    Today is Day, which means Black women must work an additional 8 months into the year to be paid what white, non-Hispanic men were paid last year. It’s time to close the !
  • .'s latest attack on immigrant families is to keep kids and their parents in cages indefinitely. Families fleeing violence and persecution don't belong in filthy prisons. I'll fight this policy and all attacks on immigrant communities.
  • The United States already has nearly 4,000 nuclear weapons in our active arsenal, & our conventional military might is overwhelming. Doubling down on more nuclear weapons while scrapping nuclear treaties undercuts our nonproliferation efforts around the world.
  • We urge keeping provisions that: ☢️Ban the deployment of dangerous, costly & unnecessary W76-2 low-yield nuclear warheads ☢️Call on the Trump admin to extend the New START treaty ☢️Deny funding for certain nuclear missiles to prevent an arms race following the INF Treaty collapse
  • A nuclear arms race doesn’t make the U.S. – or the world – any safer. That’s why I’m leading 17 other senators in urging & to include 3 key nuclear weapons provisions in next year’s defense budget.
  • I’m done hearing about all the new ways is cheating its customers. And I’m done with President Trump’s appointed regulators who look the other way. Wells Fargo is fundamentally broken. I’m going to keep fighting with everything I’ve got to hold them accountable.
  • Here’s the deal: In the past 3 years has sworn up & down that it’s changed – & it’s been caught scamming customers & lying to regulators in more than a dozen ways. Fake accounts. Unneeded auto insurance fees. Wrongful foreclosures & repossessed cars. Enough is enough.
  • Three years after the fake accounts scandal, got caught raking in cash from accounts that its customers didn’t know they had – AGAIN. Today I’m opening an investigation & demanding answers.
  • In 2013, I asked why a kid caught with an ounce of drugs goes to jail, but a bank exec that launders a billion dollars in drug money pays a fine & sleeps in their own bed at night. It's clear: we have one justice system for the rich & powerful, & another for everybody else.
  • We need stronger rules on Wall Street, & tough regulators to enforce them. That’s why my anti-corruption bill locks the revolving door between Wall Street & Washington, & my Ending Too Big to Jail Act puts big bank executives in handcuffs when their banks break the law.
  • The American people have a right to know how & why ’s political appointees at are influencing the settlement process to help & avoid accountability for their role in the 2008 financial crisis. I want answers.
  • After the 2008 financial crisis, millions lost their homes, jobs, & life savings – & no CEOs went to jail. A decade later, it’s unconscionable that still won't hold corporate criminals accountable for their role in breaking our economy.
  • The Trump administration is deliberately obstructing low-income people’s access to basic health care services & interfering in medical decisions made by patients & their doctors. If the administration won’t , then the courts must.
  • Make no mistake: this is a direct attack on the Fair Housing Act at a time when housing costs are skyrocketing & too many families, especially families of color, face vicious discrimination. should be strengthening anti-discrimination rules, not weakening them.
  • Today, is proposing a rule that would give landlords, mortgage lenders, & others the power to discriminate against homebuyers & renters with no consequences.
