When I left the Senate, I said that while I was giving up my seat, I would not give up my voice. This website is about the issues that are important to me. Issues like health care, the growing disparities in income, wealth, and opportunity, climate, immigration, justice, xenophobia, education, the role of money in every part of our politics, and, indeed, the very future of our democracy. Also, Trump. Since I left, I’ve had so many folks ask me to re-enter the fray. Fray, here I am!
