We have got to do everything we can to lower the cost of college.

For too long, these programs were mismanaged, and the previous Administration simply ignored struggling borrowers who were asking for help.

I applaud the Department for taking steps to offer group borrower defense discharge to students.

I am glad to see that change under President Biden, but I am not content, and I won't be until we finally have a system that actually works for students and borrowers.

95 percent of Americans support universal background checks, getting rid of the gun show loophole.

I’m calling for us to suspend the filibuster and pass sensible gun legislation at the 50 vote minimum, at the 50 vote threshold, 51 vote threshold.

This is about politicians who care more about a check, a pay day, a payoff from gun manufacturers than they do dead babies.
