    Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez have risked their lives to come forward and tell their stories. Republican Senators, their staff and the Trump administration must stop disparaging these brave women and treat them with respect.

    PhRMA lobbying to increase the price of life-saving prescription drugs for seniors in a bill to help address the opioid epidemic is a perfect example of what is wrong with Washington D.C.

    On behalf of our 38 million members, we strongly urge Congress to stand up to PhRMA and reject any attempts to reverse the Part D donut hole deal. Any change to the current law will simply be a windfall for the pharmaceutical industry that will only raise seniors’ drug costs.

    The President's statement to discredit Christine Blasey Ford is sexist, outrageous and based on ignorance. Dr. Blasey is a credible person who has made a very serious allegation. She must be treated with respect and not face intimidation.

    Trump's former chief economic advisor Gary Cohn seems to have a bit of amnesia. He recently asked the question, "What laws were broken?" when asked about the big banks who crashed our economy in 2008. Let's refresh his memory:

    If Scotland can demand that Amazon get off corporate welfare and pay its workers a living wage, then so can the US. Now is the time for people to come together around the world to take on the greed of the oligarchs.

    Mr. Pompeo: human lives are worth far more than defense contractor profits. We must end America's involvement in this disastrous and unconstitutional war. The Senate must also investigate this effort to mislead us.
