Press Releases
"We are glad to see President Trump sign an Executive Order to establish an Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection at the VA that Democrats have long-championed.
"The internet must be a level playing field where success is founded on the best ideas, not the deepest pockets. Yet once again, the Trump Administration is acting to stack the deck for the powerful special interests and against the interest of the public.
"Dismantling net neutrality will chill competition, hurt consumers, and punish entrepreneurs. A month after allowing internet service providers to sell Americans' private browsing history and intimate personal information, the Administration is moving to destroy the openness and dynamism of the internet.
"Our major concerns in these negotiations have been about funding for the wall and uncertainty about the CSR payments crucial to the stability of the marketplaces under the Affordable Care Act. We've now made progress on both of these fronts.
"More progress needs to be made on some of our priorities, and we continue to be concerned about poison pill riders that are still in this legislation. Our appropriators are working in good faith toward a bipartisan proposal to keep government open."
"TrumpCare means higher costs, less coverage, gutting key protections, a crushing age tax, and stealing from Medicare – and Republicans continue to make it even more cruel and costly for America's families.
"On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of six million Jews who were murdered because of who they were and what they believed; we listen to the stories and wisdom shared by those who survived; and we rededicate ourselves to uphold a sacred promise that ‘never again' will the world stand silent in the face of anti-Semitism, hatred, and bigotry.
"Holocaust Remembrance Day requires us to carry forward the message of those forever silenced. We honor the memories of the millions of Jews and others targeted by the Nazis and their collaborators by ensuring no nation ever again commits the savage brutality born of hatred and xenophobia that claimed the lives of men, women, and children.
