My bipartisan PRESS Act was just BLOCKED on the Senate floor. This bill is a no-brainer to protect free press in America, but I'm not giving up. I'm going to keep fighting until we get this across the finish line.

The Trump Administration spied on reporters to identify their sources and prevent the American people from learning the truth about Trump’s lawlessness and corruption. We need strong laws to protect reporters and their sources, and my PRESS Act is the way to do it.

Days later, videos of chants and confrontations are still visible on the Chinese internet. It’s a sign of how a groundswell outmatched the world’s best internet control system.
