The arrival of a Proud Boys founder at Columbia makes the situation very clear—right wing extremists are capitalizing on peaceful student protest to serve their own political goals. McInnes has a known history of antisemitism.

This isn’t about keeping students safe at all.

This is a huge deal! Our labor wins just keep coming, and this new rule from the Labor Dept. will uplift millions of workers by giving them hard-earned overtime pay. We’re going to keep fighting so that every worker is paid fairly for their labor ✊🏿

The decision to get emergency medical care is an individual freedom, not a decision for politicians and judges.

Today, SCOTUS will decide whether to keep putting lives at risk or uphold basic healthcare rights and laws like . I urge them to protect reproductive freedom.

I am devastated to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague, Rep. Donald Payne. His work to invest in minority-owned businesses and build up our nation’s infrastructure were inspirational. I’m sending love and strength to his loved ones and to New Jersey’s 10th District 🙏🏿

On this Armenian Remembrance Day, I am mourning all those who were lost, and the grief that their families had to endure. There is still so much more we must do to call for justice for the Armenian people. It is essential that we work to build a world rooted in love and peace.

I condemn any potential police action on Columbia University's campus. As an educator who personally experienced the over policing of our schools, this is personal to me. We must resist right-wing demagoguery and stop suppressing peaceful protest if we are to keep students safe.

LET'S GO! We’ve been pushing the FTC to ban noncompetes and now they are so close to finalizing a rule that will help 30 million workers lower their healthcare costs, expand innovation, and make higher salaries.

This is the result of doing the work for the people!

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Proud to have joined Democrats in Congress to make the Inflation Reduction Act the largest climate investment in US history, and to have introduced legislation like my Green New Deal for Public Schools to address the climate crisis and build a future for all.

Today, SCOTUS is hearing Johnson v. Grants Pass, a case that could criminalized unhoused people simply for existing.

I joined Congresswoman Cori Bush and my colleagues in urging SCOTUS to reject penalties for unhoused people because existing in public is not a crime.

We cannot brag about being the wealthiest nation in the world when millions of people cannot afford or access the health care they need.

We need Medicare for All so that health care is affordable and accessible for everyone regardless of their job, income, or zip code.

Our kids are brilliant, and school should be an opportunity to discover their passion and nurture their creativity.

We need to revolutionize our public schools and make them places of self-discovery by reforming standardized testing with my More Teaching Less Testing bill.

Fourteen years ago, the BP Deepwater Horizon spill sparked a months-long environmental disaster and became the largest marine oil spill in history.

It is essential that we continue fighting for environmental reforms and clean energy to prevent disaster and protect the Earth.

The Columbine shooting, which happened 25 years ago, was right when I started teaching. Since then there have been over 400 more school shootings across the country. Kids shouldn’t have to be afraid of going to school. We need common sense gun reforms now.
