Every federal court so far has blocked or rejected these bans as discriminatory and dangerous.
Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. 54 years ago, members of the LGBTQ+ protested for our right to be seen, heard, and protected. It was a moment in time that forever transformed the gay liberation movement.

Your weekly reminder that since the insurrection, corporate interests have given $69.5 million benefitting the 147 members who voted not to certify the election results.
This week we're spotlighting @MetLife, which has given $7,000 to benefit the Sedition Caucus.
House MAGA Rs should never have threatened to default on our debts & destroy our economy to impose their agenda on America. I commend @POTUS for foiling their extremist demands. But it is time to change the law to defuse the default bomb once & for all.
My full statement:
The right said @POTUS had mismanaged the end of Title 42. They predicted a massive, catastrophic increase in border crossings.
For the most part, the media parroted this fear.
So what really happened?
Average crossings per day didn’t go up. They went DOWN. By 25% from 2022.

Today marks the 5th year in a row I’ve stood before the Michigan Senate with a resolution to recognize Gun Violence Awareness Month and #WearOrange Day.
But today, in the first Democratic Majority in 40 years, was the first year that this resolution was adopted.
Today, we #WearOrange to honor the brave survivors of gun violence.
To gun violence survivors everywhere: I will continue to uplift your voices & stories in Washington. And I won’t stop fighting until we address this tragic gun violence epidemic.
Children dying by gun violence is a uniquely American tragedy.
I #WearOrange on National Gun Violence Awareness Day because no child should live in fear of gun violence—in their schools, neighborhoods, or anywhere.
Today, these @MomsDemand supporters are wearing orange in reverence to the strength of gun violence survivors, and to stand shoulder to shoulder with fierce community leaders as we demand a safer future.

Hadiya Pendleton would turn 26 today.
Her life was cut short when she was shot at 15 years old, weeks after performing in President Obama's inauguration.
Today, we #WearOrange in honor of Hadiya and every victim of gun violence as we dare to imagine a future free of violence.
Want to protect kids? Stop taking away their health care. Stop taking away their books. Stop telling them who they can or can't be. The problem is guns. #WearOrange
