Happy Labor Day! Let us never forget who makes up the backbone of this great nation—our unions. We must protect the right to unionize. Raise the minimum wage. Secure better benefits. Build a safer workplace for all. 🧑‍🏭👩‍🌾👷‍♂️👩‍💼

Don’t trust what Republicans say. Watch what they do. Nearly every Republican voted against protecting access to and requiring insurance coverage of IVF but now they’re lying about why they voted no. You can read the bill for yourself here ➡️ congress.gov/bill/118th-con…

Absolutely horrific. Our kids deserve to start a new school year without fearing for their lives. Parents deserve to send them off without worrying if they'll make it home. Republicans must get out of the way and let us do more to prevent this needless pain and loss. Enough.

To all those juggling the joys and stressors of parenthood, know this: You are not alone. We can and we must do much more to make it easier to raise a family in America. The mental and financial toll on today's parents does not need to be tomorrow's reality.

It was an honor to lead this year’s presidential delegation to the Paralympic Games and cheer on each of the incredible athletes representing Team USA on the world stage. You’ve got this! 👏

Our children deserve leaders that will take action to keep them safe. Democrats are ready to pass an assault weapons ban. It's time Republicans get out of the way.

Nearly 16 million jobs have been created under the Biden-Harris Administration, and the average unemployment rate is the lowest it's been under any Administration over the last 50 years. The American workforce is stronger under Democrats.

This World Suicide Prevention Day, remember: it is okay to not be okay. If you or someone you know is struggling, there's always someone to talk to at the new Suicide and Crisis Lifeline that we launched under the Biden-Harris Administration. Just call or text 988.

Never underestimate the Huskies! Beyond proud to see my alma mater take home the win against Notre Dame over the weekend. Congratulations NIU Football and Thomas Hammock! 🐾

Talk is cheap. Donald Trump and Republicans have shown us again and again how they would take away our freedom to access IVF and build our families.

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 lives were stolen by a heinous terrorist attack on American soil. Today, we mourn with their loved ones as well as honor the brave first responders who ran toward danger to save thousands of their fellow Americans. We will never, ever forget.

A huge milestone reached. And we're not done! Democrats will never stop working until every American has access to affordable, reliable health care.

30 years ago today, Republicans and Democrats united to enact a federal assault weapons ban. We put safety first. We put our kids first. But in 2004, Republicans let it expire—and mass shootings tripled. Tripled. Enough. We know it works. We need to reinstate that ban. Now.

When then-Senator Biden's Violence Against Women Act was enacted 30 years ago, our nation sent a message: Everyone deserves to live free of fear and violence.   Our work is not finished—but this is welcome progress to strengthen VAWA and support survivors. Thank you, President Biden!

Alright, Donald Trump. Now’s your chance. If you really want to make it easier to access IVF, then tell Senate Republicans to help pass my Right to IVF Act. Next week, we’ll vote.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🥳 All month long, we come together to celebrate the leaders, change-makers and trailblazers of the Latino community throughout our history. Their diversity makes us stronger—always.

I am relieved former President Trump is safe after reports of gunfire at his property. I, along with all patriotic Americans, condemn all acts of political violence no matter the political positions of those targeted.
