Dismayed and outraged by the House leadership's disgraceful petty partisan politics in failing to approve the Senate's bipartisan Sandy aid

I’m joining & others to reduce gun violence in our country, we must control the sale & registration of assault rifles

The ’s statement is sadly & shamefully inadequate – calling for more guns & rejecting real action against gun violence

As the lays its sons & daughters to rest, all of America’s hearts & thoughts go out to them. We grieve & heal as one

In a few minutes, I will speak on Senate floor about the shooting & gun violence in America. Watch here:

The Senate will open at 2 p.m. with a moment of silence to honor victims and families.

Please call 211 or 1-800-203-1234 to offer voluntary assistance in the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

We've compiled some resources for parents & children in the aftermath of the terrible tragedy in today

My thoughts & prayers are with the Sandy Hook Elementary & community on this tragic day. Hoping for safety of students & teachers
