    Child abuse and maltreatment is a public health problem that has been exacerbated during the pandemic. Last month, I voted to pass the bipartisan Stronger Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to improve the quality of child protective services. https://t.co/UDxv9Rb4jO

    Why would I? As a nation we must confront the consequences of the heinous family separation policy, repair the damage, ensure we keep families together and just as importantly, demand accountability. Thanks for having me on the show, @Acosta. Looking forward to joining again! https://t.co/n8bwg72hWq

    Targeted mass shootings have caused indescribable pain, trauma, and grief in communities like El Paso. We can't allow senseless acts of violence to continue taking innocent lives. It's time to #EndGunViolence. https://t.co/dTxZGkhxHZ

    When mass shootings target a marginalized group, trauma ripples through those communities

    ‘It rips the scab right back off.’ Survivors of mass shootings in Charleston, Pittsburgh, El Paso and now Atlanta support one another as they grieve.

    Biden administration to launch massive funeral assistance program for covid victims

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency has reimbursed for burial costs before, but it has never offered as large a payment — up to $9,000 — to so many people.
