Time’s up, @SenateMajLdr. Let’s vote on gun safety legislation NOW. Every day you wait, more tragedies happen.
Do something, Senator McConnell. America is done waiting for you.
My Payment Modernization Act would create a national payments system so the money deposited in your bank account appears in real-time. No more living in fear over Labor Day that your rent will be processed before your paycheck clears. Congress should act to make this happen.
This is the sort of weekend that terrifies people living paycheck-to-paycheck:
Rent is due Sunday 9/1
Friday’s deposited paycheck may not clear for days because of the holiday weekend
Overdraft fees & payday lenders shouldn't be the solution. I’ve got a bill for that.

We must take emissions seriously & hold polluters accountable to avoid environmental catastrophe. In July, @FSCDems passed my Climate Risk Disclosure Act to make companies disclose climate-related risks.
@SenateMajLdr McConnell, give our bill a vote.
The Trump administration’s proposal to roll back methane emissions rules is a giant wet kiss to Big Oil & other dirty polluters. The #climatecrisis threatens our health, economy, & national security – & this reckless plan will only make it worse.

“I Have a Dream.’
He was more than a dreamer.
He was a doer.
What’s your dream that’s tied to building a more peaceful, just, humane world?
What are you doing to realize that dream?

If @USCIS truly wants to address the urgent needs of migrants at the border, it can start by reversing its unconscionable expansion of detention camps & other bad policies. Suspending asylum interviews is another cruel way to hurt families fleeing violence, persecution & poverty.
There are 40,000 pending asylum cases in New England that will essentially be frozen by @USCIS’ decision to suspend asylum interviews in Boston. This is an unfair & unjustified shift of resources that will force applicants who have been waiting for years to wait even longer.
.@USCIS’ decision to gut their New England asylum office won’t help the humanitarian crisis at the border – it will inflame it. @SenMarkey, @RepPressley & I want @USCISCuccinelli to explain why his agency is further straining our asylum backlog.
This pick for @CFPB Student Loan Ombudsman is a slap in the face to student loan borrowers in MA & across the country. They deserve better. That’s why @CFPBDirector & @stevenmnuchin1 should pick someone else with real experience fighting for students, not another industry hack.
The @CFPB Student Loan Ombudsman is supposed to protect students, but the Admin's pick was a top lawyer for @MyFedLoan – a student loan giant being sued by @MassAGO for undermining Public Service Loan Forgiveness & overcharging student borrowers.
Need proof that the Trump administration works for student loan companies & not student loan borrowers? They just appointed a former executive from a giant student loan company to be the nation’s top student loan watchdog at the @CFPB. It’s outrageous.

We can't discuss #WomensEqualityDay without pointing out the blatant voter suppression women of color and low-income backgrounds have faced, even after the 19th amendment. Women's equality starts with access to the ballot box.

Thank you @SenWarren for pushing to keep these provisions in the #FY2020NDAA! If we want to stop Trump’s nuclear arms race, we’ve got to fight for it.
When retail stores or mining companies go bankrupt, their owners should have to prioritize workers' pay so they receive the severance, pensions, & other payments they earned. That’s exactly what my bill to #StopWallStreetLooting would do.

The @CFPB has been considering proposals to expand its ability to grant companies immunity from punishment if they break consumer protection and anti-discrimination laws—some of those proposals may already be in effect.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPay 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 #wagegap! #BlackWomenCantWait @TIMESUPNOW
