I just voted NO to advance Frank Bisignano's nomination to lead the Social Security Administration.
NO SENATOR should vote to confirm someone who will enable Trump & Elon to DECIMATE SSA and make it harder for Americans to get the benefits they've paid into their entire careers.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy.
Thank you professor.🙏

I wish Congressional Dems would form a shadow cabinet so there is a designated spokesperson on every topic who can clearly articulate an alternative position and vision of a different future. This is how it’s done in the UK. Despite not being a Parliamentary democracy, I think it could work here.

Every member of Congress—myself included—was elected to write our nation's laws.
Why on earth would we confirm Russ Vought to uphold those laws after he has made perfectly clear he has no intention of following them?
