Leader Nancy Pelosi has held the House floor for 7 hours to advocate for a path to citizenship for Dreamers. Nancy knows how important it is to get this done because California is home to more Dreamers than any other state. Go Nancy! #GoNancyGo

Nancy Pelosi is a 77-year-old wealthy white woman who could be sipping rosé on a beach anywhere in the world right now, but instead she has been on her feet for nearly 7 hours fighting for DREAMers. She is the best of the Democratic Party no matter what some might say. #GoNancyGo

She then tells Democratic colleagues sitting nearby they're free to go see Former VP Joe Biden speak at Democratic Issues Conference.
Colleagues respond: "We want to see you."https://t.co/uNLfEP8AKE pic.twitter.com/QWzQ0OPRBx
WE WANT TO SEE YOU. #GoNancyGo https://t.co/FfTqJzGxK7

Watch just a minute of @NancyPelosi if you can. What she's doing is extraordinary and moving. She is reading the words and telling the stories of the human beings that Trump and the @GOP aggressively dehumanize. #GoNancyGo https://t.co/BCiUUW1kVN

A few moments ago, Rep. Pelosi said (I'm paraphrasing from memory): How lucky am I to get to know all these DREAMers through their words?
Blub.
Thank you, Rep. Pelosi. Thank you.
