We mourn the loss of four American service members. Behind every headline is a family forever changed. May we honor their sacrifice by remembering that decisions about war carry profound consequences - for our troops, their families, and our nation.  www.kshb.com/world/middle...
The story of Black America is one of struggle and protest, triumph and resolve. In it, there is something for everyone to learn. To help preserve this history, this month I proudly cosponsored the National Council on African American History and Culture Act of 2026.
As Black History Month nears its conclusion, let us reflect on the importance of studying and understanding the past. History serves as a source of inspiration, fosters empathy, and provides us with a roadmap during uncertain times.
Since its founding in 1920, the American Civil Liberties Union has been the premier defender of our Constitutional rights, from freedom of speech to the right to reproductive healthcare. I take immense pride in earning a perfect 100% on the latest scoreboard from the ACLU.
Rather than obtaining a judicial warrant, ICE lied about a missing child in order to gain access to a university-owned residential building. These kinds of tactics spread distrust of law enforcement and make it harder to solve crimes.
Ellie Aghayeva – a Columbia University student who was detained early Thursday after the university said federal immigration agents allegedly used false pretenses to enter a campus residential building – has been released, she confirmed on her Instagram account.
Proud to announce that I earned a perfect 100% score from the League of Conservation Voters for the year 2025! While environmental protections come under attack, I will continue to stand up for renewable energy, clean air and water, and meaningful strategies to combat climate change.
Believing in the safety and effectiveness of time-tested vaccines should be a basic requirement for anyone nominated to serve as Surgeon General of the United States. Casey Means fails this test. Being unqualified may be the one and only qualification for serving in the Trump Administration.
Some questions have a simple yes or no answer. But Trump’s nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Casey Means, wouldn’t give me a straight answer about whether or not the flu vaccine reduces deaths and hospitalizations—something HHS Secretary RFK, Jr. has denied. youtube.com/shorts/tbDE6...
The President's proposal to exert control over elections is a clear-as-day sign of desperation. Unconstitutional tactics like these are another reminder that this Administration has failed to deliver for the American people.
Exclusive: Pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, proposing a national emergency to expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines.
Ten FBI agents are without a job today because they chose to uphold their oath to the Constitution when the former President flagrantly violated federal law. Politically-motivated firings of FBI agents undermines the rule of law and our country's security.
Since the founding of the first YMCA on American soil nearly 175 years ago, the institution has promoted youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Happy to sit down for an episode of The Movement: A Podcast from the YMCA of Greater Kansas City! youtu.be/26u1GO7WJJA
Allowing for the year-round sale of E15 gas would lower prices at the pump, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support American farmers at a time when producing food has become an increasingly risky pursuit.
