18 years ago today, a shooter killed 32 and injured 17 at Virginia Tech.
And all these years later, America is still the only country where this type of tragedy is commonplace.
It’s shameful Republicans won’t work with us to pass commonsense gun reform and help us save lives.

My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of these servicemembers—just tragic news. I will be seeking more information from DoD about the circumstances of these deaths and what can be done to prevent them in the future.
Trump’s plans to gut the State Department would jeopardize our global standing and national security, do almost nothing to cut the deficit and send a loud invitation to China and Russia to fill the leadership vacuum Trump would single-handedly create. apnews.com/article/stat...
This is dangerous for democracy *and* distracts our military from its mission of protecting you.
Separating the Armed Forces from civilian law enforcement is a core tenet of our democracy that helps protect you and your rights from government overreach. apnews.com/article/bord...
I caught up with @chicagomag.com about my efforts to push back against Trump's disastrous policies, my time as a Blackhawk pilot, what I've learned throughout my life of service and more. Check it out here: www.chicagomag.com/chicago-maga...
Americans pay into Social Security their entire working lives to live comfortably as seniors—
But Elon Musk and Donald Trump don't care.
Seniors are already seeing delays, and DOGE is teeing up more cuts to cripple the program.
They're playing with YOUR money and YOUR future.
Trump's purging the military of highly-experienced senior officers.
Why? Because he doesn't care about qualifications. He cares about loyalty.
Our heroes—and our national security—deserve better. My op-ed for Fox News: www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
As we continue to learn more about this deadly helicopter crash, I’m deeply saddened to learn the pilot grew up in Chicago and trained at Naval Station Great Lakes. I’m keeping his family and loved ones—as well as those of all 6 lost in this crash—in my thoughts.
Trump is screwing over farmers BIG-TIME.
Tariffs are driving up the costs of selling their goods overseas, fertilizer AND farm equipment.
USAID cuts and soon-to-be SNAP cuts are taking away customers who would otherwise buy their produce.
It's just body blow after body blow.
If you want to know what Republicans value, look at their budget.
It paves the way for massive cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and SNAP—
And mammoth tax cuts for billionaires.
Their top priority is pleasing Trump's golf pals and corporations shipping jobs overseas. Not you.
Black women in America are still 3x more likely to die from preventable pregnancy complications than white women.
And Trump's plans to slash Medicaid will only make this crisis worse.
We must protect Medicaid at all costs.
Yet another horrific helicopter crash.
I’m heartbroken for the six lives that were cut short and thinking of their loved ones as we continue to monitor this tragedy.
While we don’t yet know what happened, I remain laser-focused on keeping our skies safe.
I am monitoring this tragic situation and am thinking of this officer's family, loved ones and co-workers today.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please know you are not alone. Help is available by phone, text, chat and videophone @988Lifeline, day or night.
When Republicans say they support our Veterans—
They lie.
Trump promised to lower costs, but he's doing the exact opposite.
While Trump wages trade wars and pushes tax cuts to make billionaires even richer—
Democrats are working to expand the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit to deliver relief for the middle-class.
BREAKING: I just called for unanimous consent to pass a simple resolution to condemn Donald Trump and Elon Musk firing thousands of Veterans—and demand that they give our heroes their jobs back.
Republicans blocked it.
Fired without explanation after serving with honor and distinction for decades—
All while Pete Hegseth keeps his job after leaking classified information that put our troops at even greater risk.
Trump and Elon Musk's mass layoffs are holding up... life-saving cancer research.
This is the opposite of efficient.
Retirement savings are crashing.
Trump’s tariffs have costs skyrocketing.
The stock market is tanking.
But at least Trump spent the weekend golfing…
This is not the economy that middle-class Americans voted for.
