Today, I voted present on the motion to table the resolution to impeach Trump. Congress should serve as a check and balance on the White House — not an enabler. Yet Republicans have neglected their duty to conduct oversight on the Trump Administration.
As the Trump Administration decimates the Department of Energy workforce, House Republicans want to overload remaining workers with burdensome busywork that does nothing to support America’s electric supply chain. I urged my colleagues on the House floor to vote no on the Electric Supply Chain Act.
But despite its shortcomings, the FY26 NDAA goes a long way to meet the quality of life needs of our service members and families, supports our nation’s military readiness and reasserts some Congressional oversight responsibility over the Department of Defense.
I also share the concerns raised by the families of Flight 5342 and the National Transportation Safety Board regarding safety in the airspace around Reagan National Airport. I will continue working to address these deficiencies in the FY27 NDAA.
I vehemently oppose their efforts to undermine Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives and the work of the Naming Commission; exclude hard-won provisions for collective bargaining rights for civilian employees and funding for IVF; and target transgender athletes at military academies.
It bolsters our positioning as a leader on the global stage, supports our allies in countries like Ukraine, includes tens of millions in funding for scientific research at HBCUs and more. These positive changes will be felt across every sector of our nation.
While the FY26 NDAA is not a perfect bill and contains provisions I oppose, it stands as one of the few instances in this Congress of an ongoing bipartisan, bicameral negotiation process based in cooperation and compromise. I voted yes. Here’s why. 🧵
Reproductive freedom remains a human rights issue — but reproductive health care has fallen further and further out of reach for millions. This #HumanRightsDay, I joined @repnikema.bsky.social and our Democratic colleagues to announce our resolution affirming reproductive freedom as a human right.

Republicans prioritized tax credits for the wealthiest few above the needs of the American people. Now, millions stand to lose access to their health insurance. I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour on the consequences this crisis will have for families in Virginia’s Fourth and beyond.
The SSEP and Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate project’s developer has shown disregard for environmental and safety regulations, endangering those communities further. I joined @bobbyscott.house.gov and @foushee.house.gov to demand that FERC review the impacts of these projects before advancing.

Page three of letter demanding that FERC thoroughly review the environmental impacts of these projects before advancing them.
As we work to meet our growing energy demands, we can’t overlook the impacts of those projects on our environment. That’s why I introduced a bill with @casten.house.gov and @durbin.senate.gov to require FERC to identify the impacts of natural gas pipeline projects before approving them.
