It was 53 years ago when Roe v. Wade guaranteed access to safe, legal abortion care.
But the right-wing, rogue Supreme Court stripped away that right. We can’t accept this as reality.
We will not stop fighting until we restore reproductive rights!

The DHS appropriations bill we just voted on funds detention, deportation, and further enables abuse and lawlessness.
I voted NO. I will not empower Trump's secret police.
Instead, we should impeach Kristi Noem and pass humane, comprehensive immigration solutions.
While people are working multiple jobs just to afford their prescriptions and medical bills, Trump wants to spend $700 billion of taxpayer money on Greenland.
We should be investing in affordable health care and real solutions for families, not alienating allies for his ego.
Let Dr. King’s teachings serve as a guide for us all as we advocate for a more just society, one in which our systems work for everyone, not just a wealthy few. We will stand together, organize, and fight back.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. presented us with the vision of a world where justice and love triumph over bigotry and hate.
Attempts to undermine #MLKDay or sow division defy everything he stood for. We are more alike than we are different.
When companies profit, workers should too.
I’m proud to support @afacwa.org Flight Attendants who are picketing today demanding a fair contract from United Airlines.
When we fight, we win! #UnionStrong #ContractNow
Americans overwhelmingly do not want another war, and the United States must not weaponize their struggle for political gain.
Standing with the Iranian people means opposing repression by their own government and exploitation by outside powers.
The Iranian government must end its brutal crackdown and uphold basic human rights.
America’s nurses are sounding the alarm🚨!
Hospitals can’t deliver quality care when nurses are stretched too thin. I have legislation to set safe staffing ratios, protect nurses who speak up, and improve patient care.
It’s time to support our nurses and put patients over profits!
Nearly 15,000 nurses went on strike at several key New York City hospitals.
Nurses went on strike because management refused to agree to safe staffing levels for patients and has threatened to discontinue or cut nurses’ health benefits, the union said.

I've reintroduced legislation to end Medicaid Estate Recovery—a cruel, hidden policy that demands the repayment of long-term care benefits after a loved one dies.
It recovers less than 1% of costs while causing immense harm.
This unjust policy must end.
My treasured friend @hoyer.house.gov has spent decades putting country over politics and democracy over self.
As we both leave Congress, one of my fondest memories will always be his leadership, his advice, and his friendship. I’m honored to have served with him.
Thank you, Steny.
Public health guidance should be based on evidence, not RFK Jr. pseudoscience.
The new dietary guidelines from the Trump administration push dangerous misinformation, including labeling beef tallow a healthy fat.
HHS and USDA must reverse course before heart disease rates climb.
New US food pyramid recommends very high protein diet, beef tallow as healthy fat option, and full-fat dairy www.livescience.com/health/food-...
Today, an ICE agent killed someone who was protesting ICE's reckless abuse of power.
This is horrific and cannot be ignored. There must be accountability, now.
January 6 was a violent attack on the heart of our democracy that was incited by Trump and enabled by Republican leaders.
Five years later, Speaker Johnson and the GOP still excuse the lies and violence that fueled it.
We won't forget. We won't be silent. And we won't let them rewrite history.
I strongly condemn Trump’s unilateral strikes and regime-change efforts in Venezuela, which was carried out without Congress and in violation of international law.
Simply put, this is about oil and enriching himself and his billionaire donors. The American people don’t want another war for oil.
Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🎆
As we enter 2026, I’m grateful for the strength of our community and hopeful for what we can achieve together.
I’ll never stop fighting for families and a more just future.
Merry Christmas to everyone in the 9th District and beyond!
May this season bring happiness, peace, and hope to you and your loved ones. 🎄⭐️🎅
