Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

Veterans who served at Fort Ord, a military base with dangerous toxic pollution, deserve access to care and compensation for sickness caused by their service.
I secured an additional study into contaminants on base so they can qualify for benefits. Our veterans deserve justice.

House Republicans used today's hearing on
@Interior
's budget request to complain about maintenance delays and backlogs.
But last year, Republicans slashed the agency's funding—which puts more projects on hold and reduces staff.
You can’t have it both ways,

Before 2008, Congress missed red flags on Wall Street.
Last year, Washington was shocked when 3 banks failed.
Too often, Congress ignores financial warning signs. Today, I sounded the alarm on the commercial real estate market's risk of collapse—which would hurt all Americans.

Congress should make it easier for Americans to get refunds for canceled flights, not harder.
Last year, airlines spent tens of millions lobbying Washington to prevent new protections for travelers, and now this language pads corporate profits at families' expense.
Last week,
@USDOT
gave consumers a win with new rules to force airlines to automatically refund passengers in cash when flights are canceled.
But a line buried on pg. 429 of the new FAA bill says passengers would still have to jump through hoops to get the refunds they deserve.

Americans’ taxpayer dollars shouldn’t fund human rights abuses—and the Leahy Laws are supposed to keep that from happening. Each country we assist should receive the same scrutiny under the same standards. That’s not happening.

Affordable child care would help parents stay in the workforce, strengthen our economy, and better educate the next generation.
But, House Republicans—and structural sexism in Washington—are stifling our economy, hurting all Americans.

Big Pharma's drug ads have a lot of info—benefits, dosage, and potential side effects—but not the price. When I called out this deceptive tactic, an industry lobbyist doubled down!
@RepNikema
and I introduced the Plain Prescription Prices Act to get Americans transparency.
Big Pharma's new PR campaign blames the middlemen that negotiate drug costs for lack of transparency, but the pharmaceutical industry opposes price transparency in its own marketing.
You can't have it both ways. If you believe in price transparency, let's see you lead the way.

I love visiting independent bookstores: as a Congressperson touring a small business, as an author connecting with readers, and as a customer. Celebrate

A shortage of 7 million affordable homes didn’t happen overnight; it happened because leaders in Washington keep kicking the can down the road.
Californians are counting on policymakers to deliver housing they can afford.

Americans want our leaders to crack down on corporate abuse—and
@POTUS
is listening.
I proposed my Choices for Stranded Airline Passengers Act last year to guarantee travelers a prompt refund when flights are delayed or canceled. I'm thrilled
@USDOT
is making this happen!
BREAKING: Airlines will now have to pay you when they mess up.
The Department of Transportation has issued a new rule requiring airlines to give you an automatic refund if your flight is canceled or delayed or if they lose your bags.
It’s a game changer for U.S. travel.

Noncompete clauses prevent employees from taking a better job or starting a business within their industry. This keeps wages low, hurts employees, and discourages competition.
Today’s move by
@FTC
to ban these harmful contracts will help workers and our economy thrive.
The Federal Trade Commission banned noncompete agreements for most U.S. workers Tuesday with a new rule that will bar employers from enforcing clauses that restrict workers from switching employers within their industry.

For decades, Big Oil had the upper hand to lease public lands for oil and gas drilling.
Now, thanks to
@POTUS
, leases for conservation work will be treated the same. I advocated for this new rule so we can protect habitats and preserve our public lands for generations to come.
The Interior Department finalized a rule that puts conservation on equal footing with mining, grazing and drilling on public lands across the country.
