It’s time to end legacy admissions. Each year thousands of students are admitted to colleges around the nation only because their parents went there. Legacy admissions are back-door discriminatory policies that overwhelmingly advantage wealthy, white students over everyone else.

Earlier this year, Congressman Jimmy Gomez and I joined other dads to launch the Congressional Dads Caucus to push for progress on issues like paid leave and affordable childcare. The challenges families face aren't red or blue — and Congress has to come together and get things done. Happy Father's Day to all dads and families!

I’ll be joining Yasmin Vossoughian on MSNBC around 3 pm ET / 2 pm CT to talk about Republican support for Donald Trump in the face of his second indictment — even as the charging documents show how he prioritized his own power over the safety of our country.

January 6th was a call from Donald Trump asking Americans who support him to take action into their own hands - including violence - and his language since then has become even more inflammatory.

When I was an impeachment manager, I argued that Trump incited an insurrection that gave our foreign enemies unprecedented exposure to the halls of Congress. Again and again, his crimes put our national security at risk. Nobody — not even a former President — is above the law.

Today's surprise Supreme Court decision to throw out Alabama's discriminatory Congressional map is a win for democracy against voter suppression — but without Congressional action, voting rights will remain under attack. We need to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act now.

Governor DeSantis used fraud and deception to lure vulnerable people from San Antonio and dump them in a remote island community that scrambled to care for them. This was human trafficking — and the people who perpetrated this crime must be held responsible. https://twitter.com/expressnews/status/1665858467066773504?s=46&t=RrTdgWVyUuGmDb_-f7lRdQ

We know how to stop mass shootings. We know assault weapons bans, background checks, and a higher age for gun purchases will save lives. The teachers and children who died can't change the law, but we can honor their memories if we have the courage to act. #EndGunViolence

Over the last year, those same Uvalde families have held back tears in our committee rooms as they begged Congress and the Texas state legislature to end our gun violence epidemic.
