But at this moment, more than 11 million families are paying more than half their income in rent.

The Trump budget would cut the funding for this Department by 60 percent.

Ultimately, this comes down to how serious do we want to be about Russia's interference in our election?

I think the American people deserve better.

For decades, giant corporations and their buddies in Congress have waged attacks on unions.

It is the policy of the United States to encourage workers to bargain collectively.

Russia is actively working to destabilize countries along its borders and to undermine European Union and NATO.

The House needs to pass the sanctions bill now, and we need to get it over to the President to be signed.

I think any efforts to water it down or delay it should be considered a dereliction of duty on their part.

The Wells Fargo board of directors is ultimately responsible for risk management at the bank.

Wells Fargo did not come close to meeting those requirements.

So any effort to reform our housing finance system must address this crisis.

I am all for ending Government conservatorship, and I am certainly all for ending the old system where the private investors pocket all the profits while the taxpayers take all the risks.

But I cannot be for reform if it does not address the affordable housing crisis in this country.

Do you think that a primary goal of housing finance reform should be to meaningfully increase access to affordable housing?

I am deeply relieved that the majority leader has delayed a vote on the Republican's cruel bill to rip up healthcare for 22 million people. People in Massachusetts and across this country spoke out against this terrible bill, and today…

we have just gotten the latest numbers on the Senate Republicans' reckless plan to take away health insurance from millions of American families, take it away from sick, little kids, take it away from seniors in nursing homes. These…
