It's been more than a year since the House came together to pass the #VenezuelaTPS Act.

It's been more than a year of the Senate GOP blocking that bill to protect Venezuelans from deportation.

Headed to @DSenFloor to try to pass it TODAY.

WATCH 👉 c-span.org/congress/?cham… Image
Venezuela continues to experience the worst political, economic & humanitarian crisis in our hemisphere.

Its people continue to suffer extreme food and medicine shortages, levels of criminal violence akin to a conflict zone & grave human rights abuses under the Maduro regime.
Maduro’s dictatorship has inflicted a humanitarian catastrophe on the Venezuelan people. President Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but refuses to provide temporary protection to 200,000+ Venezuelans in the U.S. at risk of deportation.

We need #VenezuelaTPS now!
La dictadura de Maduro ha causado una catástrofe humanitaria al pueblo venezolano. El Presidente Trump habla fuerte, pero se niega a brindar protección humanitaria a más de 200,000 venezolanos en los Estados Unidos que enfrentan el riesgo de deportación.

Necesitamos #TPS ya!
UPDATE: Senate Republicans AGAIN block #VenezuelaTPS.

Once again, Maduro gets a false sense of vindication as his victims are rejected & their suffering is deemed not credible by Congress. Providing #TPS for Venezuelans is not political—it is the right and moral thing to do.

1/ I continue to monitor the ongoing situation in the Israel-Hamas war. As I’ve previously stated, Israel’s allies must step up at this moment, and Congress must provide Israel all the resources needed to fully defend itself. menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
2/ Please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office with inquiries concerning the current ongoing situation in Israel or call:

📞 1-833-890-9595 or 1-606-641-0131

My office has also compiled the following resources for U.S. Citizens in Israel and Gaza.
3/ For U.S. citizens stuck in Israel and Gaza, the @StateDept recommends filling out this crisis intake form along with calling the U.S. Embassy.

🧵 THREAD: Seeing a lot of Republicans saying we need more armed guards in schools. Let's take a second to look at what that proposal would look like⬇️
Between public & private, elementary and high schools, that's about 130,000 schools in the U.S. that would need to be defended.

Let's say conservatively we need at least 2 guards for each school in case one calls in sick.
That's a force of 260,000 armed officers — more than the number of U.S. troops currently serving overseas.

This is Republicans' solution. They'd rather deploy a full-blown army — against ourselves — than pass even simple, common sense gun reforms.

THREAD: After a day of shining a light on some of my colleagues who refuse to back up their “thoughts and prayers” with action, I’d be remiss if I didn’t also share some of the steps I’m taking and bills I’ve introduced to confront this crisis ⬇️
I'm glad @SenSchumer has said the Senate WILL VOTE on gun legislation and show the American people where we stand. I will keep working to have as many of these provisions as possible brought for a vote on the floor:
Banning assault weapons

#TBT to this day one year ago, when Nadine and I watched as @POTUS and @VP inherited an America with a weakened democracy following the January 6th insurrection, a tarnished reputation in the global arena, and a nation still reeling from an unprecedented pandemic.
In the days that followed, we worked together to set a bold and hopeful vision for the future, one where together we could defeat COVID-19 and build back better a more inclusive and prosperous nation.
 
And while we've made a lot of progress, there's much left to do.
From the #AmericanRescuePlan to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, we've delivered what — under normal circumstances — would be considered the crowning achievements of any Congress or @POTUS.

But these are no normal circumstances...

Standing—as I always have— alongside the #ArmenianAmerican community in New Jersey and across our country who have experienced terrible losses in recent weeks due to the devastation inflicted on the region by Azerbaijani President Aliyev, with the full support of Turkey.
We should be concerned about national security issues that would affect the United States in the Caucasus.

I have 4 steps the U.S. must take to begin a new chapter of U.S. policy in the region and right past wrongs.
1️⃣ The U.S. must lead a response to the humanitarian needs created by this violence, including robust assistance to make a difference for those on the ground.

Individuals should never be imprisoned for peaceful activism. I urge Central Asian leaders to release prisoners held for these legitimate acts, including cases across #Kazakhstan, #Kyrgyzstan, #Tajikistan, #Turkmenistan & #Uzbekistan. The #COVID19 prison risk raises the stakes.
Aset Abishev was arrested in Kazakhstan for posts in support of Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan movement. @freedomhouse cited his case as an example of Kazakhstan persecuting opposition parties. He has been punished for expressing concerns about prison conditions & #COVID19.
Maks Bokayev was arrested in Kazakhstan for his work fighting for the environment, expression & against torture. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention said his detention was based on his exercise of “freedom of expression & freedom of assembly.” He’s at high #COVID19 risk.
