This week, I have continued to closely follow the developments in the Tyre Nichols police beating case and have been in regular contact with local and federal officials as the imminent release of video of the events of January 7 approaches. I join our community leaders in urging a calm and peaceful response to what we have already been warned will be quite disturbing footage. On Tuesday, I returned to Washington and introduced four major pieces of legislation: a living wage bill, a measure to combat global corruption, a bill identifying a Russian mercenary group as a foreign terrorist organization, and a bill to permit a second magnetometer screening for airline passengers who believe they received a false positive initially. On Sunday, I attended the moving tribute to Lisa Marie Presley at Graceland. I also wrote to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra seeking assistance for HIV and AIDS patients after the State of Tennessee announced plans to reject federal HIV funding for non-profits; met twice with French Ambassador Philippe Étienne; met with youth-mentoring advocates; and offered a seasonal health and safety tip.
