I introduced today an amendment demanding the full release of the Epstein files. The Speaker's Rules Committee should demand a vote tomorrow of every Member of Congress. Yes, we should release it or, no, we should not. This is a question…
This is about transparency and restoring trust, not partisan politics. The public outcry is apparent.
On Tuesday, I'm introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public.
Speaker [Mike Johnson] must call a vote and put every Congress member on record.
Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich and powerful being protected?
The files should be fully released and can be done so consistent with DOJ principles of protecting victims and the innocent.
The Republican budget would kneecap sports and gambling by making Americans pay taxes on gambling losses. This is deeply unfair.
The reality is, the central issue for America is we can’t be a nation half-prosperous and half in decline and in despair.
It makes people in the country who are in the bottom 30%, working hard to pay their bills, poorer, because it’s stripping away healthcare from them, stripping away food assistance from them.
We are creating in this country control over people. And that’s impacting not just the rights of immigrants, it’s impacting our freedoms as Americans.
It was sad to see echoes of colonial rhetoric here in the halls of the United States Congress.
I never want to hear the Republicans lecture about fiscal responsibility again. The last President to actually balance this budget was Bill Clinton. Today, Bob Rubin and Larry Summers wrote an op-ed in The New York Times that every…
The reality is that if he de-privileges this War Powers Resolution, it's not just abdicating Congress's role on matters of Iran.
I rise today to oppose war in Iran or any wars of choice in the Middle East. We need to be investing in good-paying jobs at home, healthcare at home, and childcare at home, not billions of dollars in missiles targeted at the Middle East…
It is my view that the Democratic Party needs to clearly stand up against this war and take up the mantle again of being the anti-war party.
the American people are tired of spending billions of dollars on these endless wars.
The abundance agenda speaks to a desire in America that we do big things again, that we build things, and it is an important intellectual contribution to the party.
I think the country wants new dreams, wants new excitement. They’re looking for the Kennedy-esque spirit that inspired my parents to come to the United States.
the party that stands up against wars of choice, against these endless wars in the Middle East.
The Libya attacks were blatantly unconstitutional. Those strikes were also counterproductive.
Stopping Iran from having a nuclear bomb is a top priority, but dragging the U.S. into another Middle East war is not the solution. Trump's strikes are unconstitutional and put Americans, especially our troops, at risk. Congress needs to…
It is why I voted against the offensive funding to Netanyahu almost seven months ago.
It is a terrible bill. Tax breaks for the billionaires, handouts to corporations, huge defense increases, and hurting the working and middle class.
