Trump has abandoned his plan to strip thousands of older Americans of their Social Security benefits.
I joined over 160 House Democrats in urging the Administration to drop this harmful proposal. We’ll keep fighting to protect the benefits our seniors earned and to keep America’s safety net strong.

When Republicans were trying to jam through Trump’s big ugly bill they also tried to impose an AI moratorium that would've shut down state & local AI safeguards. I fought back against it, & it never made it in Trump’s big ugly bill.
Despite overwhelming opposition, they're bringing it back. [1/2]

America is facing a real energy crunch. Families are paying more, and our grid is under strain. The answer isn’t blocking clean power or gutting efficiency, it’s scaling the cheapest, fastest tools we have. [1/2]

Energy efficiency means lower bills. Since President Trump took office, household electricity costs are up 11%. Instead of working with Democrats to solve this affordability crisis, Republicans are set on gutting so-called "woke" efficiency standards. [1/2]

After months of denial and delay tactics on the Epstein files, Donald Trump’s last-minute reversal isn’t a sign of a changed heart. Make no mistake, Trump and Republicans have denied, obstructed, and attacked any attempts at transparency. It's time to release the files.

Republicans chose to shut down the government rather than lower health care costs. They chose to use food as leverage and ignored court orders telling them to stop.
Now they’re jamming through a C.R. that doesn't stop premiums from skyrocketing and millions of Americans from losing coverage. [1/2]

While the Trump administration rips SNAP benefits away from families, our community stepped up.
This week, my team and I volunteered at food banks all over our district, putting in over a hundred staff hours, and getting food to over 2,100 families.
