    We cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. That’s why I joined my colleagues in calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Attorney General Barr.
    NEW: In less than 24 hours, more than 80 Representatives have joined me to call for a special prosecutor to investigate AG Barr for ordering Monday’s attack on peaceful protesters.

    The Trump Administration is trying to take us back to a time when it was legal to discriminate against Americans with pre-existing conditions. But we won't let that happen. That’s why I'm voting for the Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions Act. #ProtectOurCare

    Right now, @senatemajldr is blocking the progress of two practical pieces of legislation that would enhance our background check system. #EnoughIsEnough. He & other Republicans who are in the pocket of the NRA must answer: Whose side are you on?

    . @AjitPaiFCC denied my request to address the @FCC. He also denied my request, and the requests of members from both sides of the aisle, to speak with him before the #NetNeutrality vote tomorrow. Shutting out members of Congress is also shutting out the Americans we represent.

    Just sent a letter to @AjitPaiFCC, requesting to address the @FCC at Thursday's open meeting. #NetNeutrality is on the line, and I hope the Chairman will honor my request to speak before the Commission on behalf of all those who wish to maintain a free and #openinternet.

    The truth is the #ParisAccord isn’t controversial. 70% of Americans support it.

    Replying to @SenMcNerney
    To fulfill our sworn duty, Congress must move forward with an impeachment inquiry. Brazen lies have been a hallmark of this presidency and it is now time for a reckoning. 2/2

    The President of the United States incited an attempted coup and a violent attack on our nation’s capital. He must be removed from power immediately. I support impeachment and will take all necessary steps to ensure that America remains a free and democratic nation.
    NEW: I am circulating Articles of Impeachment that @RepTedLieu, @RepRaskin and I have prepared to remove the President from office following yesterday's attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    Veterans with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have constant pain & reduced cognitive function. I wrote the law to improve care for service members with TBIs & am disgusted the president would trivialize these severe injuries. Our troops deserve better.
