Intentionally shortchanging the VA so it will fail in its mission and can be privatized for profit is disgraceful. On my watch, Americans who served their country will not be abandoned at home just so Big Money can make an extra buck. Learn more
For starters, members of Congress and their spouses must be banned from purchasing, selling, or holding individual stocks for the duration of their time in office. Because of their committee assignments, these members have access to nonpublic information enabling them to trade stocks before such information becomes widely known. Learn more
Despite the strong support of regular people to transform the Court away from an unaccountable, quasi-political body, the Court refuses to regulate itself, and hardcore partisans defend the inherent corruption. Congress must impose enforceable ethical standards to increase accountability and transparency. Learn more

Social Security and Medicare, two of the most successful programs in American history, are a promise that after a lifetime of hard work, regular people will not be left struggling in old age or when facing serious illness. Keeping these programs strong is a moral obligation and practical necessity for economic stability and the dignity of the millions counting on them. Learn more
Big Money bought the ability to create their preferred tax system that helps the rich get richer at the expense of everyday Americans. It’s long past time for the ultra-rich to pay their fair share once again, like they had to in the 1960s. Learn more
We must set aside partisan grandstanding and engage in honest budgeting with effects-based investing that strengthens our economy so we don’t pass down a bill to the next generation.
