As Members of Congress, we have promised to serve the American people, and this means keeping American families safe and secure. But for too long, Congress has put fealty to the special interest of the gun lobby ahead of our safety. I…

I thank my colleague, the gentlewoman from Wisconsin, for her powerful words in this time of tragedy in her district. I thank her for bringing the voice of those we lost to the United States Congress. I really appreciate her passion and…

I have serious concerns that we will have children who will not be adopted or fostered when there are prospective loving parents who are ready and able to raise them, and the reason that these kids will not be fostered or adopted is…

Language about broken families or a family being a man and a woman--I remember I wrote to Deb, what does that mean about our families that we are proudly raising.

When Congress enacted the first income tax in 1861, in the midst of the Civil War, it included the first exemption for State and local taxes. President Trump's tax law violated our Nation's long-held views of States' rights and a limited…

I agree with my Republican colleagues that we do need bipartisan action on drug pricing. Negotiating drug prices is not partisan to the American people; it is common sense. But let's be clear. The amendment to this bill is not bipartisan…
