I’m honored to join more than 50 colleagues to recognize the Freedom Riders, who risked their lives to make America a better place.

We must honor their bravery with the #CongressionalGoldMedal for their heroic civil and human rights achievement.

I worked along with a great group to advocate for the #SixTripleEight to be awarded the #CongressionalGoldMedal. My grandmother served in this historic unit. I am SO gratified to see her story come to the “big” screen.

"I’m just tired of them standing there and saying how wonderful the Capitol police is and then they turn around and go down to Mar-a-Lago and kiss his ring.” ~ Gladys Sicknick, mother of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick

Worth sharing from that bird place. Love the snub.

Representatives of #CongressionalGoldMedal Recipients Decline to Shake Hands with Republican Leaders #MitchMcConnell and #KevinMcCarthy during a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda.

That is what happens when you enable a seditious Presidential candidate responsible for an insurrection.

McConnell and McCarthy are on the wrong side of history.

Looks like Mitch McConnell isn't very liked in these parts 🤣.

Love how the family walked right past him as he holds his hand out to shake theirs. This is what happens when you disrespect the heroes. You get dismissed!!!
