Every conspiracy theory we just heard has been debunked, not true, and distorted from the facts because this impeachment inquiry is political vengeance directed by a twice- impeached, four times indicted President and carried out by…
The Senate rejected this same Republican proposal last month. Let's address the student debt crisis at its roots. Let's get back to lowering costs for working families and putting people over politics. Republicans seem to always want to…
I stand in opposition to the rule and to the measures underlying it. Today, we have an extreme Republican proposal that would make college more expensive and paying for it harder for hardworking families across America. College costs have…
We need to not be worried about change but say some change needs to be welcomed and brought in.
The need to restore the land for everything that it means, which you beautifully highlighted what it means.
I am pleased that the Biden administration has adopted this approach and is moving towards that.
