House Republicans took an unconscionable vote to strip healthcare and food assistance from millions of Americans to give the ultrawealthy a tax cut.

I voted no.

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating with their loved ones in PA-05!

Louie started spreading the holiday spirit early this year!

The new documents that Congress has forced the Justice Department to release make one thing clear:

We are witnessing a criminal White House cover-up.

The “most transparent administration in history,” everyone!
This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.

AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Holiday decor reveal!

The American people deserve and demand answers.

Why isn't the DOJ following the law and releasing the Epstein files today?

What is in those files?

My DC office competed with colleagues in my hall for the best holiday decor!

Stay tuned for the decoration reveal!

There's a hint in the background!

The deadline to release the Epstein files is tomorrow.

Neither the White House nor the DOJ has released anything to the American public, and Speaker Johnson just decided to send Congress home early (again).

What exactly are they trying to hide?

I'm proud to announce that my Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act has officially passed the Senate and now heads to the President's desk for signature!

The families of our fallen or permanently disabled firefighters and first responders have waited far too long to get the benefits they deserve.

We are in a battle to save healthcare for 15 million Americans.

Speaker Johnson needs to put the bill to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years on the floor before they expire.

There's 2 1/2 days left.

Call your representative.

So disturbing to see this moral backsliding after public outrage had previously caused the Coast Guard to halt efforts to ease policies banning antisemitic and racist symbols.
Breaking news: U.S. Coast Guard allows a new workplace harassment policy to take effect, downgrading the definition of swastikas and nooses from overt hate symbols to “potentially divisive” despite facing backlash over the new language.

The Coast Guard’s workplace harassment manual that downgrades the definition of swastikas and nooses quietly went into effect this week.

Energy costs are through the roof across America.

@houserepublicans.bsky.social are continuing to boost oil and gas profits, while doing nothing to lower your bills.
December 16, 2025 at 9:44 PM
I introduced an amendment to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years.

There's no time to waste.

We have to act now to save healthcare for the American people.
December 16, 2025 at 7:35 PM
@houserepublicans.bsky.social and the White House are once again trying to help oil and gas companies by weaponizing the permitting process for clean energy.

Diversifying our energy grid would lower costs for Americans, but it looks like Republicans in DC have other priorities.
December 16, 2025 at 1:50 AM
Hint: It's not the one that would prevent 15 million Americans from losing healthcare next month.
They both cost the same.

Guess which option Republicans chose.
December 16, 2025 at 1:44 AM
Instead of protecting American consumers and our environment, the Trump administration is forcing inefficient energy plants to remain open.

Why? Because it benefits the fossil fuel industries.

Our healthcare system IS in crisis.

Americans deserve a government that makes healthcare more accessible and affordable, not less.
Nearly 1 in 4 Americans say the U.S. health care system is in crisis
A new Gallup poll found that about eight in 10 Democrats, and 64 percent of Republicans, say the system is in crisis or has “major problems.”

The horror of the Brown University shooting is heightened by the fact that this is the second school shooting that at least two Brown students have had to endure.

My heart breaks for the victims, their loved ones, the survivors, and all those affected by the shooting.

I was honored to join Chabad of Media for the annual Menorah lighting, celebrating the culture, heritage, and resilience of our Jewish community.

In the backdrop of this year's celebration of the festival of lights was the horrific antisemitic attack on a Hanukkah event in Australia.

I want to wish a happy Hanukkah to everyone in PA-05 gathering with their loved ones to celebrate the festival of lights!

I joined @raskin.house.gov and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov in demanding access to special counsel Jack Smith's report before his deposition next week.

House Judiciary Republicans have already blocked the public from seeing Smith's testimony.

They shouldn't be allowed to cover up the report too.
In a letter to Pam Bondi, Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin and 18 other Democratic committee members wrote that she had “suppressed Volume II of Special Counsel Smith’s report with absolutely no justification.” https://bit.ly/3MGiTcd

Abhorrent.

Shocking that the DOJ hasn't released the Epstein files yet.

The survivors deserve justice.

The White House is the people's house.

No President should be allowed to erase the building's history without going through the proper processes.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, representing the first major legal challenge to President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition.

Once again, Republican leadership in DC has decided that maximizing profits for the oil and gas industry is more important than the health and safety of the American people.
