My son, Dylan, was shot at least 5 times in his classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary. He died at just 6 years old. Yet in the years since, not nearly enough has been done to save lives like Dylan’s. Sign our petition demanding action to prevent school shootings. -Nicole

.@KamalaHarris is a leading advocate for reproductive rights—and I'll fight alongside her to enact her proposal requiring federal preclearance when state and local governments with a history of violating Roe v. Wade try to restrict reproductive rights. elizabethwarren.com/plans/pr…

We've seen a record number of women in this primary. That has meant that together, we've been able to shape the national conversation to highlight issues impacting people in America. But as billionaires buy their way into the race, some of my colleagues have been pushed out.

GOP lobbyist close to the White House just told me Trump doesn’t plan on doing anything to respond to the Parkland mass shooting. No new laws. No new safety regulations. No machine gun ban. Not one thing that will prevent it from happening again. He doesn’t care about us. Period.

On social media, and on live television, the victims of the Parkland shooting were not playing their parts. They were not asking for privacy in their time of grief. They did not think it was “too soon” to bring up the issue of gun control. nyer.cm/9EW5GlW

Thanks to the bravery of the Parkland shooting survivors, @NRA-sponsored politicians are finally being seen as toxic. As Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg put it on CNN, “If you can’t get elected without taking money from child murderers, why are you running?”

By ending DACA, @realdonaldtrump subjected 800k Dreamers to deportation. Now he wants to hold them hostage to Steven Miller’s anti-immigrant wish list. It’s insulting. We already have a bipartisan solution to the Trump-created crisis: it’s called the Dream Act. #DreamActNow

There is something profoundly wrong when we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a right. #MedicareForAll

First, the Trump Admin ended Temporary Protected Status for 2,500 Nicaraguans. Then, nearly 60,000 Haitians. Today, @realdonaldtrump crossed another item off his anti-immigrant agenda by terminating TPS for 200,000 Salvadorans.

We need to get our priorities right. Not giving tax breaks to billionaires. Not throwing millions of people off of health insurance. We have got to pay attention to the working families of the this country.

Today marks 100 days since Congress let the Children’s Health Insurance Program expire.
Let me say that again: health care for 9 million children has hung in the balance for 100 days.
We must do better than this.

You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. xitter.cf/realdonaldtrump/status…

A disaster. A joke. A lie. Here's how these millionaires describe the fraudulent trickle-down economic theory:

As a member of the tax conference committee, I will do everything I can to defeat this bill. We need to rebuild the disappearing middle class, not provide more tax breaks to billionaires.

The future of 800k Dreamers hangs in the balance. Millions of kids at risk of losing their health insurance. Pass a clean Dream Act. Reauthorize CHIP. Let’s quit kicking the can down the road. #DreamActNow
