Trump's New Proposal Is Another Attempt by the Government to Control Women's Bodies The new Title X rule is right-wing ideology disguised as health policy. President Trump and Vice President Pence are trying to control women and shut down Planned Parenthood and other Title X providers that offer critical reproductive healthcare.

The Republican tax plan puts rich donors ahead of working families The Republican Party's rich donors want tax giveaways, and the party is happy to oblige. According to estimates based on the original outline of the Republican tax plan, it showers $2.5 trillion on big corporations. Fewer than 10 years after sparking a devastating financial crisis and receiving billions of dollars in taxpayer bailouts, big banks would reap billions from the Republican plan.

Washington Works Great for Those With Money and Power Student loans. Social Security. Minimum wage. Government matters. We the people need a government that works for the people. This isn't about big government versus small government. This is about whether we're going to have a government that works only for the rich and powerful, or a government that works for everyone.

Enough Is Enough: The President's Latest Wall Street Nominee One of the biggest and most public corporate inversions last summer was the deal cut by Burger King to slash its tax bill by purchasing the Canadian company Tim Hortons and then "inverting" the American company to Canadian ownership. And Weiss was right there, working on Burger King's tax deal.

The Notorious RBG Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn't show up to work every day thinking about how she can bend the law to help giant corporations and powerful interests -- she helps defend fundamental, constitutional rights for everyone.

This Congress doesn't work for you The big Republican donors are popping champagne today. This 500-page bill is a massive tax giveaway to billionaires and giant corporations, paid for by America's working families. It attacks college students. It sabotages the Affordable Care Act and threatens health care for millions of Americans. It opens up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling in Alaska. And who knows what else is buried in there?

The Year Bonnie Attacked the Turkey Bonnie the Cocker Spaniel was a saint -- or so we thought, until Thanksgiving came around. I came flying in to see sweet little Bonnie in full-on attack mode, tearing the cold-but-not-frozen bird to pieces. My first concern was Bonnie, who was snarling like a crazed werewolf. My second concern was the turkey, which was now unrecognizable.

Donald Trump sold out to Big Oil It's bad enough that EPA Director Scott Pruitt and the Trump administration deny the existence of climate change. They're also threatening to make things worse, with a reckless plan to expand offshore drilling to 90% of United States coastal waters.

We failed to keep them safe Today is the three-year anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School -- an anniversary that will be seared into my brain for as long as I live. It isn't enough to remember--we need to act. We must show that we are as committed to gun safety as the NRA is committed to putting guns in the hands of people who endanger all of us.

There are three ways to remake the American economy for all Every American deserves a fighting chance. A fighting chance to launch an invention that can change the world. A fighting chance to open a small business that becomes a local institution. A fighting chance to work in a job that provides fair pay and basic benefits. A fighting chance to build something without seeing all the benefits snapped up by the rich and powerful who know how to twist every rule.

The 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act would reduce the risk of another crash David beat Goliath with the passage of Dodd-Frank. David beat Goliath when we fought for and established a strong consumer agency. And David can also beat Goliath on "too big to fail." Five years after the financial crisis, we just have to pick up the slingshot again.

Nevertheless, we persist. This fight isn't about me -- it's about all of us. This is our moment in history. Not the moment we wanted, but the moment we are called to. Donald Trump may call us names. Mitch McConnell might tell us to sit down and shut up. But we will not give up and go home. We will resist. We will persist. And we will win.

Trump's #metoo joke Donald Trump is still obsessed with the idea that he can shut me up. He really should know better by now. I can handle a bully. But here's the really creepy part: In the same breath, he mocked the entire #MeToo movement. He mocked women who are bravely coming forward and saying that they've been harassed and abused by guys just like Donald Trump.

My plan to provide comprehensive debt relief to Puerto Rico Comprehensive debt relief is essential to Puerto Rico's recovery. It is the only way for the island to get out from under the thumb of Wall Street speculators. It is the only way to stabilize the island and allow its people to reclaim their future. Together, we can make it happen.

Inch by Inch The President's policy proposal, known as "chained CPI," would re-calculate the cost of living for Social Security beneficiaries. That new number won't keep up with inflation on things like food and health care -- the basics that we need to live. In short, "chained CPI" is just a fancy way to say "cut benefits for seniors, the permanently disabled, and orphans."

Never afraid The Supreme Court has now struck down a key section of the Voting Rights Act. Too many young men have died in police custody. And the grinding heel of poverty has borne down harder on children of color. We celebrate the brave people of Selma, but it is up to US to make change now. The power of Selma is hope -- hope that change can happen.

Women will stop Trump. Donald Trump's comments about sexually assaulting women are obscene. So gross that even the Republican Party is tripping over itself to feign outrage. Some GOP candidates are in panic mode, even announcing that they'll vote instead for Mike Pence -- an extremist governor infamous for trying to defund Planned Parenthood and pass some of the most outrageous anti-abortion legislation in the country.

Never in a Million Years Today, we have 20 women in the United States Senate. Last fall during one of my hearings on student debt, the room actually stopped and cheered when Amy Klobuchar noted that five women senators were running the hearing -- with no men. It's a good start, but let's be honest: 50 women in the Senate would be a lot better.
