    When MLK Jr. was murdered fifty years ago today, he was planning a Poor People’s March on Washington. He spoke these words the night before he was assassinated. In the spirit of Dr. King, we must continue to fight for a future where no American is left behind.

    As someone who took out nearly $100k in loans, I know how hard it can be for young people to get ahead when the cost of college has outpaced the median household income. I've been fortunate, but many others are saddled with debt their whole life. We need Debt-free public college.

    While Oklahoma teachers are some of the lowest paid in the country and their schools continue to suffer huge funding cuts, the state is considering spending $800m on building two more prisons. This is why the is so necessary. Education not incarceration.

    Watching news anchors give the same politically charged statement across hundreds of networks is scary enough, but do you know what’s even worse? If the Sinclair-Tribune merger is approved, that same company will be able to reach 72 percent of American households.

    The question is simple: Are you for banning the AR-15 which has been used to inflict maximum casualties in Parkland, Las Vegas, Orlando, Newtown and so many other horrific mass shootings or will you stay silent as these automatic weapons continue to be allowed in our communities?

    For too long, our elected officials have worked for the interests of the donors & lobbyists that flood our system with campaign contributions. I started the No PAC caucus and refuse corporate donations because we were elected to represent our constituents, not special interests.

    John Bolton is a dangerous proponent of the “regime change” doctrine which has led to billions wasted on endless wars and millions of lives needlessly lost. With Bolton at national security adviser, Congress must move immediately to limit Trump’s ability to use military force.

    Dr. King was influenced by the civil disobedience of Gandhi’s Quit India Independence Movement which my grandfather participated in. I have always been moved by these words.

    This chilling video shows what the corporate consolidation of our local news looks like. Allowing even more mega-mergers like Sinclair-Tribune would be extremely dangerous to our democracy.

    Less than a year before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a prophetic speech about the three evils of society. To honor his legacy, we must continue the fight against systemic racism, economic inequality, and our foreign policy of interventionism.

    On April 4th, 1968, America lost a brave, moral visionary for justice and equality. Five decades later and there’s still so much work to be done. Let's fight for an America where people are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    What is infuriating about the shooting at YouTube is it was preventable gun violence. We need laws that allow the police to take guns away from an individual who may do harm to themselves & the community when their own family members report that threat. This is common sense.

    Assad is an evil, brutal dictator. But our call for regime change overextended our military. The last thing our country can afford is another war in the Middle East. A war with Iran would be a terrible idea.

    1/2) Progressive Dems should applaud this & be relieved that the Tillerson/Bolton neocon view of leaving troops there to deal with Iran and Hezbollah is not winning out. Our nation simply cannot afford another war with Iran in the Middle East.

    Mitt, this is why you never became President. At your core, you’re a phony. Americans hate phonies. Ask Holden Caulfield.

    Trump’s move to ban Americans with “gender dysphoria” from our armed forces is just another version of the transgender ban. This discriminatory policy goes against everything our country stands for and must be stopped.

    Congressman bravely pushed through a ban on military assistance to ’s Neo-Nazi Azov (you know, the guys with the SS Wolfsangel insignias). Now a disgusting piece in The Hill smears him as a Russian dupe and implies he’s a traitor
