Grateful to the residents and staff at The Friendly Home for a great conversation.

We discussed Social Security, Medicare, and other issues impacting seniors in our community. I'll keep working to protect the benefits older Americans have earned.

After all of this, not one problem the president promised to solve in Iran has been solved.

Instead, Donald Trump is trying to sign a deal before members of Congress and the American public even have a chance to see it, all to fix the problems he created.

Social Security is a promise millions of Americans have earned through a lifetime of work.

It is more important than ever for Congress to take action. I'll keep fighting to protect Social Security and strengthen the security families depend on.

Tens of millions of retirees and other Americans could see smaller monthly Social Security checks in six years if lawmakers don’t act to shore up the program’s finances, according to an annual report released Tuesday by Social Security’s trustees.

Under the Trump Administration we've lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs and unemployment continues to rise.

These are the facts, despite what Trump likes to believe. Americans deserve better.
