Republicans are calling today’s vote a ban on insider trading. But in the last few pages of this bill is Trump’s voter suppression act. He knows republicans can’t win in Nov on their ideas, so they have to make sure YOU don’t vote. We need to make it easier to vote, not harder. I'll be voting NO.

Trump thinks providing affordable housing is a “big yawn” (yes, that’s a direct quote) compared to his plan to execute a federal takeover of our elections. While Trump obsesses over clinging to power, I’m focused on addressing the housing crisis and lowering your costs.

My statement on the Supreme Court's decision upholding birthright citizenship and the continued threats to the constitutional rights of immigrants.

@replamonica.bsky.social is facing 17 years in prison for conducting oversight & demanding accountability from Trump’s administration. Democracy dies when lawmakers are punished for simply doing their jobs. I’m standing with her because oversight is constitutional, not a crime.

Today marks 4 years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Now, Republican state abortion bans are taking away health care that women need to survive. As a member of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I'll always stand up for the right to access abortion care for everyone.

Trump promised the American people that no tax money would be used to fund his ballroom. Well, he lied. While Americans struggle to afford gas, groceries, and everyday essentials, Republicans are using taxpayer dollars to fund projects for the elite. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Trump said no taxpayer money would be spent on the ballroom. A contractor’s invoices show otherwise.

An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than Trump has said publicly and counters his claims that no taxpayer money will be spent.

This week marks the 14th anniversary of the DACA program. Dreamers, who came to the United States as minors, have fought to live the American dream. We've asked them to go above and beyond just to call the United States home. Congress must pass permanent protections for Dreamers.

The Baltic states have been strong allies, purchasing more than $1B in defense equipment over the last 4 years, supporting American jobs. Proud to introduce legislation with @keating.house.gov and @carbajal.house.gov that helps our allies deter aggression and promote stability in the region.

The secrecy surrounding the Epstein files is unacceptable. Under Biden, Garland, & now Trump, the public has been denied answers, & survivors have been denied justice. Release the files in full. No more secret closed-door meetings. Survivors deserve accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...

🚨New Bill Alert🚨 I just introduced the bipartisan Prior Authorization Reform for Autoimmune & Blood Disorders Act. Patients with chronic autoimmune diseases and blood disorders shouldn't have to repeatedly prove they have the same condition just to access care.

I was proud to vote for a resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling with the cost of gas, groceries, and housing, Republicans should be focused on lowering costs, not pursuing another costly conflict overseas.

A little girl with a rare brain tumor should not be separated from her parents because of a broken immigration system. Denying humanitarian parole in a case like this is inhumane. Our immigration system should reflect our values: compassion, dignity, and humanity. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This language is racist, vile, and disgusting. And for Rep. Kiggans to agree with it instead of immediately hanging up the phone, proves that she doesn’t have the decency to serve as a Member of Congress. She should apologize and resign.
