Sixty-three years ago, four little girls were killed in a Birmingham church.
Yesterday I stood with faith leaders and colleagues at the Smithsonian to honor them and answer one call: Black history is American history.

Trump lied about mail voting for years while voting by mail himself.
This year he tried to make the lie law, using the Postal Service to block ballots. The Supreme Court said no, 7-2.
Your right to vote survived his attack. Now go use it in November.

When nurses speak up for patient safety, they deserve support, not suspensions.
My office stood with National Nurses United at Olympia Fields today in solidarity, because no nurse should be fired for advocating for the people in their care.

Great meeting with Costa Rica's Trade Minister Manuel Tovar Rivera and Ambassador Douglas Soto Campos as Costa Rica marks 205 years of independence.

Today we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders and everyday Americans who ran toward danger to help others.
We hold their families in our hearts and recommit ourselves to the unity this nation showed. We will never forget.

Secretary Mullin is fanning the flames of hatred and has no business running this department. Resign NOW!
Every person of conscience must speak up when our government degrades people like this. It’s vile, it’s racist, and it must stop.
How much longer will we allow this pattern of hatred?

The US Ambassador to the UN wants the UN to cut off the weapons fueling Sudan’s war.
Start at home: halt US arms sales to the countries arming the RSF. The bills exist. This administration opposed them.
Use the power we have to stop the killing!

I wholeheartedly welcome the UK’s ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestine territories.
Expansion, land seizures, and settler violence are fueling the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
International law must mean something, and accountability must apply to all.

Today we reflect on the contributions of the labor movement that organized, mobilized, and compelled federal and state institutions to confront unsafe, inequitable, and economically destabilizing conditions.

How much of what we call “fact” is just what we’ve been taught to see?
For generations, maps shrank Africa. Now the UN backs more accurate ones.
The vote: 164-1, with the US the lone no.
This is about accuracy and respect. America should lead in drawing a fair world, not resist it.

Sec. Hegseth gutted Civilian Harm Mitigation & Response because it was “woke.” EVERY SINGLE COMMANDER pushed back, but Hegseth went against our legal -& moral- imperative anyway. Since then, the US military has killed hundreds of civilians. Hegseth & Trump's illegal, reckless war on Iran must end.
