Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement marking ten years since a gunman murdered twelve people at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado:
"Ten years ago, an act of senseless mass violence stole the lives of twelve Americans on what should have been a joyful night with friends and family. This tragedy shocked Aurora and the nation, inflicting renewed fear for the safety of our own loved ones – at work, in church and even at the movies. In the decade since this heart-wrenching attack, the United States' daily drumbeat of gun violence has devastated more communities and torn apart more families. As this crisis continues claiming innocent lives, Americans have mobilized in stunning numbers to demand an end to the bloodshed.
Dear Democratic Colleague,
Yesterday was a day of important progress in the Senate, as it took the first step toward passing the Chips Act for America: a bold, bipartisan package that will lower costs for families here at home while reigniting American competitiveness on the world stage. Let us salute President Biden and our tireless negotiators for all of their hard work fighting for House priorities, including significant new investments in science and technology.

Dear Colleague,
Tomorrow, the Congress will have the distinct honor to welcome the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska to speak to the Congress. As we do so, Putin's heinous war in Ukraine wages on – and it continues to take a terrible toll on women and girls.
In the course of visits from Ukrainian leaders — from members of parliament to grassroots heroes — many of us have heard horrific stories about the brutal treatment of women and girls by Russian forces. Indeed, we have sufficient evidence of kidnappings and deportations into Russia, rape of women in front of family members and even rape of little girls.
Dear Democratic Colleague,
June's actions of the Supreme Court have had a devastating impact on our country – and have informed our Congressional agenda. This is exacerbated by the ongoing epidemic of gun violence across the country.
