    In 2018, we marched, we organized, and we elected a Gun Sense Majority to the House. Now, we're on our way to passing life-saving federal legislation like background checks on every gun sale. Join us: Text JOIN to 644-33.

  4. This reckless notion must not move forward. We should all keep in mind that disparate-impact liability can uncover disguised discriminatory intent and/or unconscious prejudices. And unconscious bias can have the same effect as overt bias: It can undermine equal opportunity.

  8. The new majority won’t limit its response to mass shootings to thoughts and prayers. We'll listen to gun violence survivors, not gun company lobbyists. will release the grip of wealthy special interests on Congress & make Congress work for the people.

  11. I fully support the proposal to require universal background checks. I firmly urge all U.S. Representatives to fight for it. This is yet another key step to ensure that no more innocent people lose their lives to the tragic epidemic of gun violence.

    Yesterday, said of Donald Trump: "We're gonna impeach the motherfucker!" We're ready, Congresswoman. And if you’re more upset about her language than Trump’s actions, you’re the problem.

    On Election Day, 7 million LGBTQ voters & millions of allies turned out to make change. And together, we restored a pro-equality majority to the House. Tonight, we celebrate history. Tomorrow, we double down to keep moving .

    As someone who has seen what it means to seek asylum at a border and be received with such generosity, I want to make sure we understand there are other countries who take in so many of the world's most pained people. In the United States we can do better.

    23 years ago, from a refugee camp in Kenya, my father and I arrived at an airport in Washington DC. Today, we return to that same airport on the eve of my swearing in as the first Somali-American in Congress. 🙏🏾
