Absolutely horrifying. My heart goes out to the victims, their families and loved ones and the entire Jewish community in the wake of this inexcusable act of antisemitic violence. Hate should never find safe harbor in America, and we should all be united…

Cutting Medicaid would hurt people in every state—and Republicans know it. Their budget kicks millions off their coverage and will cause medical debt to skyrocket.   So much suffering to fund tax cuts that billionaires don't need.

For 60 years, Head Start has supported millions of families—caring for young children while their parents go to work. Shame on Trump for inflicting needless chaos and uncertainty on this lifeline. I'll always defend Head Start and the families it…

71 years ago, Brown v. Board of Education affirmed a simple truth: separate is not equal—and every child deserves a fair shot at success. We must honor its legacy by ensuring every child gets equal access to a quality education.

At today’s town hall, Veterans told me they’re worried about their healthcare. Worried about delays, disruptions and services being defunded. The Trump Administration is leaving our heroes behind. I’m showing up and fighting back.

While Americans feel the squeeze of Trump's economy, Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP—the programs that help them get by. GOP cuts won’t lower costs. They’re making room for tax breaks for billionaires. They'd rather you…
