7 years ago, a hateful act of gun violence stole 23 innocent lives in El Paso, leaving our nation and the Latino community devastated.

Proud to join @speakerpelosi, @repzoelofgren, and local leaders to discuss the landmark 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. This legislation addresses the national housing crisis from every angle: encouraging more home building, accelerating permitting, making modular homes more affordable, expanding financing to build housing, and helping communities rebuild following disasters. This was a major milestone, and I'll continue to work to build on this success to ensure that everyone has access to a safe, affordable roof over their head.

61 years ago, President Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law—providing millions of vulnerable Americans with a pillar of health and economic security.
He did so in Independence, Missouri, alongside President Truman, who championed the initiative during his time in office.
As Republicans gut these vital lifelines to give more tax cuts to the rich, our fight to protect the care that millions of Americans rely on has never been more important.

Harry Mitchell devoted his life to public service, from educating generations of young Arizonans in the classroom to serving the people of Tempe in the Arizona Legislature and the Congress.
Throughout his career, he was a steadfast advocate for veterans, helping strengthen the 21st Century G.I. Bill and expanding educational opportunity for those who served our nation.
May it be a comfort to Harry’s children, Mark and Amy, his grandchildren, and all who loved him that so many across Arizona and our country mourn with them at this sad time.

She has led a remarkable life of public service in her own right and as the wife of Majority Leader Bob Dole.
From the Cabinet to the Senate to her tireless advocacy for our nation's military and veteran caregivers through the @DoleFoundation—her leadership has always been rooted in compassion and patriotism.

Today, we mark 36 years since the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act—landmark legislation that expanded opportunity for millions.

Every American deserves a government that serves the people, not one that deprives them of resources based on how they voted.
Punishing Americans for their political views is a cruel and corrupt abuse of the public’s trust.

Republicans in Congress had a choice: lower costs for the American people or hand Trump another blank check for war.
To the surprise of no one, they chose endless unwanted wars while working families struggle to put food on the table and fill up their gas tank.

Obviously, Donald Trump is a loser.
In April, Donald Trump said he couldn't meet Americans' needs because "we're fighting wars."
Now, Republicans are reflecting those values with a new “America Last” budget that spends another $73 billion on Trump's endless wars while working families struggle to make ends meet.

While they spend American tax dollars on endless wars abroad and line the pockets of billionaires at home, Republicans are leaving working families with skyrocketing inflation and higher prices at the pump.
Trump and Republicans will do anything except lower costs.
