A decade after my son, Jordan, was murdered by a man with a gun, there have been 53 separate mass shootings—in this year alone.
Guns are now the leading cause of death of children in America.
We can't go on this way. We must act to end gun violence. #GVSurvivorsWeek

Let’s be clear: Rep. Omar immediately apologized when told by the Jewish community that her words were hurtful and put in the work to become a better ally.
Her four years on have been dedicated to peace and human rights — she should remain.

Kevin McCarthy's Republican-led House is not serious about governing — only airing grievances to settle scores.

After law school, I worked in the IL State Senate. My first assignment? The Equal Rights Amendment. That was almost 50 yrs ago.
They say to be a legislator, you must be patient. But this is ridiculous. It’s past time: let’s get rid of the arbitrary deadline & ratify the ERA now.

83 years ago today, the first #SocialSecurity check went out.
Instead of protecting it, House Republicans are debating whether or not it should be on the chopping block.
Not on our watch — will always fight to protect the benefits that Americans have earned.

Each mass shooting is a glaring violation of our inalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Regardless of our politics, every member of congress must find the courage to act.

We recall the horrors and inhumanity of the Holocaust so that we never forget — and we renew our promise to stand against antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

By refusing to seat Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar on their committees while seating compulsive liar and conman George Santos and bowing and scraping to compulsive liar and conman Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy has shown America exactly what he believes in: nothing.

In no other nation do men with grievances and paranoias regularly process their pain by going on mass shooting sprees.
No other nation fetishizes violence and guns like we do. No other nation cares so little about who owns the machinery of mass slaughter.

3 days. Multiple mass shootings, more families grieve, more communities rocked.
Why live like this?
There are ways politicians can help fix this uniquely American problem.
Congress must be committed to stopping troubled souls from using weapons of war on their neighbors.

On what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe, girls and women have fewer rights than their mothers.
The fight continues to ensure that every woman — nationwide — has the right to safe and legal abortion.

So many issues face our country, yet Republicans are focused on something that is already a crime.
Why? Because they are interested in spreading fear, outlawing abortion nationwide, and criminalizing doctors.
Their bill today was nothing but a political stunt.

The Republican majority’s first bill is to defund an already understaffed IRS.
