    There’s a whole lot weighing on our world right now, and a lot of work for all of us to do. But when you’ve had a rough week, remember there are still good tunes and good friends to light the way. Have a great weekend, everybody.

    My take on today's hearings: Grave misconduct by President Trump was detailed in Mueller's report. Now it's been detailed under oath before Congress. It cannot be swept under the rug.

    "He also insists — contrary to most evidence — that the Chinese are paying the import taxes." Translation: the President is lying to you about where the burden of his trade war is really falling - on American businesses and families.

    After the tragic 9/11 attacks, Congress established programs to support heroic first responders and other survivors. Now those programs are running out of money. Today I'll vote to extend support—and I hope every single Senator does the same. It's just the right thing to do.

    Mueller's report confirmed that Russia "interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion." Election integrity is one of the most critical issues facing our country. We must vote on legislation that will .

    It’s been 50 years since the world first saw that giant leap forward — I remember my brothers and I gathering around our black and white TV to watch, knowing that it was a truly historic moment. Thankful for the men and women at inspiring us, then and now!

    $7.25 an hour is not a livable wage, period. No American working a full-time job should be living in poverty, but millions are. Let’s bring this bill to the Senate floor and I will proudly vote YES on a $15 minimum wage!

    Bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate were clear: DON'T sell weapons to Saudi Arabia—weapons that in all likelihood will be used against innocent civilians in Yemen. Trump‘s disregard for the American people's elected representatives on this issue is shameful.

    I just sent a letter calling on the FBI to open an investigation into the Saudi government’s brutal murder of Virginia resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Despite credible evidence of high-level Saudi involvement, the Trump administration inexplicably refuses to act.

    Sad news about the passing of Johnny Clegg. If you ever saw his band live, you will never forget the experience. “One (Hu)Man One Vote.”

    The EEOC cites “go back to where you came from” as a classic form of discrimination that violates civil rights. The President’s bigoted words are so contrary to who we are as a country that we literally have laws against them.

    The President starts mass deportations today. It’s also Woody Guthrie’s birthday, who protested cruel deportations in his 1948 song, “Plane Wreck at Los Gatos.” “Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted... They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves.”

    This President sits exactly at the nexus of cruelty and incompetence, and we’ve got to do everything we can to stand up against his heartless actions.

    Trump can’t launch a unilateral war with Iran. The House affirmed that today and a majority of Senators agree. We need to put up guardrails against unnecessary war.
