These crises require bold, innovative, and bipartisan action.
It is my hope that my colleagues, old and new, find common ground in the spirit of service to their constituents.

We reached across the aisle to find common ground while standing strong to fight for equal justice & ensure accountability in govt.
We worked to address the issues keeping families up at night — drug costs, #COVID19, an unequal economy, overbearing taxes, and the climate crisis.

While it's thrilling to see win...again...I'm thinking about the 300,000+ Americans killed by #COVID19.
Instead of fighting the coronavirus, and his radical supporters attacked our Constitution. It's unforgivable.

Rejoining the Paris Agreement is the first step. We must do more to hold polluters accountable and build our economy back better using clean technology. #ActOnClimate

Five years ago today, the world gathered to adopt the Paris Agreement on climate change.
On day one of the Biden-Harris administration, we will rejoin the Paris Agreement.

Public service workers stepped up when we needed them most and risked their lives to save ours. Now, more than 1.2 million of them are unemployed because states, cities, towns, and schools desperately need aid.
We must #FundTheFrontLines. Now.

Pro tip: don't mess with Congresswoman Katie Porter.

When I tried to read @stevenmnuchin1 the law that contradicts his bogus claim to get people less COVID relief, he questioned whether I'm a lawyer.
Just want to make sure he has the answer: one of us is a lawyer, and it's not him.

Our country's national security is dependent on a transparent & orderly transition of power. Today's firing of Secretary Esper paints a troubling picture of the weeks to come.
Acting SecDef Miller must lead with unity in mind, not the divisive rhetoric of President Trump.

I was delighted to join my colleagues to celebrate Michael Nguyen's return home to the United States, after spending more than 2 years in a Vietnamese prison. Michael’s case is yet another reminder of the continued need to promote human rights & democratic values within Vietnam.

Michael Nguyen never should have been imprisoned by the Vietnamese government. He & his family exhibited remarkable resilience & strength during the over 2 years he spent in custody. It was an honor to celebrate his homecoming w/ my colleagues this week.

To combat climate change, we must use every tool at our disposal, including the tax code.
We must continue advocating for meaningful and innovative environmental policies – the health of our planet depends on it.

Today, I am thinking about the victims and families impacted by last year's Long Beach Halloween shooting. My condolences go out to them as we continue to press for common-sense solutions to reduce gun violence in our communities.
