  1. Comprehensive, common-sense immigration reform is a priority for House Democrats. The Equal Citizenship for Children Act amends the Child Citizenship Act (CCA) to keep families together and automatically provide citizenship to eligible individuals previously excluded by the CCA. I’m proud to join Congresswoman Clarke in introducing this bill and taking us one step closer to immigration reform that makes sense for everyone who lives in our country. https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/reps-adams-clarke-introduce-legislation-grant-citizenship-individuals

  2. Today is the fifth anniversary of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. It is yet another morning in our country after a mass shooting, this time at Michigan State University.

  3. When African slaves first came to the Americas, we experienced a cultural genocide. Countless lives were lost between the continents, carrying with them knowledge, traditions and culture. On plantations across the U.S., our history went unrecorded and our graves unmarked. Frederick Douglass, one of the most brilliant men in American history, did not know his birth date or birth year with certainty because he was born into slavery. #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.newsobserver.com/opinion/article272169698.html

  4. I am saddened to learn of the passing of Judge Shirley Fulton, a brilliant legal mind, trailblazer and gallant community pillar. She was always dedicated to public service throughout her extraordinary career. As an encouraging mentor and example of excellence, she made an indelible impact on so many people and left our state and nation much better than she found it. My prayers are extended to her family and friends. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/crime/article271688992.html

  7. Joint Statement by President Joe Biden, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Brazil: Canada, Mexico, and the United States condemn the January 8 attacks on Brazil’s democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power. We stand with Brazil as it safeguards its democratic institutions. Our governments support the free will of the people of Brazil. We look forward to working with President Lula on delivering for our countries, the Western Hemisphere, and beyond.
