Statement “By invoking the nuclear option to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court without bipartisan support, U.S. Senate Republicans have moved our country in a dangerous direction, undermining our democratic institutions and imperiling the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, communities of color, immigrants and workers.  

Statement “Today, the Maryland House of Delegates passed HB 1, the Healthy Working Families Act, a badly needed earned sick days bill that will increase financial security and provide peace of mind to working families across the state, and strengthen the state’s economy. The bill is now on its way to Governor Hogan’s desk and we urge him to rethink his opposition to this commonsense legislation and sign it into law immediately. The Maryland Healthy Working Families Act protects twice as many working people as the Governor's proposal and boosts families and the economy.  

Statement “Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court would move the Court in a dangerous direction, one that threatens the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, people of color and workers.    

Statement “In a callous attempt to win over the more extreme members of the conservative right, US House Republican leaders are reportedly adding several dangerous provisions that threaten the health and wellbeing of women and families to their health care bill. The American Health Care Act was already a terrible bill that would make health insurance less affordable, less accessible, and less comprehensive, taking coverage away from tens of millions of families and offering fewer protections at higher costs to those who still have health insurance.
