Earlier this week, I participated in Lewis University’s Fostering Positive Mental Health in Aviation Program. I spoke about my pilot mental health work in Congress and appreciated the opportunity to hear from aviation students.

Over 70 cases have been filed against the Trump Administration’s executive orders or agency actions. Here’s what’s happening in the courts:
As the son and grandson of veterans, I hold in highest regard those who have put their lives on the line to defend our country.
Today, I was honored to deliver valentines at the Hines VA Clinic. Thank you to everyone who crafted over 3,500 valentines to help my office show gratitude to veterans.
In addition to dropping the Valentines off at local community centers, my office would like to spread the thoughtful valentines we have received around by mailing them out to veterans.
To send a valentine to a veteran, please fill out this form:

Last week, I introduced a bill with @rephaleystevens.bsky.social to prevent Elon Musk from accessing US citizens' private data.
All it takes now is for three House Republicans to be willing to stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk and for the American people.
ICYMI: Last week, I led 154 House Democrats in a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing concern regarding Elon Musk and his allies’ access to the federal government’s payments system, and demanding answers about the extent of Musk’s access.

Today I offered a motion to help ensure Elon Musk no longer has unlawful access to Federal Government systems and the private, sensitive data of taxpaying Americans.
All but one House Republican voted No and defeated my motion, choosing cowardice over patriotism.

This fight isn't over, but a bully is always counting on folks being unwilling to stand up.
I'm standing up to Elon Musk and for the American people.
Second, I led 154 House Democrats in a letter to Treasury Secretary Bessent demanding answers about the extent of Musk's access to data and ability to stop federal payments to programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and Social Security.

First, in coordination with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Congresswoman Haley Stevens and I introduced the Taxpayer Data Protection Act, landmark legislation from House Democrats to ensure your data is not subject to reckless and unlawful interference.

This week, my office has received more calls than ever from folks concerned about Elon Musk's access to their personal data.
I've taken two steps to help put a stop to Musk's actions. (1/4)
🚨 NEWS: I led over 150 House Democrats in a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent demanding answers on Elon Musk's unprecedented access to US citizen's private data and Treasury payment systems.

🚨NEWS: Tomorrow at 12pm CT, I'm hosting a telephone town hall to discuss the first few weeks of the Trump Administration and Elon Musk's unprecedented access to US citizens' personal data and federal disbursement systems.
Fascism survives so long as the evil at the top is supported by cowards below.
Is any Republican in Congress willing to stand against Elon Musk and for the American People? Or will they sit in cowardly complicity with the evil of their leaders?
