At its core, this resolution condemns political violence, and that’s something we must all do—clearly and without hesitation. That is why I voted yes—and it’s why many of my colleagues did, too.
But democracy means that even people we strongly disagree with—people whose words make our blood boil—still deserve the same rights and protections as everyone else. Freedom cannot be applied selectively.
Let me be clear: I did not agree with Charlie Kirk. His rhetoric was extremist, divisive, and often deeply harmful. I do not support language in this resolution that portrays him as noble or patriotic.
House Republicans’ funding proposal does nothing to lower the cost of living, ensure our students are safe in school, or address any of the real problems our families face. Proud to stand with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to fight for the responsible government people deserve.
Free speech is nonnegotiable in America—it's a right enshrined in our Constitution. Even if we don't agree with it, we must protect it. By attacking anyone who disagrees, Trump is taking another page out of the authoritarian playbook and threatening our democracy. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/18/t...
Photonics began with a simple idea: letting light itself do the drawing. Nearly 200 years later, the photonics field is still fueling innovations that are reshaping our world. Proud to join @spie.org today to discuss our ongoing work to ensure the U.S. leads in this vital field of discovery.
If we fail to invest in the next generation of scientists, we risk losing our edge in a fiercely competitive global economy. The United States can't afford to let that happen.
I’m glad Leader Jeffries, Speaker Johnson, Chairman Steil, and I could work together to double funding for the Member security pilot program. More must be done to protect Members, staff & constituents—but this is an important and necessary start.
I am always appreciative of the opportunity to spend time with the men and women of our labor community. Today I met with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to discuss how we can best support their work to uplift workers and families everywhere.
We need citizens to be engaged in public life. Fear for their safety means only the most aggressive minds will command our politics. We need the full breadth of all American viewpoints.
I'll keep fighting until the day no family has to endure this devastating disease. We’ll get there by investing in research institutions, eliminating barriers to early detection and screening services, and standing with survivors, advocates, and families everywhere.
I gathered with the American Cancer Society today to share a simple message: cancer cannot wait. Those fighting this disease cannot wait, the scientists working on breakthrough treatments cannot wait, and this administration cannot delay and play politics with people’s lives.
As Lead Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I am committed to protecting every eligible voter’s right to register & cast their ballot. I’m not letting the President’s threats and attacks stop me.
