We are moments away from a Senate vote on my Right to Contraception Act. Americans will remember who took action to protect their reproductive rights. They will remember who voted yes.
Dear GOP candidates: right now we tax the first $150k of everyone’s earnings which goes to SS. But we don’t tax what people make after that—that’s why a cop and a firefighter pay on every dollar and a hedge fund guy doesn’t. If you fix that it could extend solvency.

You know, every time I hear someone suggest raising the Social Security retirement age, I think: there’s someone who didn’t work construction all their life. Who didn’t carry little kids around as a preschool teacher. Who didn’t help patients in and out of beds as a nurse.
Public safety does not begin with policing. Public safety begins with investments in community.
