The Trump Administration informed addiction and mental health programs that almost $2 billion of their funding would be terminated.
I joined @reppaultonko.bsky.social to urge HHS to rescind these terminations.
Less than 24 hours later, the Administration reversed course and reinstated the money.

Last night, the Trump administration took a chainsaw to billions of $$$ in mental health and addiction treatment grants that were already approved by Congress.
I led 100 members in a bipartisan letter demanding this lifesaving funding be restored immediately.

Today marks the 240th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom declaring that our faith will never “diminish, enlarge, or affect” our civil rights. As these principles face new challenges, I’ll keep defending the First Amendment.

From the start of his Administration, President Trump has sought to weaponize the FCC to suppress freedom of speech and the press.
During today’s hearing with the FCC commissioners, I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social to defend a free and independent FCC as a protector of the First Amendment.

Repeatedly threatening the sovereignty of another nation — especially an ally — erodes the trust and respect the United States has built on the global stage. THAT is unacceptable.
BREAKING: Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is unacceptable.
Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is ‘unacceptable’
President Donald Trump insists that U.S. control of Greenland is necessary for national security. On Wednesday, he stated that anything less is unacceptable.

Now, her community on the south side of the city is grieving.
