07/20/2022 Tweet - "10 years ago today, the Aurora shooting shattered a community & claimed 12 lives. Similar tragedies have been far too common. @HouseDemocrats continue to fight for common-sense gun violence prevention measures, including with today's @HouseJudiciary #AssaultWeaponsBan markup."
07/19/2022 Tweet - "In a concurrent opinion ripping away women's right to choose, Justice Thomas outlined next steps--including ending marriage equality.

07/18/2022 Tweet - "Closing the coverage gap is the single most important step we can take on the path to making health care affordable and accessible for all Americans. The House has already voted to close it. As the Senate finalizes a reconciliation bill, this must get done."
