All workers, not just CEOs, deserve fair wages and strong workplace protections.

On International Workers’ Day, let’s recognize the millions of American workers that keep our economy strong.

It’s their hard work, talent, and productivity that make our country prosperous!

On National I call on nhtsagov to quickly finalize rules based on my Hot Cars Act requiring cars to detect children left in hot cars.

Over 1,000 children have died since 1990. Enough is enough, NHTSA must act now!

I'm with you, Elizabeth Warren! We need to ensure that passengers get the refunds they are owed automatically and in cash.
 
Consumers must always come before corporate profits.

Medicare Advantage plans deny care to thousands of people each year, leading to millions of dollars in overpayments.

But, when these denials are appealed, over 80% get overturned.

We must ensure these for-profit Medicare Advantage plans prioritize patient care over profits.

I agree with Hakeem Jeffries. If Speaker Mike Johnson is serious about taking meaningful action against the historic rise of antisemitism and not just scoring cheap political points, he will bring the Bipartisan Countering Antisemitism Act to the floor.

Current federal law requires states to unjustly seek repayment of Medicaid long-term care benefits.

Imani recently lost her mother and is now at risk of losing her mother’s home.

I have a bill to ban states from going after the families of deceased Medicaid recipients.

No longer will airlines be able to profit off the harm they have caused passengers. The latest announcement from Secretary Pete Buttigieg will finally hold airlines accountable.

Now, passengers will receive automatic cash refunds when the airlines fail to deliver the promised service.

🎉 The The FCC restored !

This pro-consumer win delivers on the promise of a free, open, and democratic internet. No longer can providers slow content and raise prices on our internet access.

Access to a free and open internet isn’t a privilege, it’s a right.

Predatory factory operators are taking advantage of migrant workers who are scared and desperate while companies like Under Armour, Columbia, American Eagle, and others look the other way.

Companies need to prioritize their workers over their profits. Enough is enough.

Heartbreaking to learn of the passing of my colleague and friend, Rep. Donald Payne, Jr.

A true fighter for everyday Americans, Donald's warmth and kindness will be missed.

I'm sending my love to his family, friends, constituents, and staff during this tragic time.

🚨Huge news and a giant win for workers!

The FTC has banned noncompete agreements. This will mean $3 billion more per year in earnings for workers in Illinois.

It frees workers who are locked in unsafe conditions, receiving low wages, or suffering harassment.
