Buffalo. El Paso. Poway. Pittsburgh. On and on. In every corner of our nation, communities are bonded in the trauma and devastation that follows violent acts of white supremacist terrorism. It's time we finally take action with the urgency these victims deserve and pass my #DTPA. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m grateful to the President for working with both the civil rights community and law enforcement to craft this measure. However, a set of policies will not erase generations of systemic racism. We all must continue to actively work to build a more just and equitable America. — PolitiTweet.org

The House did its job in 2020 and passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Unsurprisingly, Senate Republicans refused to join Democrats to pass meaningful police reform legislation. So today, President Biden took action and signed this important Executive Order. — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago, George Floyd died on the streets of Minneapolis with the knee of a police officer on his neck—an image that haunts me to this day. The injustice of his killing is undeniable. And so is the fact that systemic racism continues to plague America. — PolitiTweet.org

Straw-purchased guns are involved in the deaths of far too many Americans—including the murder of CPD Officer Ella French. Once confirmed, I look forward to working closely with Steven Dettelbach and @ATFHQ to crack down on the straw purchasing of firearms across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Today @JudiciaryDems is considering the nomination of Steve Dettelbach to lead @ATFHQ. The very least Republicans can do in the wake of another tragedy is work with Democrats to confirm this highly qualified nominee. ATF has been leaderless since 2015. That needs to change. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, 19 innocent children and 2 teachers were gunned down in an elementary school in Texas. I wish I could say something like this had never happened before. Or will never happen again. But I know better. And until the Republican Party decides to care, nothing will change. https://t.co/1uXMDo1N4Y — PolitiTweet.org

I implore – beg – my Republican colleagues to join Democrats in finally making changes to our gun laws to help prevent Americans from re-living this gun tragedy far too often. We cannot continue to sit on our hands and allow innocent lives to be lost. Congress must act. — PolitiTweet.org

The census recount should give pause to all of the critics who were so quick to peddle the Illinois desertion scenario. We have our challenges (ever read about the Chicago Fire?) but we need to face them honestly and not spread a tale of gloom and doom. https://t.co/2C0xa5mGSE — PolitiTweet.org
