50 years after the #RoeVWade decision, women have been cheated. Our freedom to make our decisions about our health and futures has been ripped away by Republican extremists who have decided they can crowd into the examining room and decide our fates.
Today, I am furious, but I am more committed to this fight than ever. I don’t want to make reproductive health care decisions for politicians — and I don’t want them making those decisions for me, my daughter, or millions of other women.
Republican extremists have come for our constitutional rights, and millions of us are fighting back. When we can get abortion rights on the ballot, we’ve said in one, big, loud voice: back off.
These Republican extremists are a small and unpopular minority. They have power right now, and they may choose not to hear us, but they underestimate our determination. We will fight for our constitutional right to abortion.
Senate Democrats will fight to make Roe V. Wade the law of the land again — and we will not give up because women will not go back. Not now, not ever.

This is a lawless and reckless decision. @CFPB has returned billions of dollars to Americans by doing its job, and its funding is clearly constitutional. Extreme right-wing judges are throwing into question every rule the CFPB enforces to protect consumers and businesses alike.
The Fifth Circuit’s flawed logic also endangers the funding of numerous other bank regulators, including the Fed, OCC, and FDIC, which monitor our entire financial system.
This reckless decision could stop the CFPB from enforcing rules that prevent debt collectors from harassing you. Rules to stop banks opening fake accounts or closing your account without asking. Rules to stop financial firms charging you outrageous junk fees.
President Biden is cancelling up to $20,000 of federal student debt for as many as 43 million Americans — a powerful step to help rebuild the middle class.
This will be transformative for the lives of working people all across this country.
Cancelling student debt will provide financial relief to millions of Americans who borrowed to pay for college because they didn’t come from wealthy families.
This powerful action will also help narrow the racial wealth gap among borrowers.
The bottom line is this: Millions of working people will have a chance to build a more secure economic future because of President Biden’s decision to #CancelStudentDebt.
A HISTORIC day for Americans: @US_FDA announced that it will allow people with mild to moderate hearing loss to buy safe and affordable hearing aids right off the shelf! I’ve been fighting for this for 5+ years and this is a terrific win for consumers. nytimes.com/2022/08/16/hea…
In 2017, my Over the Counter Hearing Aid Act with @ChuckGrassley was signed into law, beginning the process of making hearing aids available over the counter. warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
When @US_FDA dragged its feet on implementing our law, @POTUS’ executive order on competition helped get the process back on track to deliver to those in need. npr.org/2021/07/09/101…
A year ago, the Biden administration signed a historic executive order establishing a whole-of-government approach to promote competition in our economy. The admin has been taking critical steps—protecting consumers, strengthening antitrust enforcement & tackling consolidation.
For too long, a handful of giant corporations have dominated our markets—crushing competition, raising prices and exploiting workers.
With @linakhanFTC and @JusticeATR, the Biden admin has taken steps to crack down on consolidation in Big Tech, banking and the defense industry.
.@POTUS committed to implementing my bill to make hearing aids available over the counter. @US_FDA’s proposed rule will promote competition in the hearing aid market & lower the costs of these devices, which can cost thousands of dollars per pair. This action is long overdue.
The Biden administration will automatically cancel the student debt of more than half a million Americans defrauded by Corinthian College — it’s long-overdue justice.
I’ve been fighting for years, alongside @VP & many advocates, to get these borrowers relief from crushing debt.
In 2014, we forced the @usedgov to acknowledge that students defrauded by Corinthian College had a right to debt forgiveness and launched a campaign to urge the Department to provide that relief.
Through letters, hearings, investigations, campaigns, and work with state officials — including tireless efforts of @VP — we urged more and faster relief for cheated students. washingtonpost.com/news/business/…
There’s been a lot of debate whether corporate monopolies and price gouging are contributing to inflation when it’s plain as day that’s what’s happening.
The @BostonFed has weighed in. And here’s what they found. Buckle up.
First, they found clear evidence that the economy has become more concentrated: “Industry concentration has increased significantly in the United States in the past 20 years, and this trend has accelerated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Meaning? Concentration results in market power—& corporations use it to jack up prices & profiteer during inflationary times. @BostonFed puts it: “the pass-through of cost shocks into prices..becomes..greater when there's an increase in concentration.”
