It’s heartbreaking that, 13 years after Sandy Hook, we’ve done far too little to stop these reoccuring tragedies. The American people want common sense gun safety measures. If you need a license to drive a car or open a business, you should need one to operate a weapon of war.

Thirteen years ago, 20 children and 6 educators were murdered at Sandy Hook—an attack that stole futures and shook our nation to its core. We owe their families more than remembrance, we owe them action. Today, I recommit to doing everything in my power to stop this from ever happening again.
Last night at Brown, students were studying for their last exams, excited to return home to reunite with their family and friends, their lives were forever altered by gun violence. We must do better for each other and not allow our futures to be dictated by the gun industry.
Achieving genuine peace requires more than the ceremonialism of signing documents and empty declarations of success by President Trump; It requires implementation and inclusive processes to address root causes of conflict.
I call on DRC, Rwanda, and M23 to end the violence.
This is wrong, and we must continue to stand and fight to lower costs and increase access to health care for Americans.
Today, Democrats voted vote to lower health care costs for Americans, instead of joining with us, Senate Republicans voted against stopping premium increases for more than 20 million Americans.
This year Trump and the GOP have launched an all-out assault on Americans health care–cutting medicaid, kicking 17 million off health insurance, and eliminating funding for life-saving research.
Congressional Republicans have no plan to deal with the twin health care tsunamis they created. Today they can vote for our plan to protect Americans’ health care and give us the time we need to make the system stronger.
Today the Senate will vote whether to lower health insurance costs for Americans, or let them double for millions. I urge my Republican colleagues to join us and address this crisis.
Too many Americans are already one lost job or one twist of fate away from losing their health care. Now Republicans are letting costs skyrocket for over 20 million Americans, we have to stop this crisis.
There’s a clear pattern: Trump is turning the pardon power, which is meant for mercy, into rewards for the wealthy and well-connected, eroding trust in both the law and the presidency.
Quid pro quo pardons are plain corruption.
Imaad Zuberi was serving 12 years for violating lobbying, campaign finance, and tax laws, and obstructing an investigation into Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee. Zuberi had donated $1.1M post-2016 election and posted photos with Trump and his top aides. Trump pardoned him.
Trump pardoned Binance billionaire Changpeng Zhao after the Emirates used the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto to fund a $2B Binance investment.
David Hanna, Georgia elector and CEO of Atlanticus Holdings involved in the 2020 “fake elector” scheme, received a pardon after donating at least $145,500 to Trump. Several other fake electors who donated to Trump have also been pardoned.
Trevor Milton was convicted of securities and wire fraud and sentenced to 4 years in prison for defrauding investors about Nikola’s “working” truck prototype. Weeks before the 2024 election, Milton and his wife gave $1.8M to Trump, and he hired lawyers tied to Trump’s inner circle.
Paul Walczak stole $10M from his employees’ paychecks to fund his luxury lifestyle, got 18 months in prison, and owed $4.4M in restitution. After his mother donated $1M at a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, Trump gave him a full pardon. Walczak hasn’t paid his victims a single dollar.
Jason Galanis who was sentenced to 15 years for stealing $80M from union pension funds and a Native American tribe was pardoned after testifying in Republicans’ failed Biden impeachment probe. Trump’s pardon wiped out the $84.4M in restitution he owed his victims.
On International Anti-Corruption Day, it’s worth remembering how Trump has turned the pardon power into a pay-to-play enterprise to reward wealthy donors and political allies while leaving victims in the dust 🧵
Now, 200 former attorneys have published an open letter to sound the alarm bell on the all-out war DOJ leadership has waged on the Division and how they have abandoned the mission of protecting the rights of America’s most vulnerable.
The Civil Rights Division was established 68 years ago today to systematically enforce federal civil rights laws and protect voting rights.
