On September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent lives were stolen in the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil.
In addition to remembering the victims, please take a moment to honor the survivors, first responders, and families whose lives were forever changed. #NeverForget

House Republicans are trying to ban research on gun violence—when it is the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. And more than half of gun deaths are suicides, with that number rising to 70% for veterans. (1/2)

Quigley: Trump acts like a tough guy when it comes to going after some undocumented kid, but when he comes up against someone tougher than him, this president is a wimp.

Tariff power belongs to Congress, not Donald Trump. I'm urging the U.S. Court of Appeals to stand with states like Illinois that have sued to end Trump's unconstitutional trade war.

Conservatives say they want non-ideological research. That describes 95% of us empirical political scientists. But they're establishing conservative centers that intentionally privilege conservative, ideologically-driven scholars in the humanities while eschewing the empirical social sciences.

Measles is making the worst comeback in decades because of politics, not science. The anti-vaccine movement has spread dangerous misinformation, and the Trump administration is feeding the flames. We need experts, not conspiracy theorists, guiding the nation.

The Trump administration mistakenly sent emails to Ukrainian refugees with temporary legal status, urging them to leave immediately or "the federal government will find you."
This behavior is unacceptable — @menendez.house.gov and I led a letter condemning it.

Even in women-dominated fields, like education and health care, women earn less than men.
