George Floyd should be alive today.

He should be raising his daughter, living his life.

5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags.

His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.”

Let’s stop failing her, and him.

Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

This is what oligarchy is about.

While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption.

The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

People Power is the engine of lasting change. The energy, passion, and action of everyday Americans drive it. Political parties matter—but movements move the needle. Both are worth fighting for, but it's the people who keep progress alive. www.newsletter.peoplepowerunited.org/p/we-rise-pe...

Questions about vaccines and autism have been around for a while despite scientific studies that show no connection.

Learn where the concerns started, science behind why experts have concluded there is no link, and why these questions still persist.

In America last year, nearly 40 million workers made less than $17 an hour. Unacceptable.

Nobody in America can make it on $7.25 an hour, $9 an hour or $12 an hour.

We need an economy in which all of our workers earn a living wage.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
 
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Last year, I launched an investigation into the outrageous price Novo Nordisk charges for Wegovy.

Novo now says it will cut Wegovy’s price for the uninsured from $1,349 to $499.

This is a modest step forward. But Novo must do better.

Wegovy can be purchased for $92 in the U.K.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

🚨 THIS IS DICTATOR BEHAVIOR 🚨

Trump just declared that he will VOID Biden’s pardons — including for members of the January 6th Committee. This isn’t just an attack on Biden — it’s a direct threat to political dissent and a chilling escalation of political persecution.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.

If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.

If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.

But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. 

Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.

Together we can stop them. We must stop them.
