Our hardworking public servants deserve to receive the Social Security benefits they've earned. The Social Security Fairness Act — which will eliminate unfair reductions in Social Security payments for 2.5 million Americans — is now law!
Today, I signed legislation expanding Social Security benefits for millions of teachers, firefighters, nurses, police officers, other public employees, and their spouses and survivors. This is a big deal.

Families of those in assisted living facilities deserve the peace of mind that their loved ones are being taken care of. Next week, we'll hold a hearing on the ongoing crises in assisted living facilities, including a lack of staffing, oversight & transparency, and quality care.
Assisted living facilities are supposed to ensure the safety of their residents. The cascading crises uncovered by the @WashingtonPost show that these facilities are violating the trust of seniors and their families. That’s why I’m seeking answers.
