This should be a national scandal.
A carcinogenic color additive that can cause cancer is in our food.
Red 3 can be found in hundreds of candies like candy corn, cakes, and other foods.
It’s already banned in cosmetics.
Why the hell hasn’t the FDA banned it from our food yet?

I have the toughest bill in Congress—and the only bipartisan bill in the Senate—to ban Members of Congress and their spouses from buying, selling, and owning individual stocks.
There is no reason not to have a Congressional stock trading ban on the floor now. Let's pass it.

President Biden should #CancelStudentDebt to: help narrow the racial wealth gap among borrowers, provide relief to the 40% of borrowers who never got to finish their degree, and give working families the chance to buy their first home or save for retirement. It’s the right thing.

Because of the Inflation Reduction Act, giant corporations that often pay little or no federal taxes will be required to pay a 15% minimum.
Democrats will use this tax revenue to lower costs like energy & health care for working families.
You don’t get what you don’t fight for.

Corporations are price-gouging their way to BILLIONS in profits while paying LOWER tax rates than workers.
Thanks to Democrats, the Inflation Reduction Act will make greedy, billion-dollar corporations pay a 15% minimum tax!

Excited about the prospect of the Inflation Reduction Act to help our country get closer to tax fairness. Ensuring no company making more than a billion in profits pays zero taxes is a HUGE step. We can fund healthcare and climate change fixes when we #TaxCorporateGreed.

The Inflation Reduction Act is also the largest climate investment in U.S. history.
Democrats are relieving short-term pain and addressing long-term costs.
A win-win opposed by every Republican.

Giant corporations don’t pay workers enough to keep up with inflation, pay little to nothing in taxes & price gouge consumers—all while jacking up CEO pay.
We need to raise the minimum wage, pass a corporate minimum tax & crack down on price gouging.

Americans spend 13 hours and $240 on average to file their taxes—while corporations like @Intuit rake in billions. That’s outrageous.
Today I'm leading 22 colleagues on legislation to make filing taxes free and easy for taxpayers. The IRS itself can and should adopt my plan.

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.
It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.
People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

Think about this. Are we truly a democracy when you've got a handful of billionaires able to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to elect candidates who represent the interests of the wealthy? Is that really the kind of democracy we want? I don't think so.

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
