    7 months after Democrats took bold action to provide COVID relief , the GOP finally agreed to a down payment on plans to & put money in people’s pockets. More help is needed. Will McCarthy, McConnell & Republicans reject $2000 for Americans in crisis?

    A former Secretary of the Interior once proclaimed it his goal to “civilize or exterminate” Indigenous people. I’m a living testament to the failure of that horrific ideology. I’m here on the shoulders of my ancestors and all the people who have sacrificed.

  21. 1 in 4 children in our country don’t know what their next meal will be. People are suffering, they're calling our offices weeping. Families are mourning. This is the wealthiest country in the world and our government is not providing what they need. We need NOW.
