It’s unacceptable that Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women are paid only 83 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. On AANHPI Women’s Equal Pay Day, we reaffirm our commitment to closing this unjust wage gap. www.equalpay2day.org/equal-pay-da...

The headline says it all. Trump wants to cut programs that help working people to fund endless wars.

This Administration is requesting $1.5 trillion for the Department of Defense while cutting health care, education, and other services Americans rely on. Working families are being told there’s no money for what they need, but there’s always money for what Trump wants.

Democrats know that Medicaid is one of the clearest ways we live out the belief that health care should not depend on how much money you have. So why did Republicans gut Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy?

Can’t trust a word they say. They’re lying about what they’re doing in Minnesota and across the country. This is exactly why I’m not voting for a single penny for ICE or CBP without massive, agency-wide changes.

Trump wants to give the Pentagon more money than it can spend while cutting programs that help American families here at home. Well Trump doesn't get to decide—Congress does. And I'm throwing his budget in the trash.

In Delta, we toured rural health facilities and sat down with local providers and officials to chat about our fight for health care. Every Coloradan deserves health care that is affordable, accessible, and universal.

The United States is $39 trillion in debt. Yet President Trump plans the largest increase in defense spending since the Korean War, adding another $6.9 trillion over the next 10 years, including funding for his dubious war with Iran.

No family should pay over $150 a week for the insulin they need to survive. No patient should have to move across the country to be able to afford their medication. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap insulin prices at no more than $35 a month. Let's get this done!

Trump is NOT fit to be Commander-in-Chief and everybody knows it. He must be removed. Whether it's the 25th Amendment or Republicans in Congress standing up, now is the time.

There is no way to thank him for being the first American to summit Mt. Everest and all that meant to our country at that moment. But his legacy of achievement, and his summit photo, will be an emblematic reminder for all of us to keep on striving towards our goals. (5/5)

Over the last several years, Jim helped lead key fights for public lands including the major fight to permanently reauthorize LWCF (Land and Water Conservation Fund). His voice was critical to showing the economic value of public lands. (4/5)

For a ceasefire deal to be viable, it must cover the full scope of this regional conflict, including Lebanon. The U.S. negotiators should help prevent further loss of civilian life by sitting down with all parties, be transparent about the deal and how to bring the war to a reasonable end.

My heart goes out to these families, along with so many others from the greater Detroit area who have been living in fear for loved ones in the greater Middle East.

There are tens of thousands of Michiganders with deep ties to Lebanon— family, friends, and ancestral homes. Today, many anxiously checked in on loved ones amid significant Israeli airstrikes and civilian casualties.

I had a great time breaking ground on Open Door Community’s Monroe North housing development today. I was glad to secure $1.5 million in funding for this project. As a former fair housing attorney, I’m excited about how this will provide people in Wytheville a safe place to call home.

Great visit to GCU today. Met with President Mueller and sat down with students to hear what's on their minds. Affordability, jobs, buying a home. They're asking the right questions. That's exactly why I show up.

We’re at war and Republicans in Congress refuse to fund CISA, our nation’s cybersecurity agency. Since he was sworn in, Trump has cut CISA’s staff by a third and has tried to cut their funding. Clearly they don’t care about your safety.

What the President said yesterday was disturbing. I’m relieved he held off on striking civilian infrastructure, but the fact of the matter is that no part of the war has helped the American people in any way.

This idea from the Trump administration is flying under the radar. It shouldn’t. Shutting down customs at major U.S. airports would hurt millions of American businesses, workers, and families, and totally upend international travel. Yet another self-inflicted wound.

What was this all for? 13 American troops killed and hundreds wounded. We haven't destroyed Iran's nuclear program. Americans are paying billions in higher gas prices. We've spent $44 billion taxpayer dollars. President Trump accomplished nothing and Americans paid the price.

Trump’s reckless immigration crackdown isn’t targeting the ‘worst of the worst.’ They are going after military families on base & separating newlyweds as they actively pursue legal paths to citizenship.
