Today, George Floyd would have celebrated his 47th birthday a day after early voting begins in Texas. #GeorgeFloyd death sparked a national outcry for police reform, and he was honored with a new mural in Houston's historic Third Ward - one that holds a deep meaning. #ThirdWard https://t.co/j9nqBcRv1v
My deepest sympathy to his wife, my dear friend, Lenora Sorola-Pohlman and his wonderful family; our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace. 2/2
We mourned the passing of Sgt. John Pohlman. Sgt. Pohlman served the Houston community for 47 years as a member of the Houston Police Department. In his life and service in this community, he was always willing to help all and anyone. And he was a kind and gentle man. 1/2 https://t.co/MNipWVTehj
1/2 It is incredibly disturbing that President Trump has turned his back on the American people by closing negotiations for the Heroes Act. They desperately need resources to protect against food insecurity, unemployment, small business closures, and to provide healthcare
2/2 and more testing. COVID-19 deaths are all still a glaring fact. The American people need a lifeline. They cannot wait until after the election, nor can they entertain Trump's new half-hearted offer. Pass the complete Heroes Act now!

The history of the United States is intertwined with the history of enslaved Africans in the Americas. There is blood and there are tears, but there is also redemption and reconciliation.

1/2 I was stunned at the President's inability to acknowledge what his FBI Director and Acting DHS Secretary have acknowledged. That is, white supremacy is the most significant domestic terrorist threat. Not only did the President disregard the threat of white supremacist, he

1/ Confirming that I am sending this one. I am disappointed that the top legal officer of the United States, the Attorney General who leads the Department of Justice, would demean hardworking lawyers and support staff in that department and indicate that their research and hard

Yesterday, I presided over the House floor when they were debating H.R. 5664—— Leveraging Information on Foreign Traffickers Act. I served as Speaker Pro Tempore. This bill tracks my longstanding fight against the scourge of human trafficking. https://t.co/knZC6P9mIl
I know the pain that you are feeling; I have felt this pain as well. We are not going to stop until we get a just resolve, but I beg of you to engage in non-violent protests.

The Louisville KY Breonna Taylor settlement and police reform dialogue is a step in the right direction. Breonna’s death was an unnecessary act of violence and the world responded. She had so much to offer in life as a First Responder. My deepest sympathy is with her family.
