Selling out American farmers and ranchers won’t bring down the cost of groceries. Flooding the market with foreign beef threatens our own producers while prices at the store stay sky high because Trump won’t change course on his inflationary tariffs. tcf.org/content/comm...
This Valentine’s Day, I’m sending love to immigrant families across our district & our nation. Immigrants deserve dignity, safety, and opportunity – not fear & dehumanization. I will continue fighting in Congress for humane and just immigration policies. #ToImmigrantsWithLove #IStandWithImmigrants
Under our Constitution, Congress holds the power of the purse – not the Executive. I’m proud to co-lead an amicus brief alongside my colleagues @repfletcher.bsky.social, @whitehouse.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, & @merkley.senate.gov to defend this law and the communities counting on it.
There is no moral justification for refusing to look survivors in the eye and apologize. The Attorney General’s deflection and absolute despicable behavior during that hearing was deeply troubling and unacceptable. Survivors deserve respect, transparency, accountability, and justice. Period.

Grateful to join the Consumer Credit Industry Association on the Hill this week to discuss bipartisan, pragmatic solutions in the 119th Congress that expand housing supply, reduce financial risk, support working families and strengthen the economy.
From higher insurance premiums to disaster recovery bills, this is an issue that hits home and leaves working families paying the price for climate denial. We should be strengthening protections, not dismantling them.
Last night, I was proud to join every Democrat - and a few Republicans – to stop the tariffs on Canada. Why? Because Trump’s Tariffs are taxes, and working families are paying the price.
The House rejected an attempt to block votes that would end the national emergency underpinning President Trump’s tariffs. Three House Republicans voted with all of the chamber’s Democrats to block the move.
