Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Before I was evicted from a joint session of Congress, I told Pres. Trump he had no mandate to cut Medicaid, Medicare, or SS. I stand now, where I stood then, to keep these essential services from being gutted to line the pockets of billionaires. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

FEMA leader David Richardson's ham-handed approach to disaster relief is painfully unacceptable. During the recent flooding in Texas, he was reportedly unreachable for 24 hours and has joked about deliberately delaying aid to Democratic-led states. He must be held accountable.

Today, we honor the memory of the thousands of civilians, first responders, and volunteers tragically lost during and in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack.

We must always honor their memory and the resilience of the American spirit during our country’s darkest hours.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a call to action for people of goodwill to take a stand against all forms of violence. Paraphrasing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we must all learn to live together as brothers (and sisters), or we will all perish together as fools.
