John, I’m furious.

In the United States of America, the most likely person to be evicted from their home is a baby. An infant. A child.

How?

How is this possible in the United States of America?

Unfortunately, I can tell you the answer. Serving these last few years in the Senate, it’s a result that has been all too predictable:

In 2020, Democrats passed a national eviction moratorium to keep families in their homes and passed an expanded Child Tax Credit that provided cash payments of up to $300 per child per month to millions of American families. It amounted to the largest middle-class tax cut in a generation.

The most common use for the extra cash was for paying rent. Paying utilities. Buying food. Buying diapers.

It is a moral obscenity that Mitch McConnell and every single Senate Republican allowed this funding to lapse. Since it has, child poverty has doubled — in a single year, after our policy cut child poverty in half.

That’s why I’m fighting to restore this tax cut so that NO child in America goes without a roof over their heads. Join me — add your name to my petition calling on the Senate to make restoring the expanded Child Tax Credit a TOP priority. When Democrats defend our Senate majority and retake the House, that’s EXACTLY what we’re going to do:

It is my firm belief that we must work across the aisle in a bipartisan fashion to build consensus and get things done for the American people.

But there are some things that I simply will not tolerate — and this moral violence against children is one of them.

We must act. Thanks for joining me.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
