    Afghanistan is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. In yesterday's hearing I called on the Biden administration to provide legal pathways for NGOs to be able to continue delivering life-saving aid to the Afghan people despite sanctions on the Taliban.

    Politicians should work for the people—not for the powerful! That’s why I’m fighting to stop billionaires from buying elections with dark money and to give power back to the people. I’m calling on all my Senate colleagues to join me—and to pass this with or without a filibuster.

    Protecting every American’s shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It's about preserving access to the ballot box and making it easier for folks to make their voices heard in the decisions that impact their lives. That's what we're fighting for. We will get this passed.
