My statement on tonight’s shooting near the White House.
Read my piece in The Hill about eliminating hedge funds from buying up single-family homes.
There is now bipartisan recognition in Congress that large-scale corporate ownership of single-family homes has distorted the housing market in ways that warrant a legislative response — and that we need to build more homes to address the underlying shortage.
This war has been a disaster from the start.
Whether it’s to pay for a ballroom or hand out tax breaks to the president’s wealthy friends, Donald Trump continues to put the interests of the rich ahead of working families across our country.
After slashing health care for millions of Americans in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” the Trump administration is now threatening to withhold another $1.3 billion in Medicaid funding.
Gas prices have risen 53% higher since Trump started this war of choice with Iran. I’ve heard from my constituents, and they cannot afford to pay an extra $50 at the pump. If the president gave a damn about the finances of the American people, he’d end the fighting today.
These costs add up for Washington families. Trump needs to end this war to help bring economic relief to those back home.
The numbers aren’t lying – the war with Iran has driven prices up for the American people.
Energy prices are up 22% in the past year, which means if you were paying $50 on electricity, that’s an extra $11 each month.
Thousands of transgender service members have served openly with honor and distinction for years, and we must continue fighting to protect their right to serve.
A year ago today, I introduced the Fit to Serve Act, legislation affirming the right of transgender Americans to serve in the United States military. No one willing to serve our country with bravery and patriotism should be denied that opportunity because of their gender identity.
I support a complete ban on hedge fund ownership of American homes and believe institutional investors should be required to sell off their existing holdings over a 10-year period. It's past time to put power in the housing market back into the hands of working families, not greedy corporations.
The bill also places important guardrails on institutional investors in our housing market, earning strong bipartisan support by allowing these organizations to own up to 350 single-family homes without penalty. But today's vote should be the beginning — not the end.
I proudly voted for the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which expedites the building of multifamily, manufactured, and rural housing and expands financing to help homebuyers and developers.

"(Trump)_ has repeatedly said that Iran has agreed to things that they obviously have not agreed to. ... Is the president misinformed? ... Is he that ignorant about the circumstances? Or is he just making it up...?"

"We have critical shortages in munitions & capabilities. How do we innovate faster & get to scale? ... (But) we also have a debt at over 100% of GDP ... How do we achieve our objectives in a more cost effective manner?"
