From the shores of Lake Ontario to our neighborhood parks filled with lilac blooms, this Earth Day, I’m thinking about what makes our community so special. While we celebrate our planet, we must recognize our responsibility to protect it for our health and future generations.

I'm back today with the Appropriations Committee marking up the Financial Services & General Government bill. We need these investments to work for the middle class, not the Trump Administration's billionaire friends. Follow along:

He pardons violent extremists—January 6 offenders—while charging @splcenter.org, a civil rights organization that’s spent decades taking on the KKK.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on charges that it fraudulently paid informants in extremist groups

The head of the civil rights organization said the group was "outraged by the false allegations" leveled against it.

Great to be with @reptedlieu.bsky.social for a briefing on election security this week. We're going to stop any attempts by the Trump Administration to restrict free and fair elections.

Tune in as the Appropriations Committee marks up the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Financial Services & General Government bills. These investments support our veterans, strengthen our communities, and keep government working for the American people.

Millions of Americans—including many here in Rochester—have concerns about the National Guard being deployed to polling places. During an Appropriations hearing last week, I asked the Chief of the National Guard about their plans for the upcoming election. Watch his answer:

Between the Rochester Amerks securing their playoff spot and the Buffalo Sabres starting a historic playoff run with a comeback win, it's a great time for Rochester hockey. Proud to see our region showing up on the ice!

Amerks clinch spot in Calder Cup Playoffs

They managed to secure a postseason appearance by earning the points needed in a loss to the Hershey Bears on Sunday.

I’m heartbroken by the devastating tragedy in Louisiana. Eight innocent children lost in an act of unimaginable violence. No words can capture this loss. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the Shreveport community.

8 children between the ages of 1 and 14 are dead after a mass shooting in Louisiana, police say

Authorities in Louisiana say a gunman killed eight children in domestic-related shootings at two different homes in the city of Shreveport.

Clearly, transparency is not a priority for the Trump Administration. We don't know exactly how much has been spent on Trump's war in Iran, but we do know that's money that could have had a real impact on the lives of hardworking American families here at home.

When 80 million voting age people don't participate in a presidential election, it's a pretty big warning sign. Americans have lost faith in their government. I joined @hcrichardson.bsky.social to share how I'm leading the work that's necessary to restore their trust.

Proud to introduce the Poll Worker Tax Cut Act with Rep. Latimer. Poll workers are essential to free & fair elections. They shouldn’t be penalized for stepping up to serve. This bill ensures their earnings aren’t taxed as income. Let’s support those who support our democracy.

Proud to have @repnikema.bsky.social as a co-chair on the Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force. This is about restoring faith in government. A government of the people. By the people. For the people. We’re committed to doing the work to get there and we won’t back down.
