1 yr ago, Sonya Massey’s life was taken. Today, we honor her by turning pain into policy. Sen. Doris Turner & I passed SB1953 to reform the broken process that failed her. We listened to her family, stood with them, and carried their call for justice. Rest in power #SonyaMassey

SCOTUS just told fed judges they can’t protect everyone. So much for co-equal branches. The executive can sign orders for the whole country. Congress can pass laws for the whole country. But now the judiciary can only protect a few plaintiffs at a time. That’s not checks and.

Joined Sen. DeWitte & the legendary Jacky Grimshaw at City Club to talk transit. Hard truths, creative solutions, & unfinished business. Riders don’t care about acronyms; they care about outcomes… in a regional system that works and is funded. We will deliver that.

The attacks in Minnesota are horrifying. Speaker Emerita Hortman and her husband were killed in their home. Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot. This kind of political violence shakes the foundation of our democracy. I was fortunate to know Melissa; to witness her.

Congrats to @MikieSherrill. In Nov. voters will choose between a leader who stands up to the oligarch-first agenda or a rubber stamp for chaos. NJ families need a leader who’ll fight for them; not someone pushing higher costs & billionaire tax breaks. The choice is clear.

Officer Krystal Rivera is a hero and all she wanted was to protect her city & make it home safe after her shift. She gave her life doing what she swore to do. This is one of those moments where politicians should talk less; we should just listen, mourn & stand with those who.

Kicked off Blues Fest right w/soul, & a lot of love for Chicago. Grateful for the incredible crowd & the leaders who showed up & my friends @Giannoulias & @JulianaStratton for hosting. Smiley Tillmon brought the sound & the city where the blues found its voice brought the vibe.

We ended the spring session tonight without passing a fix for the transit fiscal cliff. That’s disappointing. But I’m not discouraged and we are definitely not done. The crisis is still here. The buses and trains still need to run. And so do the lives of the people who depend on.
