You can’t spin this. The GOP wants to take money from sick people while giving tax breaks to millionaires. I’m all for finding fraud and waste. But kicking millions off food assistance and health insurance makes the problems worse. I will continue voting no on anything that hurts my neighbors.
He promised to lower costs on Day 1. But the policies from the GOP aren’t working. I’m working to cap prescription drug costs, lower energy bills, and grow wages with good-paying jobs. And I will work with anybody to keep bringing down costs.
In 2019, I found a BOGO online for a trip on Amtrak and my Dad and I went to Washington. It never occurred to me I could or would ever work in the Capitol. 6 years ago! But spending time as an adult with my Dad helped me understand my purpose. Thank you, Dad. One day is not enough for you. -Eric
As an American first, but also as a member of the House Armed Services, the rhetoric of the Secretary of Defense in front of uniformed soldiers are absolutely vile. This President and his cabinet believe they have their own personal army. It must be called out loudly and clearly.
HEGSETH: We're not interested in your woke garbage and your political correctness FORT BRAGG TROOPS: *Yeahhhh!*
Today is Mississippi River Day! I am thankful to be able to represent the people along our nation’s greatest river. While most Members of Congress search somewhere around the world for their favorite beach, mine is right here. No place I would rather be. #IL17
Never thought that my previous life as a meteorologist was ever going to be important today. No college poly-sci courses, but always inquisitive to ask the tough queations, seek out the difficult answers, and report it out. 11 yrs ago today, being myself…especially on the quiet weather days.
Yeah, their hate may get louder this time of year. But our diversity is strength and our unity of purpose is power. And they will never have that! It’s an honor to serve openly and honestly in the United States House of Representatives. Happy Pride to every LGBTQ person and ally. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🩵🖤🤎🩶
Today is probably the most American of American holidays. It’s a day set aside to remember the people who died for our way of life. Please enjoy the day today, but remember why it is ours to enjoy. 🇺🇸
