More than 80 percent of deaths during pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum are preventable. We must do more to address this and lower maternal mortality rates. That’s why I’m introducing legislation to boost maternal vaccination rates, address disparities in care, and save lives.

Earlier this week, I joined veterans to talk about how America needs to learn from the past. More than 14,000 U.S. servicemembers and contractors died, more than 65,000 were injured, and more than $8 trillion was spent in forever wars in the Middle East. We can’t repeat these mistakes in Iran.
If our servicemembers are being asked to risk their lives in this war, then the White House and Congress shouldn't be afraid to put the facts of this war before the American public so they can make a judgement about whether it's in our best interest. I'm going to keep pushing.
First, Trump tried to end-run Congress by starting an unauthorized, illegal war with Iran. Now he’s trying to end-run the American people by disenfranchising millions of eligible voters. He’s so scared Republicans can’t win that he’s trying to cheat.

Thank you to the National Foreign Trade Council Foundation for honoring me with the World Trade Award for my work on trade, including challenging senseless trade policies that are taxing Americans and causing chaos for American businesses. I’m going to keep at it.
Eid Mubarak! I’m wishing a peaceful and meaningful Eid al-Fitr to Muslim communities in Virginia and around the world.
Today, I sent a letter to the Navy raising concerns about the extended deployment of USS Ford and the impacts for the ship’s maintenance and deployment cycle, Sailors’ morale and wellbeing, and Navy retention. Our servicemembers and their families deserve better.
Trump is considering deploying thousands of troops to the Middle East to expand operations in his war-of-choice against Iran. That would needlessly risk the lives of our troops and only escalate the crisis.

Sailors with the Ford Carrier Strike Group have been at sea for nearly 9 months. They should be home with their families. Lengthy deployments and terrible ship conditions are bad for our servicemembers, their families, readiness, and military retention.

Promoting disability rights can significantly boost global security and prosperity. I’m proud to introduce legislation to enhance U.S. engagement on disability rights around the world and ensure State Department staff with disabilities have access to equal opportunities.
Lo que Trump prometió: acabar con las guerras interminables y reducir los costos.
Lo que Trump realmente está haciendo: iniciar guerras en el extranjero que aumentan los costos.
Esta es una presidencia de promesas incumplidas.

I was with veterans in the Capitol today to amplify their concerns about Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran. Rather than listen and vote to end it, too many senators chose to bow to a President who has called our fallen heroes ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ This isn't over.
America’s veterans understand the cost of war. I’m glad I got to talk to veterans today about how Trump dragging us into another prolonged conflict in the Middle East with no clear goals, strategy, or end state is so harmful.
4 years ago, my Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act became law to support the mental health of our healers. I was honored to work with the family of Dr. Breen, an MD from VA who died by suicide while serving on the COVID frontlines, to name the law after her.
Our servicemembers’ service and sacrifice can take a toll on their mental health. The least we can do is ensure they receive the mental health care benefits they are promised as veterans. The significant staff losses under Trump are unacceptable and must be rectified.
What Trump said he’d do: end forever wars and lower costs.
What Trump is actually doing: starting overseas wars that raise costs.
This is a presidency of broken promises.

Trump is already waging a deeply unpopular war against Iran. Now, Trump says he thinks he can have “the honor of taking Cuba.” We need to focus on helping Americans and lowering costs, not inciting a new global conflict every month.
Trump was completely unprepared for the war against Iran that HE started. Six months ago, the Trump Administration DOGE’d its global oil and gas price experts—the people who would be helping address the oil shortage that’s causing surges in gas prices.
Six months before the Trump administration started bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My family immigrated to the United States from Ireland in the 1840s and 50s, and I’m proud to celebrate my Irish heritage today! Wishing everyone a safe and festive holiday!
Trump’s talk about gas prices lowering soon is proving to be just that—talk. Back in reality, working families are struggling with unaffordable costs because of his war of choice.
