Over the past year, the Trump Administration’s ICE, Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security’s operations have put the American people at greater risk and caused a public safety crisis with little to no oversight.
Today, I voted against providing funding for DHS. Here’s why 🧵

Watch my full remarks here:
I joined Rep. Miller-Meeks to introduce the Rural & Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act to reauthorize and strengthen a vital program designed to defend rural and small municipal utilities against cyberattacks.
The Energy & Commerce Committee unanimously advanced this bill to the floor today.
I’ll continue to urge this Administration to keep our troops safe and work towards peace.
In a time of executive overreach, Congress must prevent the Trump Administration from asserting unilateral authority over our nation and the well-being of our servicemembers.
Republican leadership, however, seems more concerned with bending the knee than taking a stand for our Constitution.
Absent any evidence of an imminent threat to the United States, our territories or troops, President Trump should have continued diplomatic efforts or sought authorization for military action from Congress.
Waging a war of choice only sheds American blood with no clear long-term strategy.
Iran must not be permitted to develop nuclear weapon capabilities, but the Administration claimed its 2025 unauthorized air strikes ‘completely and totally obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities, and a Pentagon assessment found that Iran’s nuclear program was likely set back two years.
We cannot allow the Administration to continue down this path without consultation and authorization by Congress. The separation of powers exists for a reason, and only Congress has the power to declare war.
I cosponsored and voted for the resolution to call for the immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iran because after six American servicemembers have already died during this war of choice, even one more life lost is too many.
Today’s vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution represents a complete failure from Congressional Republicans to hold the Trump Administration accountable for its unauthorized military actions that threaten further destabilization of the Middle East. 🧵

I try to strike the balance between giving my kids freedom and keeping them safe.
Congress has the opportunity to protect our kids through the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, but the version advanced by Republicans fails to do so.
I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social Democrats to vote no.
I called for Kristi Noem to resign or be impeached. She’s been fired, but her replacement can’t just be more of the same.
DHS must reign in its out-of-control ICE and Border Patrol agents and fix the public safety crisis they created.

New Dem Leadership is voting no on the partisan DHS appropriations bill.
Watch my full remarks here:
During the Energy Subcommittee’s hearing to consider The Pipeline Safety Authorization Act of 2026, I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social Democrats in calling on Republicans to advance a bill maintaining strong oversight rather than their partisan bill that further weakens pipeline safety.
OTD in 1933, FDR appointed Frances Perkins as Secretary of Labor.
As the first woman to serve in a Presidential Cabinet, Frances became a driving force behind the New Deal and a passionate advocate for labor rights during her 12-year tenure. #WomensHistoryMonth
As AI is integrated into telecomm networks, we must address the security and reliability risks.
Today, I introduced the bipartisan AI-Ready Networks Act with Rep. Olbernote to examine AI use in telecommunication networks and the implications for security, reliability and the workforce.
Holding the families of the six service members killed in the line of duty in Iran over the weekend in my prayers. The Defense Department released the names of four of them:
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
