While Republicans continue cutting education, I'm fighting to protect @IESResearch and other initiatives that help students and teachers thrive. At a time when AI and new technologies are reshaping education, we should be investing in progress, not cutting it.

President Trump promised to end wars, not start them. His lies dragged our country into an illegal war in Iran, where we have spent billions of dollars that could have been used to help hard working American families.

Time and again, the U.S. Supreme Court has sided with special interests and corporations over the American people. Unacceptable. My Anti-Corruption & Democracy Reform Task Force has been hard at work with people like Marge from @peoplefor finding new ways to restore sanity to

Republicans want to impose new work requirements on health care while cutting the programs that help people find jobs. That's not fiscal responsibility. It's cruelty. @AppropsDems are fighting back.

Samantha with @reproforall is right: without meaningful Supreme Court reform, we cannot restore Americans' reproductive freedom.  My Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force is exploring every option to reign in this rogue court and preserve Americans' fundamental rights.

Earlier this year, DHS began constructing a detention facility in Rochester without notifying local officials or meaningfully engaging the public. The facility is being built in the same federal building as a daycare center. Regardless of where you stand on immigration policy,

The Congressional Baseball Game is a great tradition which brings members together in support of causes that make a difference. While I'm not playing this year, I'll be rooting on my colleagues and celebrating the spirit of bipartisanship that makes this event so special. Play

This is exactly why we need strong guardrails around AI in our elections. Using artificial intelligence to fabricate a candidate’s voice or likeness is deceptive, dangerous, and designed to confuse voters. I stand with Rep. Balint and others who are targeted by these tactics.

63 years after the Equal Pay Act became law, the promise of equal pay for equal work remains unfinished. Too many women, especially women of color, still earn less on average than their male counterparts. We owe it to every worker to close the wage gap and build an economy where

The cost-of-living crisis is real, and working families are paying the price. That's why my @AppropsDems colleagues and I are fighting back against Republican proposals to cut health care and make life even more expensive. Americans deserve lower costs and greater opportunity.

Today, @AppropsDems are marking up the Homeland Security funding bill. We're fighting to hold ICE and CBP accountable by requiring judicial warrants, respecting civil rights, and operating with full transparency. Watch live:
