Today’s SCOTUS decision is an attack on equal representation, with devastating and far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond congressional maps. The Voting Rights Act is a fundamental promise of fair representation.

As a former U.S. Attorney, I’m ashamed & embarrassed by the Comey indictment, an even more disgraceful & degrading injustice than the first.

Donald Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court just took a sledgehammer to one of the most important civil rights laws in American history. This decision is yet another brazen power grab to diminish Americans’ right to vote. Congress must respond to protect our democracy.

Today's SCOTUS ruling doesn't uphold the law, it destroys it. The ultra-right-wing, captured Supreme Court has sacrificed Black and Brown votes to gift Republicans more seats in Congress that they're incapable of winning at the polls. This is a huge blow to our democracy and to racial justice.

Is slavery a partisan ideology? It's a yes or no question. But Sec. Burgum would not answer. He refused to answer in a Senate hearing, yet has happily used "partisan ideology" as a pretext to scrub the history of slavery from our national parks. Unacceptable.

Today, the right-wing Supreme Court supermajority finished what it started over a decade ago – in Justice Kagan’s words, “a judicial project to destroy the Voting Rights Act.”

Restricting your ability to decide who represents you goes against American values. We need to protect the right to vote, not take it away.

When Colorado faced historic flooding and wildfires, President Trump denied disaster relief to our communities. Disasters don’t care about state lines or politics — and neither should our President’s emergency response.

Justice Kagan put it best: “Under the Court’s new view … a State can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power.” This ruling amounts to a, “demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” A shameful day.

Organizations like the Rescue Mission of Trenton are transforming lives and providing critical services to unhoused populations. I visited them to learn about their work and hear what challenges they face. We must continue to invest in care for every single New Jerseyan.

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

Today the Supreme Court struck down protections that Civil Rights leaders marched and died for. Pretending this country no longer needs them is dangerous. This is a power grab. And we must fight back.

The Supreme Court just turned its back on one of the most sacred promises in American democracy—the promise that every voice counts. My statement on the Supreme Court's decision dealing a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act:

Trump’s Supreme Court has gutted the protections that Dr. King marched for. The protections made possible by civil rights protestors who spilled blood in pursuit of a more perfect union. This is a devastating and profound step backwards for American Democracy.

I’m deeply disturbed by this antisemitic act of hate targeting Congregation Beth Israel in Austin, Texas. This is a hate crime meant to intimidate and silence the local Jewish community. But it won't work. 🧵

This morning’s Supreme Court ruling only further underscores the urgent need for Congress to protect and expand voting rights. We still need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.

Affordable and reliable internet is a necessity, but for many families, the cost is just too high. I introduced the Promoting Access to Broadband Act to increase awareness and enrollment in the FCC’s Lifeline program, giving more Americans access to the internet.

This Court ruling weakens protections against discrimination & undermines fair representation. As Justice Kagan said, it marks the “majority’s now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” We must keep fighting so every American has a voice in our democracy.

Generations of Americans marched, served, protested, and died for the promise of our democracy. Today, the Supreme Court continues its steady march to forget that sacrifice and undo that promise.

This is yet another ruling that weakens voting rights for all Americans. The Voting Rights Act has suffered death by a thousand cuts. We must stand up in Congress to restore voting rights and ensure everyone's voice is heard in our elections.

Lady Liberty is crying. Trump is doubling down on his global apartheid policy, refusing entry to real, vetted refugees. Instead, he is using fake claims of “genocide” to admit white South African "refugees." Since October, they make up 99.93% of refugees admitted to the US.

Congress is creating a national school vouchers program. Arizona already tried that, and it took money out of public schools and spent it on luxury goods instead of kids’ education. Swipe to see what happened — and what I'm doing to stop it.

FISA Section 702 is supposed to be for gathering intelligence on foreigners located abroad. But it has been used and abused for spying on Americans right here at home—including protesters, journalists, and even women on dating apps and rental tenants. Reform 702 now.

Trump’s DOD is squandering an opportunity & obligation. Freezing aid directed by Congress is illegal, & morally reprehensible. Hegseth should be called to account in Congressional hearings today & tomorrow.

Trump wants to cut a quarter billion dollars for worker protection programs that help keep you safe on the job. He already gave billionaire CEOs a tax cut—now he wants to sacrifice your health to them too.

Businesses in New Hampshire rely on Canadian tourism, yet the Trump Administration's actions are pushing visitors away—costing Granite Staters money. Last week, I made sure Secretary Lutnick knew how his childish insults are hurting my constituents. www.wmur.com/article/jean...

From reversing their stance on the pesticide RoundUp after meeting with its CEO, to appointing a Chevron & Big Tobacco lobbyist as a senior health official — this administration doesn't have a "Make America Healthy Again" agenda - it has a "Make Corporate Donors Richer" agenda.

On April 1st, Speaker Johnson vowed to fund DHS "in the coming days." Must have been an April Fools’ joke because INSTEAD, Johnson has extended the shutdown for FOUR WEEKS and counting. So if Speaker Johnson is looking for someone to blame for the shutdown, get him a mirror.

We held the line against Trump’s voter suppression bill. Now we’re fighting to block his illegal executive order targeting mail-in and absentee ballots. Stripping Coloradans of access to vote-by-mail is a desperate attempt to silence voices and undermine our gold standard elections system.
