Attorney General Bondi’s duty is to the Constitution, not a corrupt regime. Instead, she has failed to protect civil and human rights while using the Department of Justice to create even more barriers to equal justice.
This Administration’s crusade against the EPA Office of Research and Development helps big businesses get richer and puts communities at risk while demonizing the critical work of so many researchers in the Fourth District.
In Congress, I am proud to be a cosponsor of the @repchrispappas.bsky.social's Respect for Local Communities Act to require DHS to receive written approval from state and local officials before constructing any ICE processing facilities or detention centers.
Trump’s decision to shutter the EPA Office of Research and Development will make the American people sicker and poorer as polluters get richer.  Congresswoman Valerie Foushee and I are leading 116 House Democrats calling for the restoration of this independent, lifesaving research office.
I am also alarmed by attempts to weaponize this attack against individuals across the political spectrum. More than ever, now is the time to stand united with Jewish Americans and reject all forms of division. We must move forward with unity and take steps to root out hate from our society.
This is yet another demonstration of the rising hate, antisemitism, and violence in our country today—it must end immediately. Discrimination has no place in our society, and Congress cannot continue to turn a blind eye.
I am appalled by the abhorrent antisemitic terror attack at a synagogue in Michigan yesterday. My thoughts are with those who were injured in the attack, and Jewish Americans across the country during this difficult time.
I am proud to have received a perfect score on the League of Conservation Voters’ most recent environmental scorecard! In Congress, I’ll always fight against Republican’s extreme attacks on our environment and defend clean energy initiatives to protect our communities. Learn more: LCV.org/scorecard
While the lives of civilians in Iran and American servicemembers have been put at risk, Trump is letting the Secretary of Defense spend millions on King Crab. Trump's priorities are out of order. We need to stop wars and lower costs, not turn a blind eye to elites who exploit our communities.
March is Women’s History Month. This month, we celebrate the generations of trailblazing women who have paved the way for progress in our fight for justice and equality. Our country is stronger as a result of their perseverance.
This legislation is an important step. As a cosponsor of the Block the Bombs Act, I will continue to support legislation that ensures our taxpayer dollars are only being spent in accordance with our humanitarian values.
I am proud to be an original cosponsor of @casten.house.gov’s Ceasefire Compliance Act. This bill would stop arms sales to Israel if the Oct. 10th ceasefire agreement is violated, if the West Bank is annexed, or if settler violence against Palestinians continues. casten.house.gov/media/press-...
I am grateful to have received the Equal Rights Amendment Champion Award from the ERA Coalition! It’s long past time to officially recognize the ERA, and I’ll always fight for legislation in Congress to stop discrimination on the basis of sex.
Since the announcement of a $1 billion grant for this rail line in 2023, I have been fighting tirelessly to ensure that this Administration disperses these funds. I am glad to see this funding beginning to reach our community which will help expand transit and improve infrastructure in our region.
