    When financial traders take big risks, it's working families who take the hit. By taxing financial transactions, we can rein in greed, protect our financial system, and put that money toward investments in our communities. No-brainer.

    We need to talk about wealth inequality in America, and how institutional racism determines who can thrive—or survive—in the first place. With climate change disproportionately threatening low-income and minority communities, we can't ignore this.

    Day is today, March 5. Think about that: It's taken more than two months for AAPI women to make as much as what white men made in 2018. This isn't just an injustice, it's a massive economic damper. Let's pass the Act.

    I was the first member of Congress to make my official meetings public, I release my tax returns every year, I wrote the STOCK Act, and now I'm fighting for the CLEAR Act. Rooting out corruption from our government has been my priority since day one, and it always will be.

    Every American should be able to access the full range of reproductive health care they need, including abortion, and neither the president nor any other politician should be able to interfere with that. Full stop.

    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.
    Today I announced I'm not running for president & instead focusing on taking back the Senate. We need all branches of government to be partners in the battles ahead. Please consider making a grassroots donation to my campaign. Onward!

    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.
