This week, @HouseDemocrats passed an elections security bill that requires campaigns to report offers of foreign assistance to the FBI.
This was an opportunity for Republicans to finally stand up for our democracy.
Instead, they decided to stand on the sidelines and do nothing.
Most countries have violent video games & films, persons w/ mental health illness, and extemists. But no country has the mass shooting carnage of America. What makes us so different? Unrestricted weaponry. Time to ban and buy back every assault weapon in America. #ElPasoShooting
The tragedy in El Paso was the 291st mass shooting this year.
Earlier this year, the House passed common sense gun safety legislation, HR 8 and HR 1112.
Mitch McConnell won’t allow a vote in the Senate on either bill. Enough is enough.
The political career of @realDonaldTrump began with birtherism and xenophobia. Then we heard about “good people on both sides.” And now he tells my duly elected colleagues to “go back” to where they came from.
Next November can’t get here fast enough for One Term Trump.
Our country is forcing young migrant children, separated from their parents, sometimes sick and always frightened, to sleep in filth on concrete floors without basic care. What are we becoming? Where is our humanity? https://t.co/ASNvGEf7fY

The House took action to pass #HR8 and #HR1112 and help #EndGunViolence, yet the Senate has done nothing for 100 days. Today, we #WearOrange to call on Leader McConnell to give our bills to prevent gun violence a vote. #EnoughIsEnough
Today on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, Americans from coast to coast are wearing orange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence, and to call attention to this crisis that takes 100 lives and injures hundreds more every single day. #WearOrange
Nonpartisan Congressional Research Service “finds that the cuts have had virtually no effect on wages, haven’t contributed to a surge in investment, and haven’t come close to paying for themselves. Nor have they delivered a cut to the average taxpayer.” https://t.co/ViW1W7mu6a
Another senseless gun violence tragedy breaks the heart of our nation this morning.
No more blaming everything but guns for gun violence.
No more refusing to come to the table to discuss real, common-sense gun reforms.
On Memorial Day, we remember all those who gave everything for something greater than themselves. It's up to us to not simply reflect on their sacrifice but to honor it with service of our own—and by living out the values they fought for.
🇺🇸 Deep appreciation to the brave men & women who responded to their Nation’s call & who gave their last full measure of devotion. We honor their memory & sacrifice only by staying true to the values, principles, & decency that shape the promise of America.
Young San Diegan emerges as new leader, running her first #StoptheBans Reproductive Freedom Rally today. With support from #Indivisible & SD Women’s March, Natelina gave voice to our outrage & hope that young people will engage in this fight like never before 💪🏼💪🏽💪🏿
Trump’s grudge against California continues, now by withholding reimbursements that state fire agencies are owed for battling wildfires on federal lands last year. Not acceptable! https://t.co/T6RxEgg4xE
I am closely monitoring the situation at Congregation Chabad in Poway. Thank you to all of the first responders on the scene and law enforcement who detained a suspect. We must do more to address the hate behind this attack and end the epidemic of gun violence in this country.
Dear ‘American Christian’:
Christ is not American.
Christ didn’t say “Love America.”
Christ said “Love your neighbor.”
The Christ-definition of neighbor is global and comprehensive.
Christ-Love is without walls and beyond borders.
There’s a more humane way.
Let’s travel it.
Friday prayers at local mosque, those attending prayers were joined by community members who stood outside providing safety, solidarity and kindness. Wherever you are you can stand against hate. This act was met with gratitude for our show of support. ❤️🌺🌸🌼
