05/25/2022 Tweet - "Here's what I'm doing immediately to take steps towards curbing violence and extremism: I'll vote YES on the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act tomorrow. I'm supporting a nominee to the @ATFHQ that has a history of supporting provisions like universal background checks."

03/16/2022 Tweet - "Russia has tremendous capacity to wreak havoc through cyber attacks on Ukraine or even directly on the United States. I'm frankly surprised we haven't seen more from them in this sphere, and I'm fighting for stronger cyber defense policy for the US."

03/07/2022 Tweet - "Long before Russia began its unwarranted invasion, I was raising the alarm about cyber attacks. Last week, we got a major piece of legislation through the Senate to increase transparency in the case of a cyber attack."
03/04/2022 Tweet - "Glad to see support from The White House on this bill -- it's a critical step towards strengthening our cyber defenses against Russia. The House needs to get this done as soon as possible."
