It has been 7 years since tragedy struck Mother Emanuel AME & my hometown. Since that fateful day, our community has showed America what grace and healing look like.
Today, we remember the nine brothers and sisters of the Emanuel AME church family:

Two years ago, I introduced the JUSTICE Act—which would’ve provided long-term solutions focused on police reform, accountability/transparency, and rebuilding lost trust between communities of color and law enforcement.
America deserves these sort of commonsense solutions.

New evidence suggests Big Tech companies are filtering out Republican campaign materials, putting free speech—a core tenant of our democracy—at risk once again.
I'm working to ensure Americans have the final say in what they view online.

I would not be where I am today without the blessing of a strong education. That’s why I’m proud to introduce this legislation with @SenBillCassidy to offer education freedom to millions of families.

When you give parents a choice, you give kids a better chance at achieving their dreams.
I'm proud to sponsor this bill with @SenBillCassidy that could change the lives of millions of high-potential students who deserve every opportunity to succeed.

My mother worked hard as a nursing assistant for 30 years. I will always be thankful for nursing assistants today and every day.

I am honored to receive the inaugural Joseph Rainey Empowered Leadership Award from the @RaineyCenter! The icing on the cake was presenting the Civic Excellence Award to my friend @Shay_Hawkins_OH!

Economists believe the Biden administration’s economic forecasts have been “too optimistic.”
Inflation is at a historic 40-year high and the country is on the brink of a recession, yet this administration has no plan to lower prices.

Inflation hit another high last month, meaning gas, grocery, and energy prices continued to rise. This is the biggest price jump in more than four decades!

Families across America feel the consequences of the Biden administration’s failed economic policies and reckless spending.

Enjoyed meeting with the @NFL this week during their visit to Capitol Hill. I spoke about the critical impact #OpportunityZones have had on low-income neighborhoods across the country and how we can further drive economic opportunities for all Americans.

While brutal dictators commit human rights violations with impunity across the globe, the UN Human Rights Council is unjustly targeting Israel—the Middle East's only democracy.
@SenJackyRosen & I are working to stop the discriminatory UNHRC investigation.

S.C. is home to around 200 skilled nursing facilities that serve thousands of individuals in their golden years. At no cost to taxpayers, my bill w/ @MarkWarner will help ensure facilities hire the best candidates, improving the quality of seniors' care.
