On #DayOfNoSilence , we join GLSEN and hundreds of thousands of queer students and their allies in protest of discriminatory, anti-LGBTQI+ school policies & laws across the US. The time for silence is over.

Our members will always have LGBTQI+ students' backs.

This week, I joined CNN, CBS and @NBC to discuss my letter signed by 55 of my colleagues to the White House urging them to withhold unconditional aid to Israel so that we’re not supplying bombs that are being used to kill kids in Gaza.

A lot of folks have asked about the security funding discharge petition.

I support aid for Ukraine but this petition is tied to unconditional funding for arms to Israel, which I cannot support. Hopefully, we can get a Ukraine-only vote on the floor, which I'll gladly support.

Really excited about the important upcoming work next week in the United States House of Representatives...

This is huge news from President Biden. Background checks save lives. It's time for Congress to enact universal background checks for all gun sales!

Yesterday, I met with Acting Secretary Julie Su to discuss our ongoing fight for the rights of workers everywhere.
Thank you for a great conversation Sec. Su!

In states with anti-LGBTQ laws, hate crimes against those students have more than quadrupled.

In today’s Appropriations hearing, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona reaffirmed his support for our community & commitment to combating instances of bullying & harassment in schools.

The indiscriminate killing must stop. The aid must flow. The hostages must be released. A ceasefire must hold to protect every child in Gaza and Israel.

It's time for a divorce from Benjamin Netanyahu.

Rep. Mark Pocan, who is among a group of congressional Democrats urging President Biden to halt the transfer of weapons to Israel, tells @nanycordes Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu 'is not in sync with U.S. interests.'

'I think it's time for a divorce from Benjamin Netanyahu,'…

Historic student debt relief and a historic eclipse.

Great to join Jim Acosta on CNN to talk about the letter I led urging President Biden to withhold offensive arms to Israel and his visit to Madison in a few hours.

Unions.
