In America today, wealth inequality has become so extreme that the top 1% now own as much stock and mutual funds as the bottom 99% combined.

No democracy is sustainable when so few have so much while so many have so little.

We need an economy that works for all, not the 1%.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

Trump's bombing of Venezuela, kidnapping of Maduro & attempt to run the country are brazen violations of our Constitution & int'l law.

It will endanger US lives, destabilize the region, & cost us billions of dollars.

Congress must stop this endless war & hold Trump accountable.

Rep Ayanna Pressley stands with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. She holds a sign that reads “Stop protecting pedophiles.”

I’m thinking of our survivor community this week as more Epstein files are circulated.

Every day that passes without transparency and accountability is another day we’re forced to face the cruelty of a country that protects predators over survivors.

Please know I will never stop fighting for you.
