I’m headed to the House floor to vote in favor of passing a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war in Iran. With the Senate beginning to advance a War Powers Resolution of their own this week, this is a critical opportunity for us to take steps to stop the killing of innocent civilians in Iran.
The GOP’s attempts to distract Americans from their incompetent governance means they’re now delegitimizing student’s identities and punishing schools for their acceptance. Trans students make up 1% of the student population in the United States and deserve civil rights like every other student.
I’m proud to be one of 17 House cosponsors of @repsummerlee.bsky.social’s Abolish Super PACs Act. Billionaires and corporations do not have the interests of working-class Americans in mind, and they cannot be allowed to continue to buy our elections.
Super PACs are allowing billionaires and special interests to spend limitless money to buy candidates and our democracy. We must abolish them. Proud to be the lead sponsor of the Abolish Super PACs Act in the House and am grateful to @sanders.senate.gov for his leadership in the Senate.
As the Ranking Member of the House, Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee, I am proud to help lead this resolution and will continue to fight to ensure women are properly recognized for their contributions to our nation.
May 20th marks the anniversary of Amelia Earhart’s historic transatlantic flight—a moment that serves as a reminder of the women who made history, and an inspiration to the women and girls who will shape the future of aerospace.
Nancy Mace continues to disparage people of color while ignoring the fact that the last dual citizen to serve as a member of Congress was a member of her own party. This is nothing more than a hateful, disgusting attack to score political points with hateful oligarchs on her campaign trail.
Nancy Mace’s bill to ban naturalized citizens from serving in government is hateful and disgusting. Naturalized citizens should absolutely be allowed to serve in government. America was built off the backs of immigrants and our nation’s diversity is what brings vibrancy to our country.
Local municipalities are too often asked to keep up with today’s technology without being given the proper resources. I’m introducing the State and Local Public Sector Innovation Act to help state and local governments innovate their own systems to better the administration of public services.
Public universities continue to turn a blind eye to attacks on our communities. Athletes and supporters have the ability to help ensure that these institutions do not go quiet at this critical period in history.
This should come as a surprise to no one. This Administration continues to prioritize wars abroad and attacks on the most vulnerable people across our communities over doing anything to improve the day-to-day lives of Americans.
