  On Juneteenth we reflect on America’s history of slavery and what it has meant for our country. It is also a day to look forward and recommit ourselves to the fight for civil rights, voting rights, and social and economic justice.

  The President’s war with Iran was a mistake. The MOU is the price the President must pay to get us out of this unauthorized war before it further damages our economy and costs more lives. (1/2)

  Schools are cutting Olympic sports programs & dropping scholarships. We can & should write better rules that put athletes first & keep our institutions strong. That is exactly what the Protect College Sports Act does. Thank you USOPC for voicing support!

  An inflation rate of 4.2% is too high for American households to endure. Rising energy prices because of the war with Iran is the biggest reason the cost of living is going up and this Administration has no plan to deal with it.
