“Progress is not permanent. Rights do not protect themselves. Democracy does not defend itself.”

It’s time that labor standards caught up. I’m proud to continue partnering with Senator Sanders in reintroducing this bill to make sure that the gains from historically high productivity are felt by all American workers.

The 40-hour workweek was established in law nearly 90 years ago.

“Today, we are being called to our own 'Go for Broke' moment.”

We are here because the work that began 63 years ago is unfinished.

Let’s finish the assignment, make Dr. King’s dream a reality, and fulfill the promise of a better America.

We fight for an America where nobody feels that they have to carry a passport to prove they belong.

The work of renewing and perfecting the idea of America does not happen on its own.

Every generation must take up the work of renewing and perfecting the idea of America so that America lives up to its promise.

America belongs to all of us. Let’s Go For Broke. Go all in for democracy. Go all in for equality. Go all in for freedom.

Every generation inherits the idea of America—and then must decide whether it is willing to fight for it.

We must fight for an America where the government does not use fear and intimidation to silence its own people.

Because America is an idea worth fighting for.

Because America was an idea worth fighting for.

We are not here simply to remember history. We are here because the work that began 63 years ago is unfinished.

America is an Idea Worth Fighting For.

I voted NO on the FY26 NDAA.

I am honored to have George as my guest at the State of the Union. His presence will speak volumes.

The Congressional Equality Caucus will continue to push federal legislation to address this harmful and fraudulent practice.

Young LGBTQI+ people should not have to be subjected to this kind of cruelty—especially by licensed health care providers.

Providers who engage in these practices are actively endangering the wellbeing of young LGBTQI+ people and defrauding their families by promising to “fix” something that is simply not broken.
