  • Looking forward to being back in Nevada this week! Join us in Reno and Carson City on Thursday, Las Vegas and Henderson on Friday.
  • On Earth Day and each day following, let’s organize an historic effort to free this country from a dependence on greenhouse gas emissions, invest in the technology and renewable energy jobs that speed the transition, and reassert our global leadership before it’s too late.
  • Fortunate to have Lauren and Tyler leading the way on the ground in South Carolina as we continue to meet with, listen to, and learn from everyone across the state.
  • Our justice system is not just. We must confront the true legacy of slavery, segregation, and suppression -- of how people have been criminalized and kept down based on their race and ethnicity. Here are some steps we will take:
  • Don’t need to wait until tomorrow on this. The law is wrong. It must be overturned. And we must enact a new Voting Rights Act so every person is able to cast their vote, have their voice heard, fully participate in our democracy.
  • These acts of terror against Christians in Sri Lanka are unspeakably tragic. Our hearts are with the victims and their families. We owe them our commitment to making our world a place where no family lives in fear of persecution because of how they worship.
  • Wishing you a very happy Easter Sunday.
  • 20 years after Columbine, we must follow the lead of the students marching for our lives and the moms demanding action. We will adopt universal background checks and ensure weapons of war are kept on the battlefield and are no longer sold into our communities.
  • “O’Rourke said the influence of money can be seen in the criminal justice system, because people are jailed for using non-addictive drugs like marijuana, but Purdue Pharma executives who had a hand in marketing dangerous opioids are not serving jail time.”
