Suspect dead after 8 children killed in Louisiana shooting The suspect, who is related to some of the children, was killed after a vehicle chase, according to police. The slain children were between 1 and 14 years old.

Absolutely sickening. Who are we as a nation if we don’t enact laws to protect our children?

This Black Maternal Health Week, we continue to raise awareness of the crisis facing mothers and babies. In Georgia, women of color are still far more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. We must keep improving access to care and accountability that protects every family.

Secretary RFK Jr. has spent more time regulating fluoride than addressing the gun violence epidemic. Guns are the leading cause of death for our kids and certainly pose more of a threat than fluoride. The American people deserve better from their leaders.

On Yom HaShoah, we honor the memories of those who lost their lives during the horrors of the Holocaust. We stand with the survivors and their families, and recommit ourselves to confronting antisemitism and hatred in all its forms. May we never forget.

While the American people deal with rising costs of all goods, one would hope that cooler heads prevail towards peaceful negotiations to bring this war of Trump’s making to an end.

This President must move forward with diplomacy, not with remarks of violence and destruction.

The eyes of the world are on the United States in this critical moment.

Trump signs order directing creation of a national voter list, a move already facing lawsuit threats President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to tighten voting rules by creating a national list of eligible voters and limiting mail ballots.

Instead of focusing on making life safer and more affordable for the American people, Trump wants to make it harder to vote before this election.

This is a direct threat to the democratic process our nation is founded upon and a blatant attempt at suppressing our votes.

Equal Pay Day is a reminder of how far we have to go and why we won’t stop fighting. That’s why I join my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues in championing the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure all women are paid fairly for all the work they do.

March 26 is Equal Pay Day, the point in 2026 when women finally catch up to what men earned in 2025. For the second straight year, the pay gap has widened. Women working full-time earn just 81 cents for every dollar men earn and even less for many women of color.

Five years after the Atlanta spa shootings, our city still carries the grief of the eight lives stolen in an act of anti-Asian hate.

That tragedy shook our community and left lasting pain for the loved ones and neighbors who continue to mourn.

Today, I pressed Secretary Kristi Noem on the unlawful and inhumane detention of people like Rodney Taylor at Georgia’s Stewart Immigration Center. She promised answers, but families deserve transparency and accountability now. No one should be held in deplorable conditions. youtu.be/xpRbjPXHrzc

As the world witnesses events unfolding in Iran, my heart is with the men and women who swore an oath to serve our country.

The power to declare war rests with Congress. The President must be held to account and explain why his Administration took the actions it did.
