    As the Feb. 3 Iowa caucus approaches, Iowans face a choice. Are we going to settle for a status quo that is leaving so many behind? Or are we going to come together to finally transform our country so that our government works for all of us?

    . telling it like it is. Our bail system is racist and classist. Allowing people to stay in their homes with access to housing, employment, to health care, doesn't come at the expense of safety, it is the source of safety.
    Our cash bail system is a disgrace that disproportionately hurts Black, Brown and poor Americans. New York did the right thing by reforming its bail law and must not go backwards.…

    Our cash bail system is a disgrace that disproportionately hurts Black, Brown and poor Americans. New York did the right thing by reforming its bail law and must not go backwards. When we are in the White House, we will end cash bail nationally.

    I was proud to stand with in their strike to win the school resources Chicago's students deserve. Chicago Public Schools must live up to their agreement, bargain in good faith and give veteran teachers the respect they have earned.
    Our strike forced CPS to recognize veteran teacher contributions, and make countless other improvements for schools. As soon as members voted to ratify, the district broke our deal, demanding that most of the $25 million be paid in one-time bonuses, not added to base salaries.

    No Child Left Behind became law 18 years ago today. I voted against it, and that was the right vote. High stakes testing has robbed students of the joys of learning and adds to teacher burnout. We need a system where kids can learn in a holistic manner.

    Today 45 million Americans owe some $1.6 trillion in student loan debt. If the middle class could bail out Wall Street, Wall Street can bail out the middle class. We'll cancel student debt and pay for it with a tax on Wall Street.

    We must not view America only as a population of disconnected individuals. We must view ourselves as part of “an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny,” as Dr. King put it. That is how we'll realize our vision of justice and dignity for all.

    10,000 Americans died waiting for Social Security Disability Insurance in 2017. Instead of addressing this crisis, Trump wants to make it harder for people with disabilities to get the help they need to get by. Unacceptable. We must protect and expand SSDI and SSI.
    The Trump administration wants to spend $1.8 billion on taking away $2 billion in benefits from disabled people
