As the Senate debates its version of Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful, Bill”, I met with gun safety champions working with us to fight crime and protect families everywhere.

Like so many, our family was hurt by gun violence. It’s something no family should have to experience, but thousands do every year — just like Hadiya's. A safer future is possible and I’m thankful for everyone fighting for it this Gun Violence Awareness Day, especially Gabby.

Both Republicans and Democrats know that firearms shouldn’t be sold without a background check. That’s why I met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week — Congress must act now to keep silencers out of the wrong hands.

I am horrified and heartbroken by last night’s attack on two patriotic public servants—Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman. Melissa, John and their entire families are in my prayers today as we await more information. I hope law

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.

We live in a democracy with a wide range of opinions. We always have times when emotions are running hot and our leaders have a responsibility to bring the temperature back down. They also have a responsibility to ensure angry or inexplicably violent people do not have such easy

The vast majority of Americans support commonsense gun laws. Now is the time for Republicans and Democrats to come together and protect our kids. We have the tools to stop gun violence. It’s up to our leaders to get it done.
