Americans don't want war. They want affordable healthcare, groceries, and energy. The Trump administration cut billions of dollars from programs that lower costs for Americans. Now they want taxpayers to fund another war in the Middle East with no exit strategy in sight.
Americans will see higher prices for energy in the weeks ahead.
I visited Cheyney University — the oldest HBCU in the nation — to meet with leadership, faculty, and students about the challenges facing higher-ed institutions and to hear how Cheyney is working to enhance the student experience through internships and other workforce development efforts on campus.
Donald Trump has done nothing to prove that his military actions in Iran — unauthorized by Congress — make Americans safer or the region more stable. The people of Iran deserve peace and democracy, but the United States must support these goals without plunging our nation into another endless war.
I was honored to address Faithful Resistance: A Public Witness for Immigrant Justice, an interfaith & ecumenical gathering of >1,200 leaders who united for a day of worship & peaceful advocacy at the Capitol to call upon this admin for humane treatment of immigrants, refugees, & asylum seekers.
Instead of listening to the President's lies, I'm here at the People’s State of the Union to talk about how this administration's effort to put the rich and powerful above the needs of Americans is impacting you.
Most people held in ICE detention centers have no criminal record. Detainees are deprived of life and liberty and placed in unsafe and inhumane conditions. DHS's plan to use warehouses to hold humans is unconscionable. These facilities have no place in PA or anywhere else.
Democrats will introduce a bill that would bar DHS opening new immigration detention centers without state and local officials’ consent. “Our new bill responds directly to the concerns we’ve heard from local officials," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said.
If you are an American citizen currently in Mexico, please follow guidance issued by the U.S. Embassy and local authorities. U.S. citizens who need assistance may contact the U.S. government using the numbers below:
This decision is a win for the American people. The President placed an illegal tax on Americans for months, raising prices across our country. If the President stands by his disastrous tariff policy, it's because he doesn't care about lowering costs for American families.
President Trump says he will impose a 10% global tariff on top of those remaining in place after the Supreme Court ruling striking down emergency tariffs. https://cnn.it/4rss3IS
The collapse of the Crozer health care system and the DC Republicans' refusal to extend the ACA tax credits mean that local health clinics like ChesPenn face a rise in uninsured patients & growing challenges to maintaining comprehensive services, particularly for patients requiring maternity care.
The engaged audience of seniors & high school students raised great issues about the cost of living, the need for Congress to act as a check on the White House, the DHS shutdown, & strategies for civic engagement.
