Last night, the House passed a War Powers Resolution to rein in Donald Trump’s illegal war against Iran. This resolution directs the President to end military actions against Iran unless Congress authorizes it.

I am grateful for this critical first step in reinstating Congress's role in waging war. We must keep the pressure on to end US military action in Iran and bring down costs for the American people.
Article I of the Constitution makes clear that Congress is the only governing body with the authority to declare war. President Trump’s actions have not been authorized under the Constitution, nor do they have the best interests of the American people in mind.
Trump's war is costing taxpayers over $1 billion a day; while Americans are seeing gas prices skyrocket and inflation soar.
We are facing a cost of living crisis in the United States, and instead of working to lower costs for hardworking families, the President has spent the last 95 days waging an illegal and expensive war which has significantly undermined our national and economic security.
I was proud to vote in favor of this resolution because I know how detrimental this poorly conceived and executed war has been for the American people.
If Republicans cared about enacting laws to help keep Americans safe, they would join Democrats in pushing for common-sense gun safety laws.
The House just passed a War Powers Resolution. Congress and the American people have spoken: Donald Trump needs to end his reckless war of choice in Iran NOW.
Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 As a proud member of the @equality.house.gov, and a representative of the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection, I'm working every day in Congress to defend the rights of our LGBTQIA+ community.
Just because this Administration deems someone a criminal does not mean they are guilty. Nobody, not even President Trump, can deny someone their constitutional right to due process.
@repjohnlarson.govpeeps.us and I led 74 of our colleagues in a letter to Commissioner Bisignano demanding answers.
Reckless SSA staff cuts and reassignments have resulted in reduced in-person services, office closures, and service delays for beneficiaries. We need to make it easier for constituents to access their benefits, not harder.
Reading this bill, it has never been more clear: my Republican colleagues can always find the money for wars and private prisons, but not to help women and children eat healthy food.
Take a look at $30 of fresh fruits and vegetables that Head Start programs provide. Under the White House's proposed cuts, this is all a Mom and her kids would have for a MONTH. This is plain wrong, especially given the lavish lifestyle of the President and his political allies.
The President has made it clear that he does not care about ending corruption. Congress must enact legislation that would make actions like his payout to criminals illegal.
No president should be able to give political allies a taxpayer-funded reward. While this bipartisan opposition is encouraging, the story is not over yet.
This bill does not prioritize hardworking and vulnerable Americans.
It is so important to connect our local farmers with the folks who need food. At a time when families are struggling with grocery costs, House Republicans are bringing a bill to the floor that fails to fully fund WIC fruit and vegetable benefits.
Some positive news during Pride Month!
At the Delco Environmental Expo, I heard the concerns of our community and joined with state and local leaders to share how we are fighting for the environment.
