Yesterday, Republicans scrambled to cancel a vote on the War Powers Resolution—because they knew it would've passed. Republicans are choosing blind loyalty to Trump over doing what they know is best for the American people.
In the years after we passed Barney’s legislation, Dodd-Frank, the U.S. experienced no financial crises and the longest period of uninterrupted economic growth in our nation’s history. That’s one of the many legacies he’s left behind for the American people.
I was honored to be able to spend a few hours with Barney Frank and his husband Jim just a couple of weeks ago. Any time you talked to him you were reminded of how intelligent he was—and I also discovered we were both big Tom Lehrer fans! 🧵
At a time when too many families are struggling to afford a place to live, we have a real opportunity to make meaningful progress on the housing affordability crisis. I urge the Senate to act quickly and send this bill to the President’s desk. (2/2)
Today, Democrats and Republicans in the House came together to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which delivers long overdue reforms to build more homes, lower housing costs, and help make the dream of homeownership a reality for more Americans. (1/2)
Trump wants to put $1.7 billion of your taxpayer dollars toward a slush fund for his political allies and January 6 cop killers. To Trump, there’s always money for his criminal cronies, forever wars in the Middle East, and a personal ballroom—but not for healthcare or food assistance.
The affordability crisis is hitting our communities hard. Some local businesses are saying the challenges this year have been worse than during the COVID-19 pandemic. When going out for your next meal or grabbing groceries, consider shopping local and supporting small businesses!
I joined my colleagues in urging the DOJ to target insider trading on prediction markets. With prediction markets' popularity on the rise, we must crack down on those who use confidential information for personal gain and ensure these platforms have guardrails in place to deter illegal activity.
And congratulations to our second and third place finalists: Charlotte Cao with her piece, "A Missumer's Daydream," and Liliana DeMonica with her piece, "Our Father." Our People's Choice Award winner was Varum Vasireddy from STEP Bolingbrook with his piece, "250 Years of Freedom."
