I pay taxes. You pay taxes. It's our contract with each other as Americans: we all chip in to keep our country running.

Taxes keep our schools open, our roads and bridges in repair, and so much more.

Well, almost all of us chip in, that is.

Amazon? Netflix? Chevron? These are just some of the companies whose net tax bill was likely zero this year.

Right now, Americans are stuck with a patchwork of confusing insurance plans and networks that produce anxiety and stress instead of peace of mind. But I know more people than ever support our progressive plan to make health care accessible to all Americans, not just those who can afford it.

It's called Medicare For All, and it's beyond time to get this done, because health care is a human right. That's why I've joined Senator Bernie Sanders in introducing a new proposal to get it done.

Donald Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is out. Forced to resign.

I called for her to be fired because of her leading role implementing – and lying about – President Trump's evil policy of snatching migrant children from their parents' arms.

But this is no time to celebrate. Because as long as Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump are in power, our job isn't done.
