If Paramount can shell out billions of dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, then they can pay their unionized CBS staff a fair wage. I stand with the CBS staff who walked out today as they fight these corporate giants for essential protections and fair contracts.

My prayers are with the loved ones of the 6 American service members killed in a KC-135 crash in western Iraq yesterday. Every life lost is an immeasurable tragedy. We can and must end Trump’s war.

I'm devastated by the antisemitic attack at one of our nation's largest reform synagogues. My heart is with the entire Temple Israel congregation. Antisemitism has no place in our country. We owe it to our Jewish siblings to stamp it out and ensure they can worship without fear.

Happy International Women’s Day! I’m honored to be part of a legacy of women who pushed forward together to achieve the impossible. Today we celebrate the tenacity of those who made our progress possible, and the resolve it will take to create a better world for our children.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

AOC: This is about Congress’ willingness to take on some of the biggest industries that have preyed upon the American people. Everyday working families don’t have big money lobbyists, but big social media companies do, big tech does, big pharma does, big oil does, big tobacco does. And big tobacco was one of the predatory industries that wrote the playbook on how to dupe Congress and how to perpetuate PR campaigns to actually trick the American people. We can all remember how big tobacco originally convinced the American people that smoking was healthy. They suppressed science, suppressed evidence, and then they lobbied Congress to prevent any sort of regulation, and millions of Americans got sick. We found out decades after the fact how dangerous this was. Big oil did the same thing when we found out burning fossil fuels contributed to carbon emissions. Back in the 1970s, Exxon’s internal scientists determined this, and then they sought to bury that evidence. We saw this with opioid manufacturers understanding how addictive their substances were. And now we’re seeing it with social media and big tech.

"At the top of this bill, we will talk about kids…but when you actually open the hood, it’s being used as a smokescreen for everything that Big Tech lobbyists want.” @RepAOC calls out Republicans’ partisan bill that lets Big Tech off the hook for kids’ online safety.
