  2. Replacing our federal workforce with Trump loyalists would be disastrous for our economy, anyone who believes the government should work well, and for those who lose their jobs.

  5. 15 years ago today, President Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law, expanding critical protections for Americans. Everyone – regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or disability – deserves safety, dignity, and justice.

  6. 3D-printed guns can be obtained, mass-produced, and distributed without the need for background checks – all that's required are the printing blueprints. Good to see the Biden-Harris Administration taking significant action to address this growing danger. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-26/biden-harris-take-steps-to-impede-illegal-firearm-devices

  7. Nearly 1 in 5 small business owners and self-employed workers depended on the ACA for coverage in 2022. Donald Trump’s “concepts of a plan” to repeal the ACA would take entrepreneurs back to a time of limited, unaffordable coverage. We can't go back. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rhettbuttle/2024/09/25/before--after-how-the-aca-is-a-step-forward-for-small-businesses/

  8. I’m relieved that the House just passed a short-term funding bill. Once again, House Democrats provided the lion’s share of votes to avert an economically disastrous shutdown and keep our government running. 82 Republicans voted against it. The bill now heads to the Senate:

  10. This is the horrifying, dangerous result of Donald Trump and JD Vance’s campaign to secure an anti-choice Supreme Court majority. We must pass the Women's Health Protection Act to codify the protections of Roe v Wade. No woman’s life should depend on what state she lives in. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death
