The Supreme Court has become a willing partner in President Trump’s authoritarian power grab. First, they granted Trump blanket immunity from any crimes he commits in office, and now they’ve given him complete control over our federal…

Ultimately, the proposed rule seeks to create a centralized national absentee voter database with individualized barcodes connected to the voters’ names under the control of the President that contains the voting information of millions of…

We write for a second time regarding the unconstitutional and illegal attempt to transform the United States Postal Service into an election administration agency controlled by the White House and President Trump.

We urge you to honor that commitment by abandoning these proposals and to further reject any legislation that would permanently cut off these benefits to veterans.

We are equally opposed to the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act because it codifies the same harmful reductions in benefits for veterans with tinnitus and sleep apnea benefits.

We urge you to listen to the growing opposition from veterans and publicly commit to addressing their concerns.

There’s no evidence, zero evidence in this country, that there is a problem at scale with people faking their identification in elections.

Listen, it’s no secret, voters aren’t super happy with establishment Democrats or establishment Republicans these days. I will say, though, what binds together I think every Democratic candidate that is running, including the ones in New…

Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York. It is the president of the United States that is trying to destroy American democracy, and the Democratic Party, left, right and center is…

Iran is making no new commitments. They are agreeing to open the Strait. The Strait was open before the war began.

Well, we proved that if you pass legislation that just makes it a little bit harder for the wrong people to get their hands on weapons, people who have serious criminal convictions, people who are mentally ill, you make it a little bit…

I am hopeful that I am wrong about these negotiations. I am hopeful that new leverage will materialize, but I don't see any leverage at all.

The gun lobby has a habit of arguing that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The gun lobby says the answer to gun violence is more guns. Well, we proved that if you pass legislation that just makes it a…

Four years ago, after the awful shooting in Uvalde, four senators got together, supported by another bigger ring of bipartisan senators, and we were able to come up with a bill that was not perfect, was not everything that I wanted, or…

This is maybe the secret sauce. This is maybe the biggest explanation as to why numbers are going down. What we find in community after community that are plagued with high rates of gun violence is that it is normally a very small group of…

This is all good news. There are more people alive today because something is changing in America, and while it is still unacceptable that we are averaging a mass shooting every day in this country, the numbers are unquestionably heading…

[Tax breaks] are designed to compensate for a rigged system. Why don’t we just unrig the system?

People don’t want to be written a check. People want to work for pay.

The business community cried murder, and the job losses they predicted did not materialize.

The way you solve people’s basic economic problem — not having enough money to pay the bills — is by making a minimum wage be a living wage.

Democrats need to offer solutions that are as big as the problems people are facing.

This moment is exceptional. It’s a one of one moment, and if it becomes normal, if people stop being outraged at what he is doing to enrich himself, then I fear there is no going back.

Over the last year and a half, our president, Donald Trump, has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis, and we should start acting like it.

Today’s decision is devastating for thousands of our neighbors who have lived and worked in our communities for years and just had the rug pulled out from under them. Now that the Supreme Court has rubberstamped the racist policies of…

If you work full time in this country, you should be able to afford to live. But wages are so low that parents work 60 hours a week and still aren’t sure if they’ll have lunch money for their kids.
