I’m heartbroken by today’s tragic tour bus crash. My prayers are with all those injured and the loved ones of those who lost their lives.

Had an inspiring visit at Homesteads for Hope—a local community farm where everyone, regardless of ability, can find a place to belong. Here, apprentices are building confidence and purpose in nature’s classroom. Proud to work alongside them to support our neighbors.

The President's suggestion to end mail-in voting is unconstitutional, it's unlawful, and it's unserious. We are going to fight it every step of the way.

These funds support teacher training, address learning gaps, and provide resources for students in crisis. As Vice Ranking Member of the House Committee on Appropriations, I’ll fight to protect Head Start, expand Universal Pre-K, and restore the Child Tax Credit.

We need an educated America, one where our children can succeed in a drastically changing world with AI and social media. In Rochester, we know this, and our community is stepping up to defend programs our students rely on that are facing cuts by the Trump administration.

Trump's attack on mail-in voting is a blatant lie. It has been secure and safe, and used in many states for decades without incident. This is nothing more than another attempt to hide from the American people he's scared of.

For decades, the Rochester Vet Center has been providing critical counseling services for veterans as they return to civilian life. I'm proud to work alongside them to ensure veterans have the resources and services they need after they so courageously served our nation.

Grateful for the neighbors in Fairport who came out to grab coffee with me and talk about their concerns. It's community engagement like this that inspires me to continue my work in Congress to deliver for our region.

We need hardworking teachers—they are leaders in our community, and they prepare our children for the future. Cutting off the resources students need to pursue a teaching degree puts our classrooms and our country's future at risk.

Shutting off federal loans for these students could turn people away from the profession altogether, at a time when teachers are burnt out and leaving classrooms and daycares, early childhood educator...

So now we’re taking election advice from Putin?

Trump and Putin are both criticizing mail-in voting. Election officials are freaking out.

Officials are concerned that Trump’s moves to loosen U.S. election security may provide an opening for Russia.

Social security is not a gift—it's a program we've paid into as Americans since we took our first job. This program sustains people who have done the hard work and put the time in. We cannot allow out-of-touch billionaires to rob our neighbors of their hard earned retirement.
