Delaying Garland’s AG confirmation endangers national security in the midst of the rising threat of domestic terrorism. As Republicans impede approval of the nation’s chief law enforcer, the Capitol remains in lockdown & violent extremists continue plotting.
I couldn’t be prouder to introduce Brenda Mallory at her nomination hearing. Brenda's CT roots, tough work ethic, commitment to coalition building, & belief in the importance of environmental justice make her the perfect person to Chair the Council on Environmental Quality.
As @endforcedarb 's map shows, all across the country people are being denied their day in court & companies are evading accountability through forced arbitration. Congress must pass the FAIR Act to eliminate these harmful agreements.
We are still fighting to right this monstrous wrong. @JoaquinCastrotx & I have introduced a bill to ensure all separated families can be reunited permanently in the United States. Congress must pass this legislation & commit to a simple truth: families belong together.
The Charleston loophole has allowed thousands of dangerous people—people prohibited under current law from possessing a firearm—to buy a gun. If you haven’t passed a background check, you shouldn’t be able to purchase a weapon. No check, no gun. It’s really that simple.
Closing this glaring loophole six years ago would have stopped the Charleston shooter from walking out of a store with a gun he was already legally ineligible to buy. Enough is enough. It’s time to close this loophole & pass the Background Check Completion Act.
I just finished a terrific call with Susan Rice & her team. Clearly, President Biden & his administration care deeply about taking meaningful action on gun violence prevention. The time is now to work collaboratively—& stop the scourge of gun violence.

Shocked & appalled—I just left a 90 minute classified briefing on foreign malign threats to our elections. From spying to sabotage, Americans need to see & hear these reports.
This morning’s classified coronavirus briefing should have been made fully open to the American people—they would be as appalled & astonished as I am by the inadequacy of preparedness & prevention.
One of my constituents went to the FBI with evidence that Judge Kavanaugh was in touch with the wife of an alleged eye witness regarding Ms. Ramirez’s allegations of sexual misconduct before the New Yorker story broke. The FBI never called her back.
