Families are facing higher costs for groceries, rent, and utilities. The Lifeline program can alleviate internet costs. My Promoting Access to Broadband Act brings Lifeline information directly to the people who need it through trusted state and community partners.
It was a joy to join @momsrising.org and so many families last week. Moms and caregivers are superheroes, but raising a family should not take superpowers. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and put families first.
To my incredible spring interns in both my DC and District offices: thank you. Your work on legislation, constituent support, district events, and research made a real difference for our team and the people we serve. I am proud of each of you and wish you the best.
House Republicans kept DHS shut down for over 70 days, cutting off funding for FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and more. They caved after accomplishing nothing. Republicans are playing games with our safety and making life more expensive for families.
Trump is trying to reduce or end SSI support for disabled adults who live with family members receiving SNAP. Families should not be forced into impossible choices because Trump wants to take support away from people with disabilities.
Republicans gifted $210 billion for ICE and Border Patrol. @housedemocrats.bsky.social would’ve used that money to: ✅ Extend ACA tax credits ✅ Reverse SNAP cuts ✅ Fund Head Start ✅ Restore clean energy tax credits ✅ Fund school lunches Republicans chose cruelty over affordability.
Minority Health Month ends today. The disparities do not. Black and Brown families are still facing higher rates of chronic disease, maternal mortality, food insecurity, and barriers to care. Awareness is not enough. We need action that saves lives.
My bipartisan Precision Agriculture Satellite Connectivity Act was added to the Farm Bill as an amendment to help farmers integrate technology into their operations. But I could not in good conscience vote for such a harmful Farm Bill. Read my full statement here:
This Republican Farm Bill fails to reverse SNAP cuts, ignores tariffs, and puts pesticide corporations first. Republicans are stealing food from the mouths of children and refusing to alleviate burdens facing farmers. I voted NO.
Internet access is not a luxury. It is how families connect to work, school, healthcare, and opportunities. Today, with @durbin.senate.gov, I introduced the Promoting Access to Broadband Act to help families navigate the enrollment process to Lifeline for affordable internet.
The Supreme Court just weakened the Voting Rights Act and made it easier to silence Black voters. Let’s be clear: this is not about “fair maps.” It is about disenfranchising Black voters. We need the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana, weakening a landmark voting rights law’s protections against discrimination in redistricting.
Gas is over $4 a gallon. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Families are choosing between groceries and rent. Instead of lowering costs, House Republicans are pushing a cruel “Don’t Say Trans” and forced outing bill to attack trans kids. I’m a HELL NO.
I was grateful to join @NMQF.bsky.social for a thoughtful conversation on healthcare, equity, and the work ahead. I came to Congress to listen first and fight for my constituents’ healthcare and safety. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy few.
@krisbrown.bradyunited.org has helped shape the gun violence prevention movement for decades. From the Brady Bill to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, Kris has never accepted gun violence as normal. I’m proud to recognize her courage, partnership, and fight to save lives.
@sewell.house.gov is a trailblazer, a champion for voting rights, and the proud representative of Alabama’s civil rights district. From the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to early cancer detection, her leadership is personal, powerful, and deeply needed.
Yesterday, at the @NMQF.bsky.social Summit, I was proud to present Congressional Awards to two women whose leadership has changed lives. Both of these women have protected our democracy, expanded access to health care, and fought for safer communities.
