My dear friends Barack and Michelle Obama have earned our respect through a lifetime of service and leadership. Racist attacks from a small man who desperately wants even a fraction of that respect won’t change it.
Always energizing to spend time with my friend @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants–CWA, AFL–CIO. She’s an outstanding labor leader, & together we’re fighting to ensure flight attendants get the fair pay & strong protections they have earned.
Grateful to work with bipartisan partners Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, @crow.house.gov, & @quigley.house.gov in the House, and @coons.senate.gov & Lisa Murkowski in the Senate. When we work together, we can deliver better care and bring much needed relief to ALS patients and families.
I watched as one of my dear friends suffered from ALS, a debilitating and fatal disease, with little hope. That’s why I’m reintroducing common-sense legislation to expand access to comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for people living with ALS.
This February, we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth and honor the Black leaders, pioneers, trailblazers, and heroes whose good trouble broke down barriers and propelled our nation forward. Their triumphs, innovations, and courage continue to shape our future. Black history is American history.
Every person in the U.S. deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care. I introduced legislation with @whitehouse.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov to drive down premiums, increase competition, and expand access to coverage for millions of Americans.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we reflect on the atrocities of the Holocaust and the lives lost. Memory alone is not enough. We must actively confront antisemitism, bigotry, and hate today and every day. #NeverAgain
Two people are now dead in Minnesota at the hands of Donald Trump's masked thugs. This is a direct result of Trump’s deliberate campaign to unleash brutality and lawlessness on our immigration system. There are no words strong enough to express my disgust at these atrocities.
BREAKING: Federal officers have shot another person in Minneapolis amid the immigration crackdown, Gov. Tim Walz says.
From hospitals to rural clinics, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists provide critical pain management care to millions each year. I introduced a bipartisan resolution with Rep. Dave Joyce honoring their role in delivering high-quality care nationwide.
It was 53 years ago when Roe v. Wade guaranteed access to safe, legal abortion care. But the right-wing, rogue Supreme Court stripped away that right. We can’t accept this as reality. We will not stop fighting until we restore reproductive rights!
The DHS appropriations bill we just voted on funds detention, deportation, and further enables abuse and lawlessness. I voted NO. I will not empower Trump's secret police. Instead, we should impeach Kristi Noem and pass humane, comprehensive immigration solutions.
While people are working multiple jobs just to afford their prescriptions and medical bills, Trump wants to spend $700 billion of taxpayer money on Greenland. We should be investing in affordable health care and real solutions for families, not alienating allies for his ego.
Let Dr. King’s teachings serve as a guide for us all as we advocate for a more just society, one in which our systems work for everyone, not just a wealthy few. We will stand together, organize, and fight back.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. presented us with the vision of a world where justice and love triumph over bigotry and hate. Attempts to undermine #MLKDay or sow division defy everything he stood for. We are more alike than we are different.
When companies profit, workers should too. I’m proud to support @afacwa.org Flight Attendants who are picketing today demanding a fair contract from United Airlines. When we fight, we win! #UnionStrong #ContractNow
Standing with the Iranian people means opposing repression by their own government and exploitation by outside powers. The Iranian government must end its brutal crackdown and uphold basic human rights.
