I was honored to meet with several members of congress today to talk about the work ahead.
Our conversations all centered on how to stand up for democracy, and how to work with the communities we represent to ensure that they are empowered to stand up as well.

Gender affirming care saves lives. Period.
While it’s unsurprising the hateful MO GOP moved this through, we will remain steadfast in our support of trans youth in Missouri.

Four nights.
Five days.
That’s how long we stayed on the steps of the Capitol demanding an extension to the eviction moratorium.
Meanwhile, Justice Thomas was looking out for his “friend’s” business.
It’s time to impeach him.

Gender-affirming care saves lives. Our trans siblings here in Missouri deserve the peace of mind that they’ll be able to be themselves freely without our state Attorney General getting in the way.
No one should be denied healthcare, period.

Even in their deaths, Governor Abbott can’t help but dehumanize those killed in this tragic shooting. Human beings aren’t “illegal.” Period.
Implying so is vile and bigoted.

I’ve announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday. Also directed #OperationLoneStar to be on the lookout.
I continue working with state & local officials to ensure all available resources are deployed to respond.

At least one of the dead was a legal resident of the US

Today, we woke up to news of yet another mass shooting.
As we pray for those killed and their families, I also urge my GOP colleagues to join us in action to stop this violence.

Tuesday I thanked nurses, doctors & pharmacists at @MedStarGUH who serve with splendid kindness—and saved my life over 5 months. I finished 6 rounds of 5-day chemo sessions—which they organized so I didn’t have to miss votes or hearings—and I rang the bell! A new chapter begins.

Montana House Representative is being silenced by her political opponents because they don’t agree with her standing up for her community.
This is undemocratic and discriminatory.

#EmmettTill’s mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, ensured that the world saw how gruesomely her 14 year-old child was murdered by violent white supremacists.
Racism isn’t disagreement.
Families grieve.
Communities mourn.
Dreams wither.
Humanity suffers.
People perish.
Remember Emmett.

People who think Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him & the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* died—w/o accountability
Its not ancient history—its contemporary reality
