The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. While in Dallas, I viewed an exhibit of more than 300 million pages of the Epstein Files. It is a brave project that aims to uncover the cruel crimes of Epstein and his associates, and to give voice to the women and girls who suffered their abuse.

Cheryl and I are keeping the students, teachers and families impacted by last night’s shooting in Eden Prairie in our prayers today. No homecoming celebration should end with gun violence. We’ve got to do better for our kids and pass common sense gun control in this country.

Incredibly alarming that the DOJ has officially said it will not appeal the ruling that struck down the nearly 100-year-old requirements for silencers, short-barreled rifles, and “sawed-off” shotguns. These uniquely lethal devices can eviscerate public safety in our communities.
