America’s promise has always extended beyond our borders to those escaping war, violence, and persecution.
For 250 years, that promise has made us stronger.
America would not be America without the immigrants who continue to shape our country.

Better diagnostic accuracy can save lives, lower health care costs, and help close persistent health disparities.
We’ve introduced legislation to help make that a reality:

3 American soldiers were killed and dozens more were wounded this weekend as Trump's war in Iran continued to escalate, but our Commander in Chief chose to spend his day basking in confetti at the World Cup with Gianni Infantino.
He can't even be bothered to pretend he cares.

House Republicans’ latest partisan budget:
-$73B for Trump’s war
-$10B for voter suppression
-$0 to lower costs
This is what they’re focused on instead of helping you.
Sending my prayers and condolences to the families of the servicemembers killed in Jordan.
Trump’s ineptitude with Iran continues to put American soldiers at risk unnecessarily, and the death toll is rising. This didn’t have to happen – it was an avoidable and awful mistake.
ICE and CBP are completely out of control.
Congress should be investigating these egregious abuses and deadly misconduct, not pouring billions more dollars into agencies that are clearly beyond reform.
America's story is one of progress, but it also includes slavery and racism. While this history can be uncomfortable to face, that doesn't make it optional.
The Trump administration’s attempts to erase those truths from our historical landmarks is censorship, plain and simple.
After being fired through no fault of their own, our dedicated Foreign Service Officers shouldn’t have to take the FSOT again to return to public service.
That’s why I introduced the Foreign Service Test-Free Reentry Act:

America's aviation system relies on a standard that helps determine how planes are designed and operated, but that standard hasn’t been reviewed in nearly 50 years. My bill would change that:

Our bill would ensure that a human decision-maker always remains in the loop when lethal force is involved, because no machine should ever be given the power to decide to kill a human being on its own.
With Rep. Tom Barrett and @sarajacobs.house.gov:
I'm thinking of my friend John Lewis who left us six years ago today.
John understood that democracy is never guaranteed, it depends on people willing to defend it. There's no better way to honor him than to carry on his fight for democracy, dignity, and justice.
Why would we give him more power to do the former while trusting him not to do the latter?
We strongly urge our colleagues to read this legislation more closely before Congress makes a major mistake.
Trump is likely to exploit this green light to impose new tariffs—not to help Ukraine, but to escalate his global trade war.
This president has grossly abused trade authorities over and over again, and repeatedly shown willingness to do Putin’s bidding at Ukraine’s expense.
We passed a good bill in the House to sanction Russia and help Ukraine.
The bill offered by the late Senator Graham is not that bill, it is a bill that would give Trump new powers to impose additional tariffs of up to 100% on U.S. trading partners without congressional oversight.
Last year, Donald Trump illegally fired thousands of our dedicated public servants at USAID and the State Department. Our country is worse off for it.
I'm working to ensure these experts can return back to the roles we need them in to protect America’s interests abroad.

The American people cannot afford more of Trump's reckless tariffs, yet Republicans want to hand Trump even more power to leverage tariffs by asserting it's to "defend Ukraine."

I do not expect the current Republican rubber stamp majority to look into this, but majorities change. And there is a clear imperative for Congress to investigate this matter.
We do not know what the request was, who made it, or who the target of the audit or investigation was.
This warning brings to mind Trump's attempts to direct IRS investigations of his enemies during his first term, and his recent agreement with DOJ to permanently exempt himself from audits.
The law in question "prohibits the president, vice president, White House staff and certain agency heads from directly or indirectly requesting that the IRS conduct or terminate an audit or investigation of any particular taxpayer."
