank the first responders for their commitment to the ongoing recovery efforts.
Officials are beginning to identify the victims of flooding in San Antonio.
At least 10 people are dead and at least six are missing after record rainfall across the city. https://bit.ly/3FF7tCG

My colleagues and I went to Speaker Johnson’s and Leader Thune’s offices just now to demand an investigation into the assault of @padilla.senate.gov. Let’s be clear: Republican leadership is complicit in enabling the growing authoritarianism in this country.
The administration - and Steve Witkoff - were about to start the next round of negotiations to reach a deal with Iran.
This attack by Netanyahu is pure sabotage.
What does “America First” even mean if Trump allows Netanyahu to drag the country into a war Americans don’t want?

The administration is trying to stomp out anyone who disagrees with them, including public officials doing their jobs like @padilla.senate.gov. These shocking actions are a danger to the rights of all Americans.
This is another alarming sign that Donald Trump is taking this country towards authoritarianism.
(5/5) By needlessly deploying the National Guard, Governor Abbott is escalating tensions rather than promoting safety and calm. Abbott’s reckless actions will make protesters and officers alike less safe.
(4/5) We are grateful that Mayor Nirenberg and Chief McManus are directing local law enforcement to protect the First Amendment rights and safety of everyone.
(3/5) Our community will not be intimidated, and we encourage everyone to gather peacefully against President Trump's unlawful, undemocratic actions: ignoring court orders, weaponizing federal agencies against his perceived enemies, and tearing apart immigrant families.
(2/5) By deploying the National Guard, Governor Abbott is trying to intimidate our community for rallying against President Trump's authoritarian policies. And if he were serious about working with our local authorities, he would have alerted them before making this inflammatory decision.
(1/5) San Antonio takes great pride in its history of peaceful demonstrations in support of civil rights, social justice, and economic equality.
🧵My statement with @repcasar.bsky.social on Governor Greg Abbott deploying the National Guard to San Antonio:
General Richard E. Cavazos was a military hero — the first Hispanic four-star general who represents the best of Texas. President Trump should do the right thing and continue to honor General Cavazos’ extraordinary service to our country and keep the base named after him.
