I am heartbroken to learn that a Capitol Police officer who was injured during the recent attacks on our U.S. Capitol has died. My deepest condolences go out to the officer’s family. The people responsible for these attacks must face justice. This must never happen again.

Today, we remember the lives taken 79 years ago at #PearlHarbor. And we remember the heroism and bravery of every American who answered the call to serve our nation during one of its darkest moments.

“We have to undo laws & systems that have codified racism for far too long.Each and every one of us. Challenge our own biases. Together, we can turn this reckoning into a reimagining of a nation where ‘We The People’ means all the people.” -@MichelleObama #DNC2020

Trump’s corporate payroll tax cut would give wealthy corporations like Walmart, AT&T, and Exxon Mobil billions of dollars in tax breaks. And critically, it wouldn’t do a thing for the millions of workers who have lost their jobs in Trump’s recession.
