  • As many as 10 million people in the individual market have pre-existing health conditions and may lose federal protections against discrimination due to the Trump administration’s legal actions against the Affordable Care Act.
  • Saddling our students with $1.5 trillion in debt is setting up our future generations to fail. Most of my staffers are still paying off their debt. The system is broken and Congress must step up and fix it .
  • How many textbooks could we have bought? How much extra could we have put into opioid relief or hurricane recovery? These gimmicks to stoke fears and gin up the vote is going to get people killed.
  • I wonder how much it cost to unnecessarily move thousands of troops to the border... all to “protect” us from the hundreds of women and children desperately seeking asylum.
  • Proud to have voted against every single Republican attempt to take away pre-existing conditions from millions of Americans. Proud to vote .
  • The “Enemy of the People” are leaders who spew racism, peddle lies and propagate fear.
  • Los Angeles stands with Pittsburgh.
