Four years ago, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law—lowering prescription drug costs, creating good-paying jobs and making historic investments to address the climate crisis.

Now, Trump is dismantling that progress, raising costs and prioritizing polluters over America’s next generation.

Today marks 91 years of Social Security—a pillar of opportunity and peace of mind for generations of Americans.

Trump and RFK Jr. are gutting Head Start—stripping away standards for class sizes, early education and health screenings that protect our nation’s most vulnerable children.

Apparently, even preschoolers aren’t safe from the Trump Administration’s cruelty.

The Department of Health and Human Services' proposed rule would remove certain federal requirements governing the 61-year-old program.

Four years ago, Democrats’ PACT Act was signed into law—the largest expansion of Veterans health care and benefits in a generation.

Four years ago, President Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law—creating good-paying jobs and supercharging American innovation.

Donald Trump promised a golden age. Instead, his reckless economic policies are destroying jobs, driving up costs and devastating working families.

Today’s disastrous jobs report is the latest proof that the Trump economy has failed the American people.

Businesses shed 23,000 jobs in July in the face of renewed tariffs and higher costs driven by war in the Middle East.

61 years ago, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law—enacting a pillar of American civil rights.

From the courts to the Congress, Republicans have repeatedly fought to gut this landmark legislation ever since.

It's past time to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and ensure the right to vote is protected for generations to come.

Yesterday, I had the joy of joining the incredible students and staff at Booker T. Washington Community Service Center's Freedom School for Harambee, where they filled the room with songs and smiles.

Their boundless optimism was a reminder that our mission has always been, and will always be, For The Children.
