    My dad struggled with alcoholism and I know the difference treatment made for him and my family. Everyone deserves that same chance. We must invest in addiction treatment and mental health care — and the pharmaceutical companies that caused this problem should pay for it.

    . is in Michigan today, a state where she holds a strong advantage over nearly the entire 2020 Democratic field in a Trump match up: Klobuchar v. Trump: 53%-47% via
  • Thank you to Virgie Rollins and Clarice Squillace for having me. And thank you to , , , and so many other Michigan women for your leadership.
  • What an inspirational day at the Democratic Women’s Caucus Legacy Luncheon in Detroit! These women are fearless leaders who are making progress — I was honored to be there.
     
  • Visited the in Ann Arbor Michigan w/ to discuss our bill to stop domestic abusers from getting guns. U.S. Senate needs to stand up to the NRA by passing the Violence Against Women Act and closing the boyfriend loophole now.
  • Great visit to Michigan! Thanks and the wonderful women leaders of Michigan
  • Thinking of my friend and her wonderful husband Joseph.  Note her life message: “more family, more friends, more music, less screens.”
  • Just one more reason to love Duluth! Duluth's 97-year-old hockey legend Mark Sertich keeps on skating.
  • These politicians in Alabama, Georgia, and across the country are using women as political pawns to overturn Roe v. Wade. If you care about families' rights to make their own decisions, this election could not be more important.
  • 30 states still lack comprehensive protections for LGBTQ people. The passage of the in the House of Representatives is a crucial step towards fixing that. The Senate should follow suit & make sure all Americans have the equality promised to them in the Constitution.
  • Election security is national security, and we need to get serious about protecting our electoral process. Otherwise, we will be vulnerable to a repeat of 2016. That’s why I introduced my Election Security Act with 37 cosponsors to defend against foreign interference
  • We are entering very dangerous territory with these attacks on reproductive rights. Republicans are setting up a fight at the Supreme Court to take away crucial access to women’s health care. We’ve got to keep fighting these attacks.

    Ask any Iowan what's most important this year, and they'll probably say health care. Push a bit further and they'll be specific: Access to mental health or addiction services. Good marks to for targeting both here.
  • The President's immigration proposal continues to fail DREAMers, does not address our refugees and asylum seekers and provides no path to citizenship. This plan is far from comprehensive — what we need is comprehensive immigration reform that moves our country & economy forward.
  • . nails it. Voter suppression is real, insidious and undermining our democracy. This has been a top priority for me in the Senate and will continue to be in the White House.
  • To the President/NSA Advisor Bolton/Sec. Pompeo: The authorization for the use of military force that Congress passed in 2001 against al-Qaeda DOES NOT AUTHORIZE a war against Iran. Saber-rattling & risking the lives of our men & women while eschewing diplomacy is not leadership.
