Today in Boston, I stood with community leaders to condemn the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn TPS protection.
This fight isn’t over. I will do everything in my power to pass my TPS legislation in the Senate and protect our families, neighbors, and classmates who call America home.

Tesla wants Americans to believe its so-called Full Self-Driving technology is safer than human drivers. Then it should prove it.
@SenBlumenthal and I are calling on NHTSA to demand the data, test Tesla’s claims, and strengthen AV safety data reporting.
