June 11, 2020 Tweet - "It says everything you need to know about President Trump's values that he can't even do the lightest of lifts to honor Harriet Tubman.

June 11, 2020 Tweet - "We are prepared to conclude another week of Senate business without any progress on COVID-19, without any commitment to pursue real police reform.

June 10, 2020 Tweet - "How small of a man do you have to be to slander a 75-year-old protester recovering in a hospital? This is what President Trump is doing.
