I unequivocally condemn this attack on Israel and Iran’s attempts to destabilize the entire region. We now must work to avoid a larger regional war that would have devastating effects on civilians. Leaders must be focused on immediately de-escalating tensions.

As a gay teen myself, I struggled. The hateful messages I received took a real toll on my mental health.

On top of that, today, Republicans across the country are pushing anti-LGBTQ+ bills that target queer students.

We won't give in to their hate and cynicism.

Members of the European Parliament were approached and offered money to promote Russian propaganda.

My GOP colleagues are cheap dates β€” they do it for free. cp24.com/world/belgium-…

Clay designed an app to help his friend with dyslexia complete his homework assignments faster. The app, Lexiscan, takes a photo of text and then reads it aloud.

Congrats to Clay for winning the challenge and embodying our state's culture of innovation!

The Judiciary Committee held a hearing about fighting for a free press.

Tell me why β€” instead of discussing something productive like the PRESS Act which has broad bipartisan support β€” Republicans spent the time spreading conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory.

Today we celebrate 56 years of the Fair Housing Act β€” protecting people from housing discrimination.

The Fair Housing Act was a critical step towards true equity, but millions of Americans still lack stable, quality housing, so our work continues.

Hard to understate how big of an impact this will have. This loophole is how unlicensed gun dealers have been able to sell tens of thousands of firearms each year with no background checks. Background checks for gun purchases are fundamental for safe communities.

How many times can one man lie about the same issue in a lifetime? He can't keep the script straight because he has no beliefs and never has.

The Republicans are clearly eyeing the Comstock Act as a way to restrict abortion, contraception, and women's control over their own bodies.

So wrong and so out of touch.

Young people can't buy a house because they have a mere fraction of the purchasing power that Baby Boomers had. Home prices have risen 2x faster than income. The dream of owning a home has become more and more out of reach for so many young people.

We’re urging the Biden Administration to immediately withhold weapons transfers to Israel. As Gaza descends into famine and aid continues to be blocked from getting to those in need, it’s unjustifiable to approve further weapons transfers.

Americans are skipping meals, selling belongings, working extra hours or getting another job β€” just to afford their rent or mortgage.

We cannot accept this as normal. The housing crisis is real. axios.com/2024/04/06/hou…

President Biden is canceling *more* student loan debt for tens of millions of Americans that just want to get on their feet. This is a president that wants to see working families thrive. wsj.com/politics/polic…
