Today, I paid a visit to the hallowed ground of Yad Vashem where I had the distinct honor of meeting Dr. Gita Cycowicz and Ms. Rena Quint, two Holocaust survivors.
I vow to continue our shared, unending work to fight the poison of antisemitism wherever we find it in the world.

“Perhaps it’s time to reconsider the editorial practice of capitalizing the noun “Founders” in articles discussing the Constitution.” Such idolatry has no place in a vibrant constitutional republic. Democracy is for the living.

Shame on Twitter for not taking immediate action on learning that President Trump was mobilizing a mob of extremists on its platform. Per today's testimony, any other user would have been permanently banned.

The committee has learned that, on January 5th, there were serious concerns at Twitter about anticipated violence the next day.
"I had been begging... and attempting to raise the reality that... if we made no intervention into what I saw occurring, people were going to die."

Thrilled to hear the patient privacy piece of Biden's EO. The ability of extremist government to access patient data re: period tracking and/or pregnancy status is terrifying. Creeping into people's data to control them is not a theoretical and it needs to be prohibited.

Today I signed an Executive Order to protect the reproductive rights of women in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's extreme decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
It formalizes the actions I announced right after the decision and will add new measures to protect women's health.
