They took my words down and tried to silence me for telling the truth. Donald Trump is a grifter. Donald Trump has used his public office to make money. Yet they want to focus on cutting healthcare for children that live in poverty.

Yesterday, I was invited by NOAA to be an observer on a Hurricane Hunters mission into Hurricane Milton. During the 8 hour flight, we penetrated the eye 3 times. It was an extremely intense & educational experience.

This powerful storm deserves serious attention from everyone. Image


The scientists and meteorologists collect data and research throughout the mission. This is analyzed by the scientists on board and subsequently sent to the National Hurricane Center, aiding in the creation of predictions and storm tracks that play a vital role in saving lives.
The turbulence during our flight was extremely intense, and at one point, we fell several thousand feet, which underscored the storm's ferocity. Please ensure that you are prepared and follow the instructions of your local officials.

The appropriations bill that we just voted on has a lot of good in it. Some might be wondering why I voted NO. It’s quite simple..

Tucked away in this bill is the greatest rollback of the background check system since it was created.
This rollback would allow veterans that have been deemed by the Veterans Administration to be mentally incompetent to buy guns.

These are folks that the VA no longer trusts to manager their own benefits. Veterans who are also unfortunately, at a high risk of suicide.
20,000 people are added to this list every year, & with this roll back, they’ll be clear to buy a gun. I consider this a poison pill that will result in more gun violence.

Gun Violence Prevention is not just a priority issue, it’s what got me involved in politics at 15 yrs old.

Antisemitism is a serious and real problem across the country. Yesterday the House voted on a resolution that included important sentiments condemning antisemitism on campuses, but Republicans added falsehoods & inaccuracies that push unhelpful misinformation.
It very much deviated from the bipartisan Rosen-Blackburn resolution condemning campus antisemitism which passed the Senate unanimously last week. I am supporting the bipartisan Kustoff-Wasserman Schultz resolution which contains that exact same language.
The vote at Brandeis mentioned was about procedure, & the student union, an umbrella organization that includes the student senate, released a statement condemning Hamas. The resolution unfairly cites Jewish students who have actively opposed Hamas as perpetrators of antisemitism

An area that the Japanese have really led on is public transportation. We got to tour the Bullet Train (Shinkansen)! I’m a huge rail stan and the entire operation blew my mind.
You literally have trains traveling extremely far distances dispatching every 5-15 minutes.

The average delay last year for the entire system was 0.9 minutes. Yes, under a minute.
During our roundtable, I asked a question about the construction of the bullet trains regarding other forms of public transit. These trains were built to connect people to multiple modes of public transportation.

Doesn't matter what color those police officers are. The murder of Tyre Nichols is anti-Black and the result of a system built on white supremacy. 🧵
Diversity in police ranks has not solved the crisis of policing where Black people are the prime targets of brutality and incarceration.
They’re more likely to be arrested and jailed for the same crimes committed by white people. They’re more likely to be convicted for a crime. They have longer jail sentences. And they’re far less likely to get parole - all for the same crimes committed as white people.

Ten years ago today, 26 students and teachers were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I found out right before my Jazz band concert that night and couldn’t play right, because I kept looking over my shoulder, scared that the same thing was going to happen to all of us.
When I got home, I started reaching out to the survivors and family members on Facebook asking how I could help and what I could do. Days later I flew up to DC for the memorial, vigil, and to lobby members of Congress to take action to save lives.
That night I was at a hotel pool with some of the survivors. One of them was Matthew Soto, whose sister Vicki was a teacher. When she heard gunshots, she hid all her students in the closet and was later killed. Seeing Matthew talk about his sister, changed my life.
