When it comes to doing the right thing and helping people, I’ve never backed down from a fight – and I won’t start now.
Millionaires and big financial institutions may be back on their feet from the 2008 crash, but working families and our economy are still vulnerable. I'm supporting @brianschatz's plan to make sure unchecked greed can't put Americans at risk again.
Voters should know if lobbyists are funding a candidate's campaign, and how much they're spending. I introduced the CLEAR Act—along with @repdelgado as part of #HR1—to restore transparency to our elections. If our colleagues won't vote for it, what don't they want voters to know?

Thank you @SenBrianSchatz and @RepPeterDeFazio for intro of #WallStreetTax. And thanks @SenGillibrand for leading the way among 2020 candidates as cosponsor -- we want to see bold ideas to tackle surging inequality from everyone running in the Dem primary.
#AAPIEqualPay Day is today, March 5. Think about that: It's taken more than two months for AAPI women to make as much as what white men made in 2018. This isn't just an injustice, it's a massive economic damper. Let's pass the #PaycheckFairness Act.
I was the first member of Congress to make my official meetings public, I release my tax returns every year, I wrote the STOCK Act, and now I'm fighting for the CLEAR Act. Rooting out corruption from our government has been my priority since day one, and it always will be.
Every American should be able to access the full range of reproductive health care they need, including abortion, and neither the president nor any other politician should be able to interfere with that. Full stop.
At the end of the day—if we set aside the noise—the #GreenNewDeal is fundamentally about three things, all bipartisan:
Infrastructure.
Jobs.
Clean air and water.
I believe we can build support for this and save our planet, and I'll fight for it.
Thankful for my friend @JeffMerkley's leadership in the Senate and in our party. We need champions for climate action, health care and opportunity for all in every branch of our government to get our country back on track, and we're lucky to have him.
This is extraordinarily hopeful news—and potentially a game-changing step in one of our greatest global challenges and health injustices. I'm so grateful to the countless scientists, doctors, advocates and patients who've worked for decades battling HIV.
