I voted against this year’s NDAA because it authorizes excessive military spending and attacks transgender servicemembers.
It's tiring to hear that Medicare for All is too expensive while the GOP approves $1.1 trillion in military spending. That money should go to our communities.

Republicans are planning to jam a budget resolution through the House to further bankroll Trump's wars and force passage of the SAVE America Act.
While costs are rising, the GOP is focused on funding the killing of innocent people and disenfranchising Americans. I'm voting NO.

Picking up from where @dangaristo.bsky.social left off - Rep Foshee asking about electricity and the ratepayer protection pledge is genuine or smoke and mirrors due to the impact of data centers. Kratsios - The pledge is the most concequetial of his term when it comes to AI made a commitment to...

🧵Rep. Foushee: "Energy prices are still soaring. Data centers are still a major driver of it. And this Administration has done nothing to stop it."

Today, I voted in favor of Rep. Massie’s amendment to cut military aid to Israel. However, I voted against the foreign affairs funding bill which includes harmful riders, including the SAVE Act, & weakens our ability to lead through diplomacy & protect our national security.

With months before government funding was set to expire, Republicans chose to ignore any bipartisan negotiations or long-term funding efforts in favor of forcing through their extreme agenda.
This is not how Congress should function and the American people deserve better.
Last night, I voted against the Republican Continuing Resolution that allows for the transfer of federal funds to immigration enforcement agencies.
These short-term, partisan funding packages are wholly insufficient in bringing proper support to our communities.

NEW: I launched an investigation w/ Rep. Valerie Foushee + @adams.house.gov into Duke Energy's settlement with the Trump admin to abandon an offshore wind project off the NC coast in exchange for a payout.
We will get answers.

Trump is wasting taxpayer dollars on pay-outs to energy corporations because he thinks wind turbines are a 'national security risk'.
@ross.house.gov, @adams.house.gov and I are investigating Trump's settlement with Duke Energy to halt offshore wind projects.

The rise of AI cannot mean that it is being used to make decisions of lethal military force.
I'm proud to be an original cosponsor the Human Authority over Autonomous Weapons Act to ensure that weapons systems always have a human decision-maker in control.

His testimony is an important reminder of the need for proper congressional oversight to ensure FEMA employees are empowered to properly deliver the aid our communities need.
At this week’s @transportdems.bsky.social hearing, I asked former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate about how the failed leadership of Kristi Noem has hurt this critical agency.
I spoke to @535news.bsky.social about introducing the GUARD Act to regulate AI chatbots. As I shared in this interview, I am hearing directly from families who have lost their children after interactions with these chatbots—Congress must take action immediately.
I joined nearly 200 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in calling for independent investigations and a halt to removal proceedings against the witnesses.
This Administration’s handling of recent ICE investigations demonstrate that they cannot be trusted to properly examine the deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero.

This program will help ensure that we can support students seeking opportunities in higher education, without the rising cost of housing being a barrier.

Students across the country are struggling with higher housing costs with little support from the federal government. I’m introducing the Grad Student Affordable Housing Act to establish a federal program to cover 80% of eligible students’ rent costs.
