One of the greatest injustices in Virginia History! 12 People mass-murdered in #VirginiaBeach, & the priority is paying to fix the BUILDING in which they were killed rather than the lives of these shattered families?? Families = $136,000 & lifetime pain Building = $26 MILLION?

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.

On the anniversary of the Pulse shooting, we pause to remember those we lost. Anti-LGBT rhetoric has terrible consequences, and the way we speak about and make room for everyone to be their full selves matters. I stand with LGBT folks and with commonsense gun safety bills, too.

Today marks five years of the tragic shooting in Virginia Beach that left twelve people dead and four injured. I keep the victims and their families in my heart as I continue to push for stronger gun safety legislation in the Senate.
