Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.

Today, I introduced legislation with Sen. Hawley to do just that.

We cannot continue to allow big banks to rip-off Americans by charging outrageously high credit card interest rates of 25 or 30%.

Can we create a bill limiting the power of the United States president to pardon criminals of violent crimes?!? This is so absurd.

On Friday, a memorandum signed by Marco Rubio called for a 90-day cessation of foreign aid. That would likely put on hold the work of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service.

Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
