It's shameful that CEOs are making 285 times more than the workers who keep their companies running on starvation wages. We need to take on corporate greed and pass the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act.

Having access to a safe place to live is a human right. Every year, Congress passes another record-breaking military budget instead of investing in housing for our neighbors. Today, I'm re-introduc...

Today, the corrupt, far-right Supreme Court gutted what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. My statement:

The federal government is using a mass surveillance tool to spy on us. No President, especially the current one, should have the power to make warrantless searches on the private communications of ...
