Donald Trump is scared. He knows accountability is coming. He’s using his newly installed Attorney General/personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, to cover up his communications with private advisers and special interest cronies. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

NEW: 90% of Donald Trump's ambassador nominations have gone to his political donors and allies. Trump would rather promote his buddies than have experienced career diplomats represent us abroad.

Trump’s Education Department is gutting the very resources that help schools fight segregation and uphold students’ civil rights. I'm leading the demand with my colleagues that the Department withdraw this proposed rule and ensure every student can attend a school where they are safe and supported.

All kids, regardless of whether their parents are rich or poor, deserve healthcare. And no one should stay in a bad job simply because they can't afford their kids' care if they don't. That's why we need MediKids - guaranteed healthcare for every child in America.

Donald Trump lifted sanctions against Israeli settlers who are seizing homes in the West Bank. Now, the violence is worse, and even more Palestinians—and four Americans—have been killed by settlers and security forces. This is deeply wrong. These families deserve justice.

NextEra’s proposed takeover of Dominion Energy would create the world’s largest regulated energy utility, concentrating unprecedented market power and pushing even higher electricity bills. I am urging FERC to put the public interest over corporate profits and reject this merger.

Health care costs way too much. Millions of Americans get priced out of their coverage annually. We need to fight back against Republicans’ draconian cuts… and work towards a permanent universal coverage model, too.

6 MONTHS. That’s how long Trump’s illegal, costly war with Iran has dragged on with no end in sight. August marks six months since American families have been shouldering the cost for it at the gas pump, and anywhere they decide to spend their hard earned dollars. Trump needs to end this war.
