“My heart is with the family members and loved ones of the 13 American service members who were killed in Kabul. These brave individuals who lost their lives, and all our troops on the ground, courageously went to carry out our mission knowing the threats they faced. Those we lost will forever be remembered as heroes, and my thoughts are with all our service members working to protect the lives of U.S. Citizens, our Afghan allies, and countless others threatened by heinous and cowardly acts of terrorism.

“Social isolation and loneliness impacted our seniors long before this pandemic led to limited gatherings and visits with friends and loved ones,” said Congresswoman Linda Sánchez. “Not everyone has the social support they need, and isolation can lead to poor physical and mental health. This bill would ensure community organizations have the tools and resources to meet the needs of all seniors, especially those most at risk of experiencing social isolation or loneliness.”

My thoughts today are with AFL-CIO President Trumka's family, especially his wife, Barbara, and all those who knew and loved him. He was a giant in the fight for workers’ rights, a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
