Five years ago today, Trump encouraged his supporters to attack Congress, the Capitol, and our democracy.
I mourn for the lives lost and for those injured in the violent attack. Today is a reminder that we must not become numb to political violence.
I am committed to defending our democracy.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.

Low-income parents and children are the biggest casualties of a viral Minnesota video
The federal subsidy program that provides assistance for child care costs is already so severely underfunded that only 8% of the nation’s children who qualify for a subsidy are able to use one.
