I am disturbed that this is even being considered. We must never lose sight of our humanity.
Happy Georgia Pre-K Week from the #FightingFifth!
I visited The School for Creative Achievers to read "I am Enough" by Grace Byers. Because it is never too early to remind our little ones that they are worthy, capable, and "like the sun, they're here to shine."
Please take precautions now: - Stay up to date on local weather alerts - Ensure you have essential supplies (food water, medications, flashlights) - Avoid unnecessary travel Your safety is out top priority so I will keep monitoring the situation and update y’all as I know more.
⚠️ WEATHER ALERT FOR ATLANTA AND NORTH GEORGIA
Hurricane Isaias is expected to bring severe weather to our region this weekend, including strong winds, heavy rain, and potential flooding.

Because safe, healthy homes shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Families in the #FightingFifth and across the country deserve better.
Nearly 7 million Americans live in homes that need significant repairs. That’s why I co-authored a letter urging HUD Secretary Turner to put the funds for the Whole-Home Repairs Act to work — funds we secured through the historic 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
I always want to hear from those shaping Atlanta’s music community and bring their voices to Congress.
The #FightingFifth is home to some of the most influential talent in music, so I loved meeting with the Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy.
We had a thoughtful conversation about the emerging role of AI in the music industry and what it means for creators.
Georgia conducts some of the most robust post-election audits in the country, which repeatedly confirm the accuracy of our election results.
Georgians in the #FightingFifth and beyond can have confidence in our elections and in your vote.
Georgia’s voting system complies with state and federal law and has undergone rigorous testing and certification. Efforts to cast doubt on Georgia’s elections are nothing but tactics designed to deter voters and preemptively silence them.

Today, as youth violence continues to affect communities across the country, we must carry that legacy forward. My resolution would establish this week as “National Nonviolence Week,” encouraging programs and activities aimed at raising awareness and preventing youth violence.
Nonviolence helped change the course of American history in the #FightingFifth and beyond.
As a young activist, Congressman John Lews helped lead a movement grounded in nonviolent action, and later, in Congress, he introduced a resolution supporting National Nonviolence Week.
Breaking down barriers between young people and the ballot is exactly why I introduced the Youth Voting Rights Act — to make sure polling places are available on university campuses in the #FightingFifth and across the country.
Welcome to #SecureTheBallot – my new series about the fight for our right to vote and what it means to protect that right today.
We’re starting here in the heart of the #FightingFifth with my friend, mentor, and predecessor, the late, great Congressman John Lewis.

The Annual Senior Ball was a beautiful evening celebrating our #FightingFifth seniors who paved the way! This year’s theme, “Legacy, Honor, and Elegance,” was truly on full display. 💙
I will always fight to ensure our community’s seniors have the resources they need to thrive!
From packing 1 million meals to feed our neighbors and celebrating 160 years of service at Central United Methodist Church to welcoming transit leaders and fighting for better maternal healthcare, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth.
