The Trump administration’s plan to slash Medicare and Medicaid funding is a direct threat to millions of Americans—and to our already strained healthcare system. I will keep fighting against this harmful bill.
I'll keep fighting for a MilCon/VA funding bill that invests in our veterans, their families, and their care. Veterans stood for us, serving with courage and sacrifice—now we must stand for them to ensure they have access to every benefit they've earned.
Last night, we secured over $50 billion for veterans who suffered from toxic exposure. With @wassermanschultz.house.gov‬'s leadership, we fought back against House Republicans' attempt to scrap this funding and won. It's an important win, but their funding bill still fails our veterans.
Investing in America means making sure families can put food on the table and children can grow up healthy and strong. That’s how we secure our nation’s future.
If my Republican colleagues on the Appropriations Committee were serious about investing in America, they wouldn't be trying to take fruit and vegetables away from kids.
In yesterday's ‪House Appropriations markup, I proudly supported ‪@wassermanschultz.house.gov‬'s amendment to prevent the Trump admin's devastating proposed cuts to the VA. We're fighting to support our veterans, but House Republicans chose to uphold DOGE's reckless cuts and abandon VA employees.
The Child Tax Credit has lifted millions of families out of poverty and helped parents provide for their children. Now, Republicans want to take that support away from the kids who need it most.
According to the Secretary of Defense, the Trump administration plans to reduce our support for our ally, Ukraine, in their greatest time of need. Two and a half years into Russia's unprovoked war, we cannot abandon Ukraine in their fight to defend freedom and democracy.
On this day in 1963, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law—yet the fight for pay equality is far from over. The wage gap persists, especially for women of color. We owe it to every worker to close the gap once and for all.
I'm proud to have supported a resolution to designate the House Press Gallery as the "Frederick Douglass Press Gallery." His legacy lives on here in Rochester—and across the nation—as we continue the fight for justice.

The Speaker of the House has shamefully refused to publicly display this plaque honoring the officers who fought & bled defending our Capitol from cop beaters & insurrectionists on Jan 6th. It’s pathetic that some in Congress won’t honor the brave cops who protected our democracy on that dark day.
How can businesses plan for the future when the Trump administration keeps changing its tariff policies? They can’t—and that uncertainty hurts our economy.
Two years ago, the Supreme Court’s decision in Allen v. Milligan affirmed that states cannot draw racially discriminatory legislative maps to weaken the power of voters of color. The fight for fair access continues, but this ruling was a meaningful step toward justice.
Honored to join the congregation of Resurrection Lutheran Church in Rochester as they celebrate 100 years of faith, service, and community. Congratulations on a century of spiritual leadership—and many more to come.
At a time when we need the next generation to lead us forward, failing to invest in the resources they need is shortsighted and irresponsible.
Supporting our veterans is not a partisan issue—it’s an American issue. I was honored to speak with members of the Rochester American Legion and share updates on my work to uphold our commitment to service members—both during active duty and after they return home.
On this day in 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, marking the beginning of the end of World War II. We honor the courage of the heroes of D-Day—and remember those who gave the last full measure of devotion to defend liberty and shape a freer world.
Families are still fighting to pay their monthly bills. Our citizens shouldn't have to 'prove they matter,' in order to access critical medical services. Every American deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare.
Honored to recognize Dr. Munson, President of RIT's well-earned retirement on the House Floor. Under Dr. Munson's leadership, RIT soared into the Top 100 National Universities and reimagined the student experience. Grateful for his friendship and dedicated service over the past 8 years.
