The average Class of 2016 graduate didn't leave with just a degree - they also shoulder $37,000 in student loan debt. We need the Debt Free College Act because it's morally wrong to punish our young people with insurmountable debt simply for pursuing an education.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House just voted to make it easier for auto lenders to charge people of color higher rates. What happened to equal protection under the law?

President Trump is pushing our country toward another preventable war, putting dangerous campaign politics first, isolating the United States and jeopardizing lives.
The Iran deal is a historic diplomatic achievement that is keeping nuclear weapons out of Iran’s hands. Inspectors have found no evidence that Iran is breaching the terms of the deal.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau instituted a simple rule that said car lenders can't charge more based on race, and they recovered literally millions of dollars for minority borrowers in the process. Tomorrow, Republicans will try to kill that rule.

Bigger Corporations Are Making You Poorer. A wave of new research shows how as giant corporations buy each other up and merge, the share of money out there going to actual workers declines.
I am gravely concerned about this report that found active duty service members involved in a white supremacist organization, including one allegedly involved in the violence at Charlottesville.

ICE has no right to detain American citizens. If this happens to anyone in my district, call my office at 612-522-1212 and we will help you.
Water is life. And when you shut people off from clean water, you shut them off from life. We are a wealthy nation with abundant national resources, including water—we can guarantee safe drinking water for all.
My piece with Food & Water Watch:
This week, in front of a room full of banking lobbyists, Mick Mulvaney confirmed what many Americans already knew: government works great if you are a rich donor or a bank lobbyist, but not so great for everyone else.
These comments disqualify Director Mulvaney from holding a public office of any kind. He should resign from the OMB and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Attorney General should immediately open an investigation into whether he violated federal criminal laws.
Yes, Scott Pruitt should resign. Not only because of his many abuses, but also because of what I view to be the biggest scandal: As EPA Administrator, Pruitt has abandoned environmental protection to make life more profitable for polluters.

Keith Ellison added an event.
Join Congressman Keith Ellison, Councilmember Steve Fletcher, Councilmember Kevin Reich, Hennepin County Commissioner Linda Higgins, and State Senator Kari Dziedzic to learn how our government works and how you can make your voices heard.
Today marks the four-year anniversary of the crisis in Flint, Michigan, but the reality is water infrastructure around the country has been neglected for decades. The result has been unsafe and unaffordable water for millions of people. That's why, today, I'm introducing the WATER Act to guarantee clean water for all.
