We are going to fight to pass the long over-due Equal Rights Amendment.

I think too many of my Republican friends are into perpetual warfare in the Middle East. And that scares the bejesus out of me.

This is what income inequality means in America, and why the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider.

We must create an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.

We need to demilitarize local police departments so that they do not look like occupying armies. We want police departments that look like the communities they are serving.

In my view, it is not a question of Trump having won the election, it's a question of Democrats having lost the election. Democrats need a strong progressive agenda which says to the working class of this country, we are going the stand and fight for you, we're going to raise the minimum wage, pay equity for women, we're going to rebuild the infrastructure, and we're going to guarantee health care to all people as a right. We're going to make public colleges and universities tuition-free.
