Today the CPC announced the alternative budget, the Budget for All. The CPC budget calls for a no cuts policy for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits, in stark contrast to the House Republican cuts-only scheme that fails to balance our budget

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow morning, Wednesday, March 21st, to set its budget priorities in the aftermath of the Republican budget proposal released today.

We are saddened by the news of the passing of our friend and colleague, Congressman Donald Payne. Don was a true servant of the people.

"Underwater homeowners need justice," Grijalva and Ellison said. "Write downs are about keeping families in their homes and saving taxpayers money by preventing foreclosures.

While we strongly support the Democratic version of the STOCK Act... We are appalled at Washington Republicans' refusal to produce a clean bill that would require Wall Street to play by the same rules as working Americans.

Today the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the best of America. We do not legislate our prejudices and discrimination should not be legal in the greatest country on Earth...We stand shoulder to shoulder with gay and lesbian Americans in celebrating...

Washington Republicans have failed to listen to the American people. Now they have created a situation where groups of employees are pitted against each other in the FAA reauthorization bill.

As state attorneys general and the President's team gather in Chicago today to discuss a deal with the nation's five largest banks, we urge them to come to an agreement that acknowledges the deep pain that has been inflicted on the American people

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) today introduced the Restore the American Dream for the 99% Act, which creates more than 5 million jobs in the next two years and saves more than $2 trillion over 10 years
