Press Release

In recent years, Alexey Navalny has been jailed, harassed, poisoned, and dyed green - all in an effort to silence him and the millions of Russians who, alongside him, yearn for freedom and democracy in their country and an end to Vladimir Putin's autocratic kleptocracy.  I have no doubt that, if it turns out he was poisoned again today, the Russian people will know exactly who is responsible. 

One-hundred years ago today, the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified as a part of our Constitution, guaranteeing that women would no longer be denied the right to vote under law.  

Millions of people across our country rely on the Postal Service every day to access prescription drugs, paychecks, and other essential items for their lives.

It has now been three months since the Democratic-led House passed the Heroes Act, the next major piece of legislation to address the COVID-19 crisis and its economic impacts.

In his pathological attempt to gain an electoral advantage by sabotaging the U.S. Postal Service, President Trump is putting at risk the health and well-being of veterans, seniors, and rural Americans who rely on the Postal Service to access needed prescription drugs, Social Security checks, and essential services.

In yet another example of this President’s willful ignorance of our Constitution, the separation of powers, and the rule of law, the General Accountability Office (GAO) has now confirmed that his appointments of Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf and senior department official Ken Cuccinelli were illegal.

Eighty-five years ago today, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, ensuring that American seniors would never again have to worry about going destitute in their later years.

Today’s announcement that Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will move forward to establish diplomatic relations is a positive and important step. It is critical that Israel’s right to exist is recognized by all and that Arab countries join in accepting Israel’s permanence.
