Do not forget: Five years ago, rioters incited by Trump tried to destroy our democracy. Trump pardoned & then glorified them, & then empowered them in key Administration offices. We cannot allow his rewriting history. Do not forget: Police were brutally attacked, injured & killed, doing their job to enable a peaceful democratic transition of power. They still bear the scars. So does democracy. Do not forget: Democracy is not guaranteed. It cannot be taken for granted. | Senator Richard Blumentha

On this 3rd anniversary of Russia’s bloody assault—now more than ever—America must stand with Ukraine. Not just in words, but action. Supporters should flood my Congressional colleagues with this message—a call to action for freedom. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. If Putin prevails in Ukraine, he’ll seek to swallow others—NATO allies like Poland Sweden, Finland, that we are obligated to defend, & our troops will be bleeding & dying along with Ukraine’s. History’s lesson is stark & harsh: appeasem

Today I proudly joined many of my colleagues in announcing a groundswell of support for Sen. Markey’s Congressional Review Act resolution to reinstate Net Neutrality. We now have 40 Senate cosponsors – surpassing the 30 needed to force a vote on protecting the foundation of our free and open internet. Because of Sen. Markey’s efforts, and the inspiring determination of countless grassroots activists, Americans will get to see whether their elected officials stand with consumers or massive teleco

Trump escalates his attack & amasses more free legal work for clients he dictates. Law firms bending the knee to his bullying become part of his “network," as he calls them. Legal serfs & supplicants ready to do his bidding. Let’s recognize law firms standing up & speaking up against Trump’s repugnant campaign of threats & intimidation. They’re resisting a slide toward tyranny. We should all be paying attention to law firms bending the knee to his bullying—& those that don't. | Senator Richard B

Powerful words from today’s witnesses. Eloquent & moving advocates who are exactly right: “We’re done with the hearings, we’re done with the stories—we’re looking to you all for action. I am confident that you can all come together & do this for us & for America’s children.” I also feel that sense of outrage at Congressional inaction. The Kids Online Safety Act & EARN IT Act are the least we can do to help begin protecting children online—giving people the tools, transparency, & guardrails they
