The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The White House called Alex Pretti an “assassin.”
They called Renee Good a “domestic terrorist.”
And their investigations are shutting out local officials.
They tell Americans not to believe ‘their lying eyes.’
But no one can believe a word they say.

7 years since the horrific Tree of Life synagogue shooting, we have more work to do to honor the 11 lives lost that day. We must stand against the rising wave of anti-semitism and put an end to gun violence in our country.

12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The Republican One Big Ugly Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP.
That’s the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.
And now the extremists want to force millions more to go hungry.
