Stadiums and arenas get multi-million dollar tax breaks, then jack up the price of concessions.
Everyone should be able to afford food at a game.
That’s why I introduced the HOTDOG Act — directing the FTC to study concession pricing at sports venues.
Hear what Brooklyn Nets fans think!

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

Stephen Miller is trying to rig the election.
His plan escalated from militarized agents terrorizing our streets to Patel targeting voter rolls in Fulton County.
I introduced an amendment to stop the federal government from seizing election records or voting machines. Senate Dems must add it now.

We must all aspire to have that same courage and strength as we continue this ongoing fight to defend our democracy and the heart of our nation.

Five years ago, Donald Trump incited an insurrection to overturn a free and fair election.
Today, his attacks on our democracy have only increased.
To stop him, we not only need fighters in Congress but we need ones who know how to win.

President Trump’s unauthorized military action in Venezuela is unconstitutional, dangerous, and an impeachable abuse of power. Congress alone has the authority to declare war and Trump is once again ignoring the law to serve his own interests.
