I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.
I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.
It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.
It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.
Our societies are too enslaved to market logic, and everything risks being subject to self-interest and the quest for profit. Volunteering is prophecy and a sign of hope, because it bears witness to the primacy of gratuitousness, solidarity, and service to those most in need.
An unelected billionaire should not have access to Americans’ personal data.
Elon Musk & DOGE are threatening our national security with their recklessness.
I'm quoted in this article on how NIH is still blocked from funding new grants.
This sabotage makes no sense. Nearly every medicine or treatment you've ever received has roots in NIH-funded research, and every $1 of NIH spending generates $2.46 in returns.

This is Ben. He was College GameDay's most beloved face, and his presence at football games brought joy to millions. Ben passed today at 10. In a post announcing the loss, his human Kirk called him "smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all" 💔 14/10
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
Laurie Hernandez is such a good commentator for women’s gymnastics. She does a great job of explaining really specific technicalities of the sport while also weaving in important narratives. This is how you get people interested in the sport beyond a surface level
Being B42 on Southwest Airlines and asking everyone in the area “what number are you?” to make sure B43 isn’t skipping you was an American tradition.
Sad day.
