15 years ago today President Obama signed his first bill into law: the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a big step forward in the struggle for equal pay. That work continues, and reducing the gender pay gap is a major focus for me as we seek passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act.

On December 14, 2012, 20 children and 6 educators were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.

I just received this letter from a U.S. Army Reserve soldier describing how a shutdown will impact her.
