For far too long, gay and bisexual men have been barred from giving blood by a discriminatory, medically unwarranted practice.   Thank you for this important change which will save lives and advance our progress in the fight for dignity and equality.

The FDA ended its decades-long ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men, a policy that had been denounced as discriminatory. nyti.ms/3pzDxzl
The text reads: "FDA Ends Ban on Blood Donations From Gay and Bisexual Men. For years, gay and bisexual men were blocked from donating blood. The FDA finalized rules that will let many donate based on answers to questions that focus on recent sexual activity."

The MAGA movement would rather use newcomers to our Nation as political pawns than work across the aisle to achieve comprehensive immigration reform. Meanwhile, put forth a proposal to secure our border, while respecting our heritage as a nation of immigrants.

With their Child Deportation Act, Republicans made clear their extreme, ineffective, anti-immigrant agenda. They voted to cruelly deport innocent children, set taxpayer dollars ablaze paying for a medieval border wall, and weaken law enforcement’s ability to combat fentanyl.

Trump claiming that January 6th was a “beautiful day,” saying that defaulting on America’s full faith and credit would just be “a bad day” and refusing to say if Ukraine or Russia should win the war for Democracy again proves that he is unfit to serve.

Secretary Norm Mineta was a trailblazing leader & devoted patriot, who dedicated his life to serving a nation that interned him & his Japanese family. It’s fitting has named its building for Norm, as well as another barrier-breaking leader Secretary William Coleman, Jr.

Today, we're honored to celebrate the extraordinary legacies of former DOT Secretaries William T. Coleman, Jr. and Norman Y. Mineta by renaming our federal building after them. Long after their time in office, they are powerful examples to all who aspire to service.

Sickened by the mass shooting in Allen that terrorized families spending their afternoon at the mall. Our prayers are with the beautiful souls stolen, the victims wounded and their devastated loved ones, and we salute the heroic first responders.  We must stop the bloodshed.

During Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate the magnificent leadership of our country's Jewish community: who for generations have been an integral thread in our national fabric.   As antisemitism surges at home and abroad, we must continue to give hatred no safe harbor.

While SF has an ongoing, increasingly robust public health response, we need law enforcement targeted at the cartels – which promote overdose deaths and violent crime. Operation Overdrive would unlock more federal resources to deter fentanyl trafficking and ensure public safety.

In San Francisco, we share a strong sense of community and the overall safety in our City. But we have a specific concern about the fentanyl crisis. That's why I'm requesting from a designation of Operation Overdrive for San Francisco.

Since signed our #PACTAct into law, more than 500,000 veterans have filed claims for health benefits – and millions more have been screened for toxic exposure. As we celebrate this milestone, we renew our pledge to honor our heroic veterans with the benefits they're due.

Today, I joined to make it clear to Republicans: hands off veterans' health benefits.   The Republicans' debt limit bill puts veterans’ health care at risk and jeopardizes their benefits they have earned.

Today, we mourn the loss of Harry Belafonte: a cultural giant who blazed trails in music and in the fight to realize America’s highest ideals.    His iconic voice will never cease to spark smiles and brighten rooms, and his advocacy for human rights will be felt for generations.

In 2019, Congress recognized the atrocities committed by the Ottoman Empire as genocide. When he took office, kept his promise to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. By affirming the history of this tragedy, we work to make sure such horror can never again happen.

No judge should substitute his or her judgment for that of FDA experts with rulings that have no basis in science or law. Mifepristone has proven safe and effective for decades — and it must remain available to all.

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court is the right decision for millions of women nationwide. But it is only temporary. The fight to protect women’s health freedom is not over yet. As this case proceeds, Democrats will never stop fighting to ensure access to this vital medication.

Restricting access to mifepristone has no basis in law or science, denies women safe & effective medication, & threatens access to thousands of life-saving drugs. Democrats will always fight for women’s right to choose. I support challenging this reckless ruling.
