Donāt understand the concept of an āelection night watch partyā at all. Election night is not for socializing. Itās for looking at your phone and throwing up
For years, @AARP has pushed to expand retirement savings access for the 56M workers without a workplace plan. This is a great development from President Trump to build on bipartisan momentum in Congress so every American can save for #retirement.

This is tremendously sad. Gerry Connolly was just a genuinely nice man, and a pleasure to cover. He will be missed.

It was heartbreaking to hear David's story -- this is why AARP is fighting so hard to ensure every nursing home in America has enough staff on hand to take care of the folks living in those facilities. Our tax dollars should get what we're paying for!
When David Alan Basche's mother called for help, nobody answered.
Now, as a member of The Creative Coalition, he is advocating for staffing standards to improve care in nursing homes.

Thanks to @SenJackyRosen and @lisamurkowski for leading this important, bipartisan bill to increase access to palliative care. Nobody should be forced to endure pain when we can relieve their suffering.

Phenomenal reporting from NYT and KFF on the challenges of children trying to take care of their parents. Our country has to do more to support family caregivers.

This is such a devastating story and should be frankly terrifying for all of us. This is why we work so hard to reform the guardianship systems in this country to protect older adults and their families.

The Maui wildfire was an unprecedented tragedy, and kupuna were disproportionately impacted. That's why I'm encouraged to see disaster relief in the just-released White House supplemental funding request.
