It's official: The White House wants to cut funding for the 988 LGBTQ+ suicide and crisis hotline for kids. Make no mistake: this cruelty could cost young lives. We need to keep fighting back.

"No recording on the premises" it was a PRESS CONFERENCE. He was dragged out of a room FULL of cameras. They don't want you to see this. They want to hide this from the public because they know it's wrong. This is despicable, it's what we expect in dictatorships not in America.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.

Trump’s decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal just because he hated Obama was obviously a huge mistake at the time and has metastasized into this disaster

Mayor Baraka was right to question the conditions of Delaney Hall. Greater oversight of our detention facilities is clearly needed, and Congress should immediately investigate GEO Group’s other facilities and contracts. Taxpayers, who footed the bill for GEO Group’s $1 billion

📍Delaney Hall in City of Newark with Senator Andy Kim. 📢 We performed an oversight visit after yesterday’s concerning reports. Everything we learned today confirmed what we knew: private detention centers put profits above all else. 🚨During our visit, GEO execs showed up

Reports are coming in that Delaney Hall did not have adequate food, had serious plumbing problems, and was structurally unsound which allowed 4 detainees to escape. This crisis was predictable and these problems likely would have been identified if they’d let city inspectors in

The private prison industry creates perverse incentives to lock up as many people as possible while doing it as cheaply as possible cutting corners to put more money in investor and CEO pockets while putting detainees and the public at risk. We must end the use of for-profit

The problems at Delaney Hall require a thorough investigation into GeoGroups failings to secure detainees and provide basic services. Today Rep. LaMonica McIver McIver, Rep. Rob Menendez, and I sent a letter to Oversight Committee Chair Comer and Ranking Member Lynch calling on them to open

Bill and I are praying for the families of those targeted in this horrific attack and the entire Minnesota community at this frightening time. We must all come together to condemn this politically motivated violence. It has no place in a healthy democracy.

In the midst of a rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation, rhetoric, and violence it’s more important than ever to “become so very free that your whole existence is an act of rebellion.” Be fully, authentically, unapologetically you. Rain could not dampen the spirit of the Princeton

America250’s mission is to ‘engage, educate, and unite.’ That mission has been hijacked by Donald Trump. It is unfortunate that what was meant to unite the country and honor its history has been twisted into yet another scheme for his own personal gain. America’s 250th

The American people have a long history of standing tall and demanding their rights. Those protesting at today’s #NoKings rallies join a long lineage of Americans who have said “enough is enough” or “Ya basta” or “not in my name” or “live free or die.” Trump’s plan is to drown

A family in Georgia was denied their right to make medical decisions for their daughter due to to the state's cruel and shortsighted "heartbeat law." This is the result of passing legislation without thought to how it will impact women. Now the family carries the immense
