Thank you to @RepPressley for her leadership and to every organizer & impacted person pushing for an affirmative public safety agenda. This breakthrough is a testament to our relentless work. Together, we’ll keep pushing to end the racist & flawed death penalty nationwide.

Thank you, @POTUS. The decision to commute the sentences of 37 people on federal death row, including Billie Jerome Allen of St. Louis, is historic. From day one, we’ve pushed for the commutation of these sentences & an end to the death penalty. Today’s action has saved lives.
BREAKING: President Joe Biden announced he is commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, converting their punishments to life imprisonment mere weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

@AmerenMissouri Everyone should have the right to affordable electricity, which is why @RepRashida, @RepBowman, & I introduced the Utilities as a Human Right Resolution. We can’t allow for-profit companies to charge exorbitant prices for the services that we all need to live.

Today, I voted to avert a government shutdown to protect families in Missouri’s First District. Government funding should have been resolved on Wednesday. Instead Republicans—and Donald Trump—are letting Elon Musk drag our democracy around. Shameful.

The law is clear: no nation blocking U.S. humanitarian aid can receive U.S. weapons. Proud to join @RepCasar & @RepSummerLee in urging the Biden Admin to withhold offensive weapons from the Israeli government.
Today, I'm leading 20 Members of Congress to demand that the Biden Admin withhold offensive weapons from the Israeli military. U.S. law is clear: if the Netanyahu government does not allow sufficient food & medicine to enter Gaza, then the U.S. cannot send weapons.
