Immigrants who are following the rules and showing up to immigration court risk walking into a trap set by the Trump administration. This is not justice. This is punishment. That’s why I introd...

Trump wants to claim victory in his war with Iran but he's only made a bigger mess. 13 US troops and thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed. Gas has spiked to $4 a gallon. We need diplomac...

The Supreme Court’s ruling in February offered small businesses temporary relief from what has become a year of pain and uncertainty for Main Street. We must stop the pain from becoming permanent. ...

I’m glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn’t be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can’t simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to...
