    Assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and bump stocks have been responsible for some of the deadliest mass shootings in our country. Let’s be clear—they are made for no other purpose than to kill people quickly and efficiently. And we need to ban them for good.

    I am incredibly lucky to spend with my mom this year. When she joined me on the campaign trail this weekend, it reminded me of the selflessness & commitment mothers in all capacities have for those they care for. Today, we want to let you know you are appreciated.

    Earlier this week, I wrote an op-ed about family separation and detention for Univision because we need to end indefinite detention now. It doesn't protect asylum seekers. It's not humane. And, it's not constitutional.

    A principios de esta semana escribí un artículo de opinión para Univision sobre la separación de familias inmigrantes y la importancia de terminar con las detenciones indefinidas de solicitantes de asilo. No es humano y ni siquiera es constitucional.

    North Carolina, thank you for having me yesterday to talk gun violence prevention, and thank you for your thoughtful questions about how we move our culture away from violence. It's not enough to just shift policy. We need to change hearts and minds if we want to save lives

    . on plague of gun violence: “I'm taking a fight to this issue like folks have never seen before...We are not going to give thoughts & prayers, which to me is just bullshit. I'm sorry to say it as a man of faith, but I was taught that faith without works is dead.”

    Bills like this that aim to punish women & their doctors are gaining traction. This one is tabled right now because people refused to remain silent. We need to protect women's health care. We need to defend Roe v. Wade.

    Paid family leave is good for families, good for the economy, and should be guaranteed in New Hampshire and every state across our country. Deeply disappointed in this decision.

    The Democrats’ solution to paid leave — Senate Bill 1 (SB1) — is an income tax and make no mistake, the people of New Hampshire do not support that approach. Today, I unequivocally VETOED the Democrats’ income tax.

    Thank you for having me on today to discuss my plan to end the gun violence epidemic. We can't be a country that has shootings in our schools, our churches, our synagogues, and on our blocks and not do anything about it.
