    Congress must restore the protections against racial discrimination in voting that destroyed in 2013. Building a government that is representative of ALL its people is critical to our ability to solve some of our country’s most pressing challenges.

    We have a rich history of voter suppression. The mistake is to think that it's something of the past. Modern-day voting discrimination – like voter purging, poll closures & strict voter ID – prevent too many eligible voters from casting a ballot. We must .

    54 years ago today, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, the country's most important civil rights law. 2016 was the first presidential election in 50 years without the law’s full protections.

    It’s been nine years since the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate money to pour into our politics and corrupt our democracy. It’s time to overturn with a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

    BREAKING: The Senate just introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn . 40 senators have signed on and the House bill already has more than 130 cosponsors. Winning the progressive agenda is predicated on winning this fight.

    Tell him, Chairman! This president wants to distract with his racism so he can avoid accountability for his corruption. is doing his job holding this administration accountable and bringing down healthcare costs, something the President wouldn’t understand.

    Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors. It is my constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. But, it is my moral duty to fight for my constituents.

    McConnell just blocked two election security bills, not even 24 hours after Mueller said Russians are meddling in our elections “as we sit here.” Meanwhile, lobbyists from the two largest voting machine vendors in the U.S. are writing him checks.

    It shouldn't reflect on Mueller that he didn't light himself on fire to dramatize a report detailing an attack on our democracy and a President's efforts to obstruct the investigation. It should reflect on us that theatrics are needed to attract attention to something like this.
