  1. Our Founding Fathers drafted the Bill of Rights to safeguard our freedoms in the physical world. Today, as Americans are living more of their lives online, the digital age demands that we have new rights to protect our freedoms in the cyber world.

  2. I’m proud to be an original cosponsor of H.R.1, the For the People Act, to make it easier not harder, for Americans to take part in our Democracy. We must protect the integrity of our elections and modernize our methods, and this bill will accomplish that.

    Happy New Year! This year my resolution is to keep fighting for Medicare for all, a $15 minimum wage, and a Green New Deal, policies that will help working families, grow our economy and leave this world better for our children than how we found it.

  6. I wish I could say I'm shocked by revelations that Saudis are using child soldiers from Sudan to fight their war in Yemen, but we know the Saudi regime has been guilty of war crimes. We must end our support for this war immediately.

  7. PayGo would be a terrible policy that unilaterally disarms the incoming Democratic majority’s ability to govern. Rather than pursue cuts to programs we support, we should stand on our principles and argue that our policies would lead to economic growth

  8. The War in Syria was illegal under U.S. law and international law. We should criticize how the president has conducted the withdrawal, but we must be consistent in opposing illegal military action abroad.

  9. In today's age of automation and globalization, where work is sometimes seasonal and hours are often curtailed, my bill, the GAIN Act, provides every hard-working American with a fair income for their work.

    Excellent op-ed on Syria and Afghanistan. In these wars, opposition to a "precipitous withdrawal" is tantamount to opposition to withdrawal.

  16. “Wall Street loves buybacks because they artificially inflate earnings and backstop prices by providing a price-insensitive buyer.” In other words, Trump’s tax cut did nothing to help the average American, but instead enriched those already on top.

  18. We need to understand the digital divide between rural and urban/suburban American so we can craft legislation to fix it. I look forward to leading this effort in the House.
