Everyone near me hid under tables and are now safe, including President Trump.
While details are still emerging, one thing is clear: Political violence is rising in our country. We need to do more than simply tone down polarizing rhetoric– we need to return to engaging in sensible policy debates rather than engaging in constant hyperbole.
Thankful for the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies for stepping up tonight and quickly detaining the shooter.

Today’s historic tornadoes have devastated communities across our state — but Nebraskans are resilient and strong and will respond as we always do by working together.
This morning, I filed for re-election to Congress. Serving #NE01 is an incredible honor, and I look forward to continuing my work to fix our broken economy, secure the southern border, and ensure our federal government is working for the American people.
