My statement on the vile and bigoted post from the College Republicans at the University of Illinois. Such a message has no place in our society.

There is no badge, no title, no mask that puts anyone above the Constitution.

This law sends the message that if you abuse your authority, there are consequences.

Our rights follow us into the courthouse, onto campus, at the hospital and when taking our kids to daycare.

As we gather with friends and family this holiday season, please remember that we can have differing opinions and views without being disagreeable and disrespectful. Threats or violence are not solutions.

Congratulations to these local schools!

Today I’m thinking of the thousands who lost their lives 24 years ago, and remembering how Americans helped each other cope, recover and grieve. We will forever remember the courageous first responders and everyday Americans who lost their lives on 9/11.

Today marks the beginning of Black Maternal Health Week.
This week serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address racial disparities in maternal health outcomes.
Every mother should be able to confidently bring new life into the world.
