I filed articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem for misusing millions of taxpayer dollars to star in a commercial. Reports of taxpayer-funded ad spending, including luxury production costs, raise serious concerns about misuse of public funds. Maybe now she can start her acting career.

8 years ago today, thousands marched in DC for gun safety, led by students who survived the school shooting in Parkland. Those students then founded @marchforourlives.bsky.social, and the march became a movement. I will continue to fight to end gun violence with the urgency this crisis demands.

President Trump is spending billions of dollars to bomb Iran yet claims there’s no money for Americans’ healthcare. He refuses to pay TSA workers and instead sends ICE agents to “help” at airports. President Trump’s budget priorities are backwards.

Reminder to Markwayne Mullin: You serve the American people, not Donald Trump. I filed articles of impeachment against your predecessor for breaking the Constitution and tearing apart families. Do better.
Senate confirms Mullin as homeland security secretary
The Oklahoma Republican portrayed himself as an experienced lawmaker ready to restore DHS’s credibility after a surge in immigration enforcement resulted in the killing of two U.S. citizens.

Trump’s Iran War is costing taxpayers billions everyday while families struggle to afford healthcare. Those resources could strengthen the ACA & lower costs for Americans, not dropping bombs in the middle east. I’ll keep fighting to put people first, not endless wars.

A 5-year-old and their family came here legally, seeking the American Dream. They were denied the chance to tell their story to a judge. Every person deserves due process, and I will keep fighting to end this administration’s cruelty.
Immigration judge denies asylum claim for family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, Minnesota school district says
An immigration judge has denied the asylum claim​ for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos​, a 5-year-old Minnesota boy whose arrest by ICE in January gained national attention.

Today marks 16 years since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, giving millions access to healthcare coverage. I remain committed in Congress to protecting the ACA and fighting to make healthcare more affordable and accessible for every family.

Trump’s Iran War costs taxpayers up to $1–2 billion a day while families struggle here at home. Those dollars should be lowering healthcare costs and protecting the Affordable Care Act. I’ll keep fighting to put people first and make care more affordable.

Food is Medicine isn’t just policy; it’s smart economics. New data shows scaling these programs could generate $5.6B for farmers and support 316K jobs. My bipartisan FOOD for Health Act expands access, lowers costs, and improves health outcomes.
Food is Medicine could benefit farmers to tune of $5.6B, report says
Small and mid-sized farmers could reap $5.6 billion in additional revenue a year if Food is Medicine programs were large enough to reach all the Americans who need them, a new report from the…

They’re sending ICE into TSA checkpoints while claiming to “help” workers they won’t even pay. Democrats put forward a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, and essential agencies—but Republicans are blocking it, including pay for TSA workers.

Cherise Doyley was 12 hours into contractions when the hospital told her she needed a judge to decide how she'll give birth. Politicians should not make medical decisions for women. Period. It's a disgusting overreach of our bodily autonomy.
They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth.
Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care. As their state pushes to expand some types of medical freedom, it has…

On this day, I reflect on the courage of those who marched from Selma to Montgomery for the third time 61 years ago today. They secured voting rights, and I refuse to stand idly by as Trump tries to infringe on millions of Americans' rights again through the SAVE Act. It must be stopped.

Last Friday, my team connected with dozens of students eager to serve their communities. Big thanks to our intern David for leading a fun “Government Jeopardy” game. Proud to see the next generation step up.

Democrats put forward a bill to keep TSA, FEMA, and other essential agencies funded, but Republicans won’t pass it. They’re blocking critical funding to keep the government running, including paying TSA workers. I am still fighting to make sure they get paid.

Monday’s ruling affirms that science must guide our public health decisions, not politics. I’m grateful to the @ameracadpeds.bsky.social for standing up for our children &for the doctors & experts who keep families informed. We must protect vaccines & keep our kids safe.
