    Fentanyl not only harms those who use it, but it also poses a serious threat to our first responders should they be exposed. This legislation is another smart step to stop illicit fentanyl from being transported across our borders and into our communities.

    Ann Johnson & her husband came to DC from Madison, AL and stopped by last week. Ann has polycystic kidney disease. Like the other 1.9M Alabamians w/pre-existing conditions, she is worried about her coverage. I'll continue to fight for Ann and others like her.

    Had a great time at the last night—congrats to A&M and Southern on a game well played! Fun way to celebrate top-notch HBCUs through Alabama’s favorite sport.

    Thank you for your kind words today. The scale of the loss and heartbreak cancer inflicts is unlike any our species has known. We’ve already lost too many, and we’ll lose too many more before this is over. We must honor them by pushing the science as fast as we can.

    Thank you and your Senate co-sponsors for the introduction of the Strengthening Minority Serving Institutions Act (S. 3467). This permanent investment is critical for the of our historic institutions and future scholars.

    Alabama is home to 14 outstanding HBCUs – not just the most, but the best in the nation! Today I was honored to introduce legislation to increase funding for HBCUs and other minority-serving institutions. Hear more about my bill & why this is needed:

    I’ve successfully prosecuted 38-year-old crimes. It wasn’t easy, but it was the right thing to do to get justice for the victims. All I‘m asking for is a full, fair investigation. Let’s get to the truth, whatever it may be. We need to get this right. There’s too much at stake.

    We need to have a full investigation of the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh— including the testimony of Mark Judge. If he won’t testify, he needs to be subpoenaed.

    This was a very brave step to come forward. It is more important than ever to hit the pause button on Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote until we can fully investigate these serious and disturbing allegations. We cannot rush to move forward under this cloud.

    Speaking publicly for the first time, Christine Blasey Ford says one summer in the 1980s, Kavanaugh and a friend — both “stumbling drunk,” she alleges — corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County, Maryland

    Later this morning at the church, I'll be honoring their memory and talking about the need to come together as a community and as a country. We hear some of the same rhetoric today that was used in 1963. Words matter, folks. And we can never let something like this happen again.
