Pearl Harbor changed our country forever.
Today, I remember the 2,403 Americans who were killed 84 years ago and the veterans who chose to join the fight. Their courage reminds us what service to our country truly means.

Systemic racism is real.
Black women are still not heard in our hospitals. Mercedes Wells was sent home while she was in labor. That is unacceptable. I am introducing the WELLS Act to make sure Black moms get real care that protects their lives.

The 13th Amendment became law 160 years ago today and ended slavery in the United States.
