Last yearās Republican Big Ugly Law created a $25 billion school voucher program that diverts taxpayer dollars from public schools to private schools.
I helped introduce the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act, led by my good friend @RepGwenMoore, to repeal it. As a public school graduate, I know firsthand the value and importance of our public education system and will continue to fight for it.

Gas prices are still sky high. Inflation is going through the roof. And Trump says he ālovesā it. What is wrong with this man?

Republicans like Tom Tiffany are defending their voucher scheme by pointing to MPS test scores.
But how does diverting public dollars into private schools help our students?

Today marks 10 years since the Pulse Nightclub shooting. It was a truly horrific reminder of the violence faced by the LGBTQI community. Today, we remember the 49 lives taken from us.
As we celebrate Pride Month, let's honor their memories by fighting tirelessly against anti-LGBTQI hatred.

Across the country, elected officials are looking for new ways to restrict access to the ballot box. But we should all be able to agree that democracy works best when everyone participates.
That's why I'm excited to join @RepJackson and @RepRoKhanna in supporting a constitutional amendment guaranteeing every American the right to vote.

Trump just canāt get over the fact that he lost Wisconsin in 2020. Now heās trying to have the Postal Service get involved in elections to try to help him and Republicans. This is wrong and I will continue to fight this absurdity.

For an initiative that claims to be increasing efficiency, firing people and then rehiring them after realizing they were actually necessary is one of the least efficient things you can do.

Elon cut funding for Ebola prevention. Then it was never fully restored. Now there's an Ebola outbreak. This isnāt just a little mistake. Itās a major screwup that could cost thousands of people their lives.

I introduced a pretty commonsense, non-controversial amendment to study whether ICE activity has impacted farming workforce shortages. I guess my Republican colleagues didn't want to know the answer.

Congressional Republicansā new budget bill does nothing to lower your costs or stop Trumpās proposed slush fund for violent criminals.
The American people are tired of Trump taking money out of their pockets and handing it to his corrupt and criminal allies.

I love the inflation???
Trump doesn't give a flying fā¢ck about you.
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

House Republicans are trying to gut the funding for the National Labor Relations Board, which enforces workers' rights to unionize and investigates unfair labor practices.
As a small business owner of a union printing shop for more than 3 decades, I explain why these cuts arenāt pro-business, theyāre simply pro-inefficient.

The Supreme Court has enormous power over our daily lives. But who holds the Court accountable? What needs reform? And how do ordinary people help create change?
@Steve_vladeck, Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center and a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts, discusses these topics and more with me on my podcast, With Liberty & Justice for Some.

The wealth of the world's billionaires has exploded to more than $20 trillion.
Yet many billionaires pay a lower tax rate than teachers and nurses. We need to tax the rich!
"Fifteen years ago, the worldās billionaires collectively had $4.5 trillion. By 2024, their wealth had more than tripled to $14.2 trillion. Now, their combined wealth totals $20.1 trillionāan amount that is equivalent to nearly a fifth of the entire worldās total yearly output."

Trump's policies are making Social Security's funding shortfall arrive sooner than expected.
Speaker Johnson could make the wealthy pay but instead heās giving them tax breaks.
