Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved.

But the struggle continues.

Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans.

Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.

My homebound 97-year-old grandma was just saying today that Trump is the worst president in history. She knows what’s up.

I’m horrified by the shootings targeting Minnesota lawmakers, including Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman.

Violence is never the answer. Never.

I'm holding everyone affected by this attack in my heart.

No lawmaker in Congress — with access to all kinds of non-public information — should own, buy, and sell individuals stocks.
 
It's time to BAN congressional stock trading.

So Trump gets a $400 million plane to take with him when he leaves office and Qatar walks away with $1.2 trillion in deals. A win-win for them, just not for the American public.

Judge Sessions is right. Neither Rumeysa Ozturk or anyone else in America should be in jail for authoring an op-ed critical of Israel, or on any subject.

Trump and colleagues should read the Constitution and, especially, the First Amendment.

Ozturk must be released immediately.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.

It's shameful and dangerous.

I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.
