For the last two years, House Republicans have not meaningfully engaged with Democrats in discussions about funding our government. Because they control every lever of government - the House, Senate and White House - Republicans consistently choose to go it alone.

I will continue to fight for its preservation.

Mt. Cristo Rey is a religious and cultural landmark that has been central to our community for generations. Rather than working with border communities to advance effective border security, the Trump Administration continues to disregard the people, history, and culture that make our region special.
Two more American service members lives lost in this war. Sending my heartfelt condolences to their loved ones and praying that the lost American is found safe and alive.
This is tragic news.
While the Massie amendment is imperfect, I plan to vote ‘yes’.
But lasting, durable peace will not be achieved through endless cycles of violence, and providing Netanyahu with an unconditional blank check without accountability and stronger oversight does not make Israel or the U.S. safer, stronger, or more secure.
The Israeli and Palestinian people deserve to live in peace, security, and freedom.
Israel's operations in Gaza and Lebanon have resulted in staggering civilian casualties, destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, and other essential infrastructure, and an unbearable humanitarian cost, & the surge in state-backed settler violence in the West Bank becomes more alarming by the day.
I will not support sending $3.3 billion to a Netanyahu government that has ignored our laws, interests, and values under both the Biden and Trump administrations.
There are additional changes that must be made immediately to safeguard communities: the use of body cameras, independent investigations into the shootings, and accountability that will bring justice for the families who lost their loved ones.
The murders of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston last week and Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford yesterday were preventable tragedies.
The reported decision by ICE to pause vehicle stops is a good first step.
At least 22 people have been fired on by agents involved in Trump’s mass deportation plans, and six people, including three American citizens, have been killed in those shootings.
There must be an independent investigation into both these shootings; agents must wear & turn on their body cameras; and there must be accountability for these killings. My heart is with the families and loved ones of these two fathers and the communities living with the tragedy.
The Supreme Court’s shadow docket ruling allows ICE to use race, language, ethnicity, and more to conduct stops, endangering the lives of brown and black people.
We know Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and the yet to be identified man killed today weren't targets, but they were Latino.
Two men in one week have been killed by ICE agents empowered by a radical Supreme Court intent on rolling back civil rights.
Neither man was the target, making it likely that racial profiling ("Kavanaugh stops") played a role in both fatal shootings in Houston and Biddeford.

Not only is slashing nearly $200 billion for SNAP cruel, we're missing out on the economic benefits. Studies show that for every dollar invested in SNAP, $1.54 is generated for the economy.
Republicans are making people go hungry and our economy miss out on over $300 billion.
I’m proud to have voted for this bill, and remain committed to the work to grow affordable and accessible housing for the American people with or without the President.
Trump demonstrates time and again that he doesn’t care about the cost of living crisis Americans are living through, the result of a terrible economy that he created.
For the first time in decades, Congress passed a bipartisan housing bill to address our nation’s housing crisis and help hard working Americans.
Despite the needs it addresses and the overwhelming support it has, Donald Trump refused to sign the bill, but thankfully it became law anyway.
