Senator @ChrisCoons argues in @theatlantic that we need to let “Americans for whom religion is central to their lives know that we understand them, respect them, and in many cases share their religious backgrounds.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

"Democrats should remember that while we’re a party committed to progressive values, we’re also a party that’s inspired and driven by many people of faith," argues @ChrisCoons. "We’re at our best when we remember that those aren’t facts to be reconciled." on.theatln.tc/h0sqmK6

This is not what American leadership looks like.

This weekend, as the Sudanese people take to the streets to continue to demand democracy, I urge security forces to refrain from violence & protect the rights & fundamental freedoms of peaceful protestors, unarmed civilians, & journalists. My statement: bit.ly/2ZTJx3H

Recent events in #Sudan represent a long pattern of human rights abuses perpetrated against unarmed civilians. Since December 2018, the Rapid Support Forces and other security forces have killed over 100 peaceful protestors. This is unacceptable.

I urge the TMC to adhere to the June 30 deadline set by the African Union to turn over power, and I call on regional players, including the Gulf States, to support the mediation efforts led by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to move toward a democratic transition.

I stand in solidarity with the Sudanese people & their peaceful protest movement to demand a representative democracy in #Sudan. After the ouster of Omar al-Bashir on April 11, it is long past time for the Transitional Military Council to cede power to a civilian-led government.

The Americans who stood up for their rights at the Stonewall Inn 50 years ago knew that every single American deserves the same respect & rights. We’ve come so far in advancing the rights of LGBTQ Americans, but we have more work to do, and I’m committed to keeping up the fight. pic.twitter.com/VmKavLMYYT

Russia is our adversary, they’ve attacked our elections, and they’re going to try to do it again unless we stop them. This isn’t a joke, even if President Trump thinks it is.

As we commemorate this important anniversary, we should be proud of the steps we have taken to strive for equality, but we also need to acknowledge that we have a lot of work left to do #Stonewall50 #Pride

The Equality Act, which would strengthen civil rights protections for #LGBTQ people across the country, passed the House but hasn’t made it to the Senate floor.

The Supreme Court will decide whether the Civil Rights Act protects #LGBTQ employees from being fired from their jobs just for being who they are.

In the last year, transgender Americans’ right to serve in the United States military has been challenged.
The Trump Administration weakened regulations that protect #LGBTQ Americans from housing discrimination.

50 years ago, the #StonewallRiots marked a milestone in the march toward #LGBTQ rights. In the spirit of activists like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, it’s worth looking at some of battles we still have to fight for full LGBTQ equality #Pride #Stonewall50

Proud to join my colleagues in sponsoring another piece of clean energy legislation. The Incentivizing Offshore Wind Power Act has potential to improve energy production, lower energy costs, and create jobs. Looking forward to seeing this bill become law. bit.ly/2XbUnW0 pic.twitter.com/mZ108clM01

Here’s what’s clear to me: some of the best of our traditions—welcoming those fleeing violence and persecution—are being turned on their head. We are better than this.

Second, as violence and chaos are increasing in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, the Administration is cutting all humanitarian aid to those same countries, forcing parents to risk their lives and their children’s lives to make the dangerous journey to the US.

Here’s what’s going on. First, government lawyers are arguing that safe and sanitary conditions for children in our government's custody don't include things like beds, soap, and toothbrushes. pic.twitter.com/5Q57X7pGQU

The bill also gives new tools to @CommerceGov to support manufacturing workforce development and cybersecurity training. And it promotes the creation of new institutes, so that new technologies developed in America are also commercialized and manufactured in America.
