    This day reminds me of Congress’ failure to respond. The consequences of inaction have been devastating for families and communities across the country. The next Congress must take action. We cannot wait for another life to be lost.

    With their support, as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2013, I advanced 4 bills to reduce gun violence, including universal background check legislation. All were defeated on the Senate floor due to Republican opposition.

    I’ve always been inspired by how so many Sandy Hook parents channeled their grief and hardship to push for commonsense changes to our nation’s gun laws, to hopefully prevent such tragedies from occurring again.

    Today marks the eighth year anniversary since the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. I am thinking of all the families that had someone taken from them on that terrible day.

    After losing his own bid for re-election, Pres. Trump cannot by “proclamation” negate int’l law or the rights of the people of W. Sahara. They are entitled to what they have long been promised – a free and fair vote on self-determination.

    I join & in urging the Gov of Pakistan to urgently and credibly investigate, and hold perpetrators accountable for, the surge in violent attacks on the Ahmadiyya community, which has long been oppressed. Their persecution must end.

    The Saudi authorities have once again shown their willingness to trample on fundamental rights. The prison sentence of Dr. Fitaihi is a travesty that should be universally condemned.

    Saudi-American Dr. Walid Fitaihi was sentenced to 6 yrs in prison for "illegally" obtaining U.S. citizenship. This is outrageous and if the Saudi gov't truly values the U.S.-Saudi relationship then they should release him immediately and allow him to reunite with his family.

    I met Paul when he was a junior member of the House, 47 years ago. He was a master legislator, a craftsman, a man of towering integrity, brilliant and a lovely human being. I will miss him. May his memory be a blessing.

    Paul was a principled and kind soul, and a wise and effective legislator. And he was a good friend.

    Paul Sarbanes and I served together on the Foreign Relations Committee for 30 years. There was no one sharper, more committed, or with firmer principles. And he, too, returned to his family nearly every night. They meant the world to him. Rest In Peace, Paul.
