The charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver are a direct attack on Congress’s duty to conduct oversight of the Trump administration. I stand with my colleague—and with every Member fighting to serve the American people without fear. These politically motived charges need to be dropped.
This is a complete and total insult to the dedicated U.S. Capitol Police Officers who risked—and in some cases lost—their lives to defend the Congress and our democracy on January 6, 2021.
Last week, House Democrats fought to honor the officers who responded to the Jan. 6 attack. House Republicans ignored us & refused to follow the law. Yesterday, DOJ doubled down on the insult to the brave officers who protected Congress & our American democracy.
I’m deeply saddened to hear about President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. Having lost a family member to cancer, I know how painful and uncertain this moment can be. I’m grateful for his leadership, resilience, and lifetime of service to our nation. He is in my prayers.
Congratulations to William, Christopher, Caroline, and Enzo, Rochester students nominated by my office who received an appointment to one of our Military Academies!
Today marks the anniversary of the founding of Head Start—a program that has helped millions of children thrive for 60 years. Despite Trump's threats to the program, I’m fighting to protect it from devastating cuts because every child deserves a shot at a brighter future.

Today, on Armed Forces Day, we honor the bravery, service, and sacrifice of our military members past and present. I'm committed to ensuring they have the resources and support they deserve, especially through my work on @democrats-appropriations.house.gov.
No one, including the President, should be allowed to violate the law simply because they do not agree with it.   We must hold the Trump administration accountable for their illegal overreach.
I founded Optics and Photonics Caucus because I believe light-based technologies hold limitless potential. At a time when science and evidence-based research are under threat, we must invest in emerging technology to drive innovation, improve lives, and secure our leadership on the global stage.
Today, we celebrate International Day of Light—which marks the anniversary of the first successful laser surgery in 1960 by Theodore Maiman. I introduced my resolution to make today "National Day of Light" across America.
Grateful to meet with the Urban League of Rochester team in D.C. Their dedication to advancing workforce development, community safety, and voting rights is creating lasting impact in communities of color across #ROC. Excited to keep building on this important work together.
During #NationalWomensHealthWeek, we must recommit to protecting reproductive health for women everywhere. Republicans are trying to defund Planned Parenthood—putting essential care like cancer screenings, birth control, and STI testing at risk. Women's health is not optional.
President Trump is trying to hijack the Library of Congress. It’s not just inappropriate—it’s illegal. We can’t stand by while the executive branch invades the authority of Congress.
As global threats evolve, it's vital that our Navy and Marine Corps personnel are fully equipped to respond and protect our nation. Watch the House Committee on Appropriations hearing where we discussed how we're investing in their safety and readiness ⬇️
House Democrats demand the plaque honoring the officers who responded on January 6th & protected our U.S. Capitol be properly displayed—as the law states. I saw it in the Capitol basement. It’s a shame the Speaker & House Republicans won’t honor those who protected all of us on that dark day.
