The Department of Education helps every student and every school. Without it, state and local districts will have to make up the costs – and students, especially students with disabilities, will suffer.
I’ve been warning how the Trump administration makes false claims about immigrants and crime rates to justify mass deportation. Now, they're trying to justify defunding Social Security – by (falsely) claiming immigrants are committing Social Security fraud.
Healthnet provides quality healthcare to Indianapolis. Medicaid cuts would be devastating to their work. I met with Healthnet leaders to help chart our path forward and ensure everyone can get the healthcare they need – regardless of their ability to pay.
I want to be clear – I voted against Republicans’ continuing resolution last week. And I would do it again.   I will not bend whatsoever to MAGA and their extreme cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
Trump continues to lose in court. He’s losing in front of Bush judges and Biden judges, Obama judges and Reagan judges. He’s even losing in front of judges who Trump himself appointed in his first term.
The Trump administration’s cuts mean many Indianapolis families will go hungry.   This program not only helped feed families, it supported local farmers and producers. These cuts are devastating to our community, no matter which way you look at it. www.wishtv.com/news/politic...
I’m heartbroken over the loss of my colleague, Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva – one of the greatest environmental advocates of our time. He understood that we are caretakers of our planet. I’ll continue working to protect our country and world in his honor.
BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to immediately reinstate probationary federal workers who were illegally fired. This proves no one is above the law - including President Trump and Musk.
House Democrats are united in our support for a 4-week funding extension. I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a 4-week extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement.
President Trump picked a reckless fight with Canada at the expense of hard working American workers paying for it. His tariffs will hurt Americans.
BREAKING: European Union retaliates against Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs with countermeasures on up to $28 billion worth of American goods exports
House Republicans just passed a funding bill that cuts affordable housing and healthcare—including veterans’ healthcare. It fails to protect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.  I voted to protect Americans from these devastating cuts. Our working families, seniors, & veterans deserve better.
President Trump is illegally using ICE to silence dissent and is waging a war on the First Amendment.   Mahmoud Khalil is a legal green card holder who was targeted for his activism. He is a political prisoner. I’m demanding his immediate release.
Medicaid is more important than MAGA. We need just 3 Republicans to join Democrats & vote to keep Medicaid fully funded and running. Members of Congress are accountable to the people who elected us – not Donald Trump. Read my column in the Indy Recorder: indianapolisrecorder.com/medicaid-is-...
DOGE is cutting funding for a badly-needed new VA medical center in Indianapolis. Denying healthcare to our veterans isn’t efficiency. It’s cruel. I’ve demanded that DOGE immediately reverse this dangerous decision.
