    On Juneteenth, we recognize the lasting, generational harms of slavery. Justice is still so often denied to Black Americans. We recommit to building a more just country for all. That must include removing the Slavery Clause from the 13th Amendment. #EndTheException

    Trump’s Iran deal is humiliating for him. His war of choice has been devastating for us.

    I’m glad the bombs have stopped falling, but we are so much worse off than we were before Trump’s illegal war of choice. This is a crisis of Trump’s own making. What Trump called Operation Epic Fury is now Operation Epic Failure.

    A chilling look into how this Administration wants to take away our constitutional rights, settled precedent, and trample on the rule of law. I will not let up the pressure to protect our most fundamental rights.

    DACA is a vital program—a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, folks brought to the U.S. as children. As the program remains under attack from the Trump Administration, I’ll keep working to protect DACA and fix our broken immigration system to respect the dignity of each person.
