That includes workers toiling under the hot sun, in overheated warehouses, and in delivery trucks with no AC.

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress.

No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

Why does Trump want to create a national voter registration list?

“This effort to create a national voter file that Donald Trump controls is an effort to mass disenfranchise people through paperwork.”

Trump and Republicans’ SNAP cuts have many families worried about how they will feed their kids this summer while school is out.

Our community’s food banks are stepping up. I’m grateful for the work they're doing — and I will continue fighting in Congress to restore funding that keeps our kids fed.
