We are now risking lives and actively letting people die because they can't afford inhalers. Why? Because insurance companies are emboldened to not cover them under Trump. Cole Schmidtknecht died because of price-gouging — and he didn't have to.

Children should never have to experience — no less witness — their loved ones being ripped away from them. Abusing people’s trust as they attend their immigration appointments and comply with legal process is unconscionable. Enough is enough.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Maryland passed its ban on military-style assault weapons after the Sandy Hook massacre. It's the type of common-sense gun safety law that we need to save lives and prevent mass shootings. SCOTUS should continue to allow lifesaving laws like Maryland's to remain in place.
