Today, on Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. I’m grateful for their courage, and I’m holding their loved ones close in my thoughts today.
Black women in the US are far more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Every mom deserves good care before, during, and after pregnancy. I introduced legislation with @bluntrochester.senate.gov to expand coverage and improve maternal health care.
My dear friend Barney Frank was one of a kind. He was brilliant, fearless, funny, and deeply compassionate. Serving alongside him was one of the great privileges of my career. Barney helped change this country for the better, from advancing financial reform to breaking barriers for LGBTQ Americans.
BREAKING: Barney Frank, a longtime Democratic congressman who crafted financial reforms and brought visibility to gay rights, dies.
Cruelty and bigotry do not make America strong. Immigrants are, and always have been, what make our country great. My office is in communication with the family’s attorney, and we will do everything possible to bring them home and secure justice for them.
PFAS chemicals are linked to cancer, liver damage, and other serious health risks and now Trump’s EPA is trying to roll back limits on them in our drinking water. This is exactly what happens when corporations and polluters call the shots in Washington. Clean water is a right.
Breaking news: The EPA proposed repealing limits on four types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. The proposal would end the Biden-era restrictions on four PFAS compounds and give utilities more time to comply with limits on two others.
I was a Head Start teacher, and I saw firsthand the joy, confidence, and opportunities this program gave so many children and families. On its anniversary, we celebrate Head Start and stand against attacks that threaten access to early childhood education for millions of kids.
To Meta, children are nothing more than a dollar value. It’s past time we listen to parents sounding the alarm about the dangers Big Tech poses to children, and all Americans. Families deserve accountability. Congress must stand up to Big Tech.
Meta knew their products were dangerous to kids, per newly released evidence. Employees joked that Instagram “is a drug” and that social media companies “are basically pushers.”
I'm proud to have secured $7 million in federal funding for the Village of Mount Prospect to help reduce gridlock at Rand Rd., Kensington Rd., and Route 83. These improvements will reduce wait times and improve safety drivers and pedestrians alike.
Trump promised lower prices. Instead, his reckless and illegal war in Iran is making life more expensive for everyone else. Gas prices up. Grocery prices up. Families stretched even thinner. Working people are once again paying for Donald Trump’s chaos.
Happy Mother’s Day! 💐🌹☀️ Instead of just chocolates and flowers, how about paid parental leave, affordable health care, fair wages, and child care families can count on? Today and every day, we fight for policies that support working families and honor the care moms provide.
Eight years after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, a deal that constrained Iran’s nuclear program, we are still facing higher gas prices and ongoing global instability. Abandoning diplomacy has real consequences. Negotiation works. Chaos doesn’t.
After years under former AG Consuelo Porras, who was sanctioned by the US and other countries for corruption and undermining democracy, the Guatemalan people deserve transparency and accountability during this transition, and a chance to heal and move forward.
Nurses show up for us in our most vulnerable moments, often working long hours under strenuous conditions. That is why safe staffing standards and fair working conditions for nurses will provide the support they deserve and dramatically improve patient care.
This Teacher Appreciation Day📝, I’m thinking about the long days, meaningful moments, and lasting impact of teaching. From one former teacher to those in the classroom now, thanks for all you do. I’ll keep fighting for higher pay, stronger benefits, and the support you deserve.
