    It's shameful that is willing to shut down the gov't and furlough more than 800K employees during the holidays just to get his senseless and xenophobic border wall -- which I totally oppose. He must work with Dems to keep the gov't open and secure our borders efficiently.

    This is extremely troubling. Even after my colleagues and I grilled Mark Zuckerberg over privacy standards earlier this year, it seems is still unwilling to be transparent about its use of personal data. We need a further investigation -- and the truth.

    The Texas court ruling on the once again shows that Republicans will stop at nothing to destroy this law and rip away the health coverage it has provided for millions of Americans. We will use all tools at our disposal to make sure this decision does not stand.

    It's not only sad, , it's an outrage. Let's be clear -- this young girl's tragic death is the direct result of America's draconian policies at the border that put more people in these dangerous situations. Platitudes and condolences aren't enough. We need change.

    Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the death of a 7-year-old girl in the custody of U.S. Border Patrol last week “is a very sad example of the dangers” migrants face when they try to illegally enter the U.S.

    This ruling sends a strong message to anti-choice ideologues in the administration; they have no right to interfere in employees’ personal reproductive health decisions. This is a victory for women, for health and for our constitution.

    It's unthinkable that six years after this tragedy, and the many mass shootings that have occurred since, America is still paralyzed by inaction. In the new Congress, we must make passing gun safety legislation a top priority. No more senseless deaths. No more excuses.

    They were children. It was unspeakable. And then our leaders did nothing—so we all stood up. Today marks 6 years since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary. No matter how many years pass, my heart breaks. No matter how many years pass, my life will remain devoted to this cause.
