    Absolutely heartbroken thinking of the victims, their loved ones and the entire Buffalo community as our nation struggles to understand this racially-motivated domestic terrorism attack. We must do more to end this kind of senseless violence and prove that hate has no place here.

    This and always, let us never forget the unwavering courage of Fred Korematsu who challenged the mass internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. By passing my Korematsu-Takai Civil Liberties Protection Act, we could honor his work & help ensure this never happens again.

    Over 50 Attorneys General support my Public Safety Officer Support Act to treat police officers and first responders who die by suicide as line-of-duty deaths. Anything less diminishes their service and sacrifice. It's time to get this done.

    It is utterly appalling that Senate Republicans, once again, blocked critical legislation to help protect Americans’ constitutional right to access reproductive care. Shame on them.

    For decades, Republicans have been plotting for this moment. They've blocked Democrats' pro-choice nominees and stacked SCOTUS with right-wing conservatives in an effort to take away a woman's right to determine her own future. We need to stop this now and codify Roe.

    We can't allow Republicans to drag us back to a time when those of us with uteruses were treated as second-class citizens. We need to pass the Women's Health Protection Act to codify Roe now.
