    Proud to stand with my colleagues today to see the first step in stopping the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes signed into law.   Mahalo to and for your support of the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. Hate has no place in our country.

  2. No parent should have to worry about whether they can find the formula their baby needs.   That's why I joined in calling on to appoint a White House Coordinator in charge of ending this crisis and getting formula back on shelves.

  3. As working families struggle to afford high gas prices from Putin’s war and the Covid recovery, oil & gas companies are focused on rewarding their executives and wealthy shareholders, rather than investing in production to lower prices.   They must be held accountable.

  5. One year ago today, signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law.   Today, we must reaffirm our commitment to combatting the discrimination, prejudice, & racism that communities of color, the LGBTQ+ community, women, and more continue to face.

  9. Women in our country are going to wake up one morning soon & realize they no longer control their own bodies. This is about who gets to decide what we do with our bodies—women or government? are fighting to protect women's fundamental right to control our bodies.

  10. I’m glad the Senate passed much-needed aid for the people of Ukraine.   But it shouldn’t have taken this long.   Republicans need to stop playing politics with what should be an unwavering commitment to help Ukraine fight back against Putin’s reckless and inhumane war.

  11. I just went to the Senate floor to pass a bill to establish a commission to study the creation of a National Museum of History and Culture. Thank you for your leadership on this issue. This bill now heads to 's desk.

  15. Amid a disturbing assault on LGBTQ+ rights, today, and every day, I stand with LGBTQ+ people everywhere.   On International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, I call on all of us to reaffirm that hatred of any kind has no place in our society.

    White supremacy is a poison running through our body politic. We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America. Failure to do so will be complicity. Silence will be complicity. We cannot remain silent.

  17. Americans are questioning the Supreme Court’s independence now more than ever before. It's clear why—the Court lacks accountability & transparency.   It's time the Court had a Code of Ethics to guide the Justices as they navigate the tough ethical questions they face.

  18. I'm heartbroken for the Buffalo community and horrified by this racist act of violence and hate. The vile white supremacy that motivated this attack is a threat to our safety and our nation. Violent extremism must be stopped and those who spread it, held accountable.

  20. I sent a letter to the FDA urging them to quickly resolve the baby formula crisis and develop a plan to prevent this from happening again.   Families rely on access to safe, affordable formula and millions across the country are suffering from this shortage.

  21. This soon to be decision will give free reign to dozens of states led by Republican legislatures and Republican governors to outlaw and criminalize abortions. This fight is not over. FULL STATEMENT:
