This is yet another demonstration of the rising hate, antisemitism, and violence in our country today—it must end immediately. Discrimination has no place in our society, and Congress cannot continue to turn a blind eye.
I am appalled by the abhorrent antisemitic terror attack at a synagogue in Michigan yesterday. My thoughts are with those who were injured in the attack, and Jewish Americans across the country during this difficult time.
I am proud to have received a perfect score on the League of Conservation Voters’ most recent environmental scorecard! In Congress, I’ll always fight against Republican’s extreme attacks on our environment and defend clean energy initiatives to protect our communities. Learn more: LCV.org/scorecard
While the lives of civilians in Iran and American servicemembers have been put at risk, Trump is letting the Secretary of Defense spend millions on King Crab. Trump's priorities are out of order. We need to stop wars and lower costs, not turn a blind eye to elites who exploit our communities.
March is Women’s History Month. This month, we celebrate the generations of trailblazing women who have paved the way for progress in our fight for justice and equality. Our country is stronger as a result of their perseverance.
This legislation is an important step. As a cosponsor of the Block the Bombs Act, I will continue to support legislation that ensures our taxpayer dollars are only being spent in accordance with our humanitarian values.
I am proud to be an original cosponsor of @casten.house.gov’s Ceasefire Compliance Act. This bill would stop arms sales to Israel if the Oct. 10th ceasefire agreement is violated, if the West Bank is annexed, or if settler violence against Palestinians continues. casten.house.gov/media/press-...
I am grateful to have received the Equal Rights Amendment Champion Award from the ERA Coalition! It’s long past time to officially recognize the ERA, and I’ll always fight for legislation in Congress to stop discrimination on the basis of sex.
Since the announcement of a $1 billion grant for this rail line in 2023, I have been fighting tirelessly to ensure that this Administration disperses these funds. I am glad to see this funding beginning to reach our community which will help expand transit and improve infrastructure in our region.
Data centers continue to pop up across the country with no safeguards for our communities from negative repercussions. I joined @repbonnie.bsky.social’s Data Center Community Impact Act to authorize a federal study to inform policymaking and protect communities that have too often been overlooked.
It was great to meet with Duke School of Nursing leadership to discuss federal policies that are impacting education and the nursing workforce. Healthcare initiatives are key to sustaining local jobs, and Congress must ensure these programs are fully funded in order to build a stronger workforce.
I’m glad that Kristi Noem has been removed as head of DHS after over 185 House Democrats signed Rep. Robin Kelly's Articles of Impeachment. However, Congress must implement real policy changes to stop this lawless agency and ensure her successor is held accountable and doesn’t repeat past abuses.
Today, I proudly voted in favor of the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war with Iran. Our communities are tired of endless wars that put servicemembers and lives abroad at risk. I have no interest in supporting Trump’s actions in Iran and will continue to support all efforts to stop it.
Properly safeguarding the rights and identities of survivors are paramount. I fully support the Ethic Committee investigating anyone accused or sexual abuse or harassment, but I don’t believe this bill properly protects the safety of survivors in its current form.
From what Democrats are aware of, there was little-to-no collaboration with survivors on this bill, which is very different than previous efforts to support the Epstein survivors. We should be thoroughly collaborating with survivors to make a determination on if this is the proper route forward.
