I want you to go to the window, open it, stick your head out and yell: "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore.

Seems appropriate right now.

One candidate for governor has served our country in uniform, prosecuted criminals, and ran for office to protect health care.

The other has says he is "100% MAGA" and supports what Trump is doing to strip health care from New Jerseyans.

I know who I’ll be voting for this November: Mikie Sherrill.

Trump said he would cut drug costs “by 1500%.”

Really?

Since he took office, 688 prescription drugs have become MORE expensive.

The legislation I wrote is simple: the U.S. must not pay more for prescription drugs than other countries.

Let’s pass it.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Less than 36 hours away from a shutdown, Republicans chose to fly to North Carolina instead of to DC to do their jobs. This field hearing is just another example of them exploiting tragedy to score political points.

For 126 years the VFW has stood for America’s veterans and their families. Now veterans and the VFW are getting squeezed, and a Republican shutdown could make things even worse. I’m going to keep standing up for our veterans, their services and their jobs, no matter how tough or how long the fight.

We are witnessing the rise of two very separate and distinct Americas:

One for the billionaire class. One for everybody else.

Our country is not supposed to be run by a handful of wealthy oligarchs while a majority of people struggle to afford the basic necessities.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.

We can't allow that to happen.
