Senator Elizabeth Warren [D-MA]


Thank you Senator Warren!


U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren — US Senator for Massachusetts
Washington
It’s been over 100 days since Donald Trump ended protection for Dreamers – 800,000 young people who are part of our American family. It’s been over 100 days since funding for community health centers lapsed. It’s been over 100 days since hurricanes ravaged Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico – and Congress still hasn’t provided enough funding for disaster relief. For over 100 days, Republicans have refused to fix any of these issues, and today’s stopgap spending bill just kicks the can further down the road. We don't need new promises. We need new laws and real solutions.

Must Reads: R. Kelly's #MeToo reckoning, Charlie Rose's enablers, and Erik Prince's China

Image
Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. When national arts reporter Geoff Edgers started working on his penetrating look at years of sexual abuse allegations involving R&B superstar R. Kelly, he was worried he wouldn't be able to uncover anything new. Kelly's behavior, which included marriage to then-15-year-old singer Aaliyah and a video that appeared to show him having sex with a 14-year-old, was well known. But Edgers, with encouragement from his editor, Christine Ledbetter, focused his reporting on the industry that enabled Kelly's career to flourish amid one disturbing scandal after another.  "How do you ignore something like this for so long?" Edgers said he asked himself. "How does that happen? You trace it back to the money, and who are the people who benefited?"
