Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would throw millions of Americans off their health coverage and slash food assistance for countless families — all to fund more tax breaks for billionaire donors. I’m heading back to Washington to vote NO.
The Trump Admin slashed over 1000 fellowships from the NSF's Graduate Research Fellowship Program, which has produced Nobel Prize winners, tech entrepreneurs, & national security experts. While countries like China are doubling down on scientific investment, Trump is hurting our pipeline of talent.
Today, the Supreme Court ruled that states can now block Medicaid recipients from choosing Planned Parenthood for essential care like birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care, and more. Reducing people's care options and access will risk lives. apnews.com/article/supr...
Today marks a decade since the Supreme Court's historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, legalizing same-sex marriage across the country! Every American should be able to marry who they love. In Congress, I will always advocate to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.
Kicking out NSF scientists—with no clear plan to relocate them—so the HUD secretary can have a personal gym, dining room, and parking spots for his 5 cars is ridiculous and insulting. I don't think this is what voters imagined when Trump promised government efficiency.
Three years ago today, SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, Republicans across the country have pushed dangerous abortion bans. Reproductive health care belongs between a woman and her doctor—not politicians. We'll keep fighting until women in every state have access to safe abortion care.
I will be returning to Washington tomorrow. Congress should demand immediate and detailed information on the situation on the ground, the location and security of Iran’s nuclear materials, and the next steps in Trump’s military engagement.
On Juneteenth, we commemorate the end of slavery in America and reaffirm our commitment to justice and equality for all. It's been an honor stopping by Juneteenth events across IL-11 these past few days—celebrating history, community, and the ongoing fight for freedom.
From the administration that decries spending, over $45 million to use troops for Trump's birthday party is hypocritical at best. This parade is reminiscent of Russia and North Korea. Despite Trump's envy of them, our military's strength speaks for itself—no dictator-style fanfare necessary.
Earlier this week, RFK Jr. purged every single expert from the CDC's vaccine advisory committee. He has already started replacing these health experts with anti-science, anti-vaccine cronies. I joined my Democratic colleagues in demanding that he reverse this dangerous decision.
Dreamers are our coworkers, classmates, neighbors, and valued members of our communities. For 13 years, DACA has allowed them to live freely in the only country most of them have ever known. We must continue to fight for a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.
