Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has spent 18 months imprisoned without charge after caring for children in Gaza. Reports that he has been beaten and tortured are horrifying. He must be released immediately. International law must be upheld.
Working families don't need another endless war. They need lower gas prices, lower grocery bills, and a government focused on making life more affordable. That's the kind of leadership families deserve and the kind of future we should be building.
Not a single dollar in the Republican Budget will go toward lowering the costs that people face. Instead, Republicans are CHOOSING to fund a costly war with Iran over the healthcare of the American people.
John Lewis believed the strength of our democracy has always come from ordinary people willing to stand up for what's right. I miss my dear friend. His faith in people never wavered, and neither should ours. The call to make good trouble didn't end with him. It belongs to all of us.
Clean beauty matters every day! We all deserve cosmetics we can trust, not products filled with harmful chemicals. That's why I'm the proud sponsor of the Safer Beauty Bill Package. It's time for the U.S. to act so no one has to choose between self-care and safety. #SaferBeauty4All
America's public lands aren't for sale. Trump's rollback of protections for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments is deeply unpopular and opens the door to destructive drilling and mining.
President Trump signed orders to reduce the size of two Utah national monuments: the Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by more than 90% to allow for grazing, motorized recreation, logging and other resource development in the region, the White House said.
Fans deserve a chance to buy tickets at a fair price. The Senate must pass the bipartisan TICKET Act to crack down on hidden fees, end speculative ticketing, and hold this industry accountable.
For years, fans have watched ticket prices skyrocket while being told that’s just how the market works. Now we know StubHub isn’t just failing to stop scalpers. It’s fueling the problem. A recent report shows its CEO runs a ticket scalping operation on the very platform he leads.
It has now been revealed that the CEO of StubHub also owns hedge fund that scalps millions of dollars worth tickets on StubHub.
Another life stolen. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is dead after being shot by ICE agents. This is what happens when Trump gives federal agents a license to terrorize communities. No more excuses. No more bloodshed. There must be an independent investigation and full accountability. Justice for Lorenzo.
Ronaldo Salgado relayed his panicked search for his father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, as he joined local legislators and activists in calling for a full and transparent investigation into the killing on Tuesday in Houston. https://wapo.st/4vUxMt9
Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 As America celebrates its 250th birthday, I’m feeling especially grateful for the people and communities who make our country so special. I hope today is filled with time spent with family, friends, and loved ones. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Independence Day!
Congratulations to Lilia from Evanston Township High School, the winner of my 2026 Congressional Art Competition!   Her stunning piece, "Gatsby's American Dream," is a powerful reflection on the inequities that continue to stand in the way of equal opportunity.
The FTC stands between families and corporate abuse, taking on junk fees, grocery monopolies, Big Tech scams, and surveillance. Today, SCOTUS destroyed its independence and gave Trump more power to turn this watchdog into a political tool for his billionaire buddies. Consumers will pay the price.
Court allows Trump to fire FTC commissioner and overturns major restraint on presidential power
Trump and his cronies have spent years attacking vote-by-mail and trying to undermine confidence in our elections. Today's Supreme Court decision rejected another attempt to silence voters. Every legal ballot deserves to be counted.
MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.
Happy Equality Day! Eleven years ago, love won. The Supreme Court affirmed what so many of us had fought for over decades: that every couple, no matter who they love, deserves the freedom to marry. I won't stop fighting until every person can live openly, safely, and with dignity.
This Supreme Court decision lets Bayer avoid accountability for products that are known to cause cancer, leaving thousands of people without recourse and removing incentives for manufacturers to make their products safer. We must change the law and get glyphosate out of our products.
BREAKING: The US Supreme Court shields Bayer from claims that its Roundup herbicide should have been labeled as a cancer risk
