The policies separating migrant children from parents is unconscionable.

I continue to believe that any progress made by the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act would be completely reversed if the Republicans ever succeed in their radical plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and drastically cut…

This is a man-made disaster by the Trump Administration.

Today's hearing really comes down to two questions: is the Federal Trade Commission equipped to fulfill its mission of protecting consumers and what can Congress do to make it more effective--a more effective consumer advocate.
