Another large corporate merger tightening its grip on the food system. Not only would this limit purchasing options for independent restaurants, it would raise costs. Sysco could limit what ends up on the menu, reshaping dining experiences, and draining our wallets.

The Trump Administration is starting to admit that shadowy private credit might be in trouble. But they’re still trying to shove it into YOUR 401(k). Every day Trump and his cronies find another way to tell working people they couldn’t care less about them.

The corruption is blatant. The pattern is the same: Trump weaponizes any lever of power he has against his “enemies,” or people that refuse to do his bidding. 1/2

No Colorado family recovering from floods and wildfires should be denied help because of President Trump’s political games. I’m working on legislation that will give Congress the power to overturn Trump’s callous decision to withhold disaster relief from Americans in crisis.

$1,000,000,000,000 This regime's unauthorized war with Iran could cost U.S. taxpayers up to $1 TRILLION. $1 TRILLION — with a "T". All while they claim there isn't enough funding for health care, food assistance, education programs... Republicans' priorities are beyond wrong.

Like most, I’ve experienced the nuisance of robocalls. These calls often prey on non-consenting consumers. It’s got to stop, which is why I joined @schakowsky.house.gov and @kevinmullin.house.gov to introduce the Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act to guard against phone scammers.

A record number of supertankers are preparing to ship American oil overseas—another way for Big Oil to profit from Trump's illegal and reckless war in Iran. Oil exports pollute our communities and reduce our energy security, while our prices continue to rise at the pump.

Watching sports has become confusing and just downright expensive. It shouldn't take paying $1,500/year and 10 different streaming services to watch the teams you love. I have a bill to cut costs, end black outs, and guarantee local fans can watch their teams for free.
