Tiffany McElroy’s story of giving birth on the prison floor as guards sat back and watched is absolutely heartbreaking. No person should ever be denied essential healthcare—this is a deep violation of our human and civil rights standards. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

After losing her son, Sewell, to suicide because of an AI chatbot, Megan Garcia has been a powerful advocate for regulating these companion chatbots and passing the GUARD Act. Her story is one of resilience. Please take a moment to listen to her explain why this work is so important, and urgent.

The barriers Dr. Koch continues to break is an important reminder to women around the world that we too can make lasting change and deserve the opportunity to do so.

I was grateful for the opportunity to greet the Artemis II crew here in Washington. They have inspired a generation, and as Ranking Member of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee, I won’t stop defending NASA funding to ensure we can continue pushing our space program forward.

As one of the few Representatives left who experienced segregation as a young girl in an all-Black elementary school, I took to the House floor to deliver a message in light of the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act. We will not go back. youtu.be/N5FkPVZRDsA

Though the legality of these markets remains contested, it's clear that they pose risks to young Americans. Congress needs to have a full understanding of user demographics, internal policies, and safeguards in place by these companies as we work to regulate these platforms.

This is inhumane. Israel continues to kill civilians with strikes in Lebanon including women, children and seniors. Congress must block arms sales to Israel and pass Rep. Tlaib's Resolution to stop our military from further assisting Israel's hostilities in Lebanon. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/w...

Trump is making taxpayers front the bill for his immoral war that is killing innocent people. Inflation is up and wage growth is slowing. We must pass a War Powers Resolution to prevent Trump from continuing to put servicemembers, innocent lives abroad, and the wellbeing of our communities at risk.

Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (D-NC) adds, "Trump’s illegal war in Iran is showing up as rising gasoline prices at home, with the current average for gasoline in North Carolina at over $4.20 a gallon, an increase many families simply cannot afford" especially with utility bills also skyrocketing.
