Six young lives snuffed out. Six immigrant children, dead on our watch.

The latest: a 10-year-old girl from El Salvador died in U.S. custody last year. It was unreported until now.

The heart of this shame, this national tragedy: Donald Trump's cruel immigration policies and the child prison camps run in our name.

Equal justice under law. It's carved in stone above the Supreme Court, but not actually guaranteed for all of us.

That's why, today, I'm thrilled that the House has passed the Equality Act that I wrote with Representative David Cicilline, to finally make good on the promise of equal protections for LGBTQ+ Americans.

The next step? Get this historic legislation through the Senate.

How many difficult conversations happen every year because our American health insurance system isn't a health care system? How many families struggle each year, squeezed by an inability to pay the outrageous costs of care – even if they have insurance?

Instead of prioritizing care for the sick and vulnerable, our industry puts a premium on profits. That's wrong.

Which is why I'm proud to be working hard in the Senate to make Medicare for All a reality here in America.
