Voters saw what Senate Democrats were able to accomplish during the last two years:
The American Rescue Plan
The infrastructure bill
The PACT Act for veterans
A major gun safety law
The CHIPS and Science Act
The Inflation Reduction Act
And so, so much more
Today, we'll move forward on Jessica Rosenworcel's nomination to be @FCC Chair
She's had nearly a decade of experience as an FCC Commissioner
She's a fierce advocate for closing the digital divide and protecting net neutrality
And she'd be the first-ever woman to chair the FCC
It’s an honor and a privilege to serve as our country’s 28th Secretary of Defense, and I’m especially proud to be the first African American to hold the position. Let’s get to work.
I'm deeply honored & grateful that @POTUS@JoeBiden designated me to serve as Acting Chair of the @FTC. Working w/ our incredible staff has filled me w/ confidence that we'll be able to rise to the formidable challenges facing our markets & the American people.
THANK YOU DC! This was a hard fought and unconventional race. I am honored that voters have elected me as your next At-Large Councilmember. Excited to get to work for a more equitable DC!
Thank you @TechontheHill & @CapitolHillCBA for a great conversation about #InternetInequality, the future of work, network security & media ownership.
I look forward to continuing to work with you all these pressing issues.
I joined @TheRevAl on @PoliticsNation to talk about my National Criminal Justice Commission Act.
This long-overdue bill has broad bipartisan support and would reassess our entire criminal justice system, promote more equitable practices & improve public safety.
When I told Mark Zuckerberg last year that people were concerned @Facebook listens to & uses private audio conversations, he dismissed that notion as ‘a conspiracy theory.’
We now know there’s more to it than that. We need to get to the bottom of this.
The President’s comments that sitting members of Congress — who are American — should go back to the countries where they came from are wrong, racist and hurtful. I know such bigotry won’t deter my fellow members of Congress from their work on behalf of the American people.
