Happening NOW: U.S. House of Representatives debating passage of the #NOBANAct - a bill to prevent any future presidents from enacting discriminatory bans like the Trump Muslim Ban again. Thanks to @RepJudyChu for introducing this bill and to @RepJerryNadler for his leadership... An number of House allies have been critical champions of #NoBanAct, including @RepRashida @RepJayapal @RepAndreCarson @Ilhan Rep @DonBeyerVA, getting us to this important day. We thank them and all the cosponsors for their leadership. We urge the House to vote YES!
