  • 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 's plan to make sure unchecked greed can't put Americans at risk again.

  • At the end of the day—if we set aside the noise—the 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 '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.
  • Twelve. Detained. Babies.
  • 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.
