Islamophobia has no place in our country. Rep. Randy Fine's comments are vile, racist, and beneath an elected official who serves in the people's house. This kind of bigotry should not be tolerated.

The 14th Amendment was ratified 157 years ago, enshrining the rights to Equal Protection for citizens born or naturalized in the U.S. and Due Process for all in law. Today, the Trump Administration is attacking these rights. I will continue to stand up for the rule of law.

Adding more than $3 trillion to the deficit will increase interest rates and inflation which will have devastating impacts to small businesses across America. www.inquirer.com/business/bud...

The ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ may create big ugly problems for small businesses

While the law provides some benefits for businesses, those may be outweighed by significant risks, small-business consultant Gene Marks writes.

Laying off tens of thousands of federal workers without the oversight or approval of Congress will result in essential services being depleted for Americans. It's not efficient. It's chaos.

Another arbitrary and capricious decision by the Trump White House has abruptly blocked millions of dollars promised to PA schools. #NoWayToRunACountry www.inquirer.com/education/pe...

The Trump administration is withholding $230 million in education funding from Pa. schools

The cuts have left school districts in the Philadelphia area in limbo after they already approved budgets relying on that funding.

This administration is shortchanging America's heroes. Reducing VA staff by 30,000 is a large-scale reduction in force, and it will have consequences. 📰 Statement from @delauro.house.gov & @wassermanschultz.house.gov: democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-r...

The destruction and loss of life in Central Texas are heartbreaking. My thoughts are with those recovering, grieving, and searching for their loved ones, and with our brave first responders as they continue to search for those who are still unaccounted for.

The answer is no. Plain, clear, and simple: OBBB does not eliminate taxes on social security. Anyone who says it does is lying.

White House blocked funding for after-school and summer programs, the day before funds were to be sent - this hurts poor kids the most. penncapital-star.com/education/tr...

Education advocates said the failure to release the funds was reckless and unlawful and would affect the state's most vulnerable students.

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 For 249 years, Americans have fought to advance freedom, opportunity, and equality for all - to form a more perfect union. Attempts to sell out our hard-won freedoms will always fail. We will never stop fighting to make the American Dream a reality for all.

The result of today’s vote on the OBBB is disappointing, to say the least. But the fight isn’t over. I’ll press on for a better future for all Americans.

House Republicans took an unconscionable vote to strip healthcare and food assistance from millions of Americans to give the ultrawealthy a tax cut. I voted no. Read my full statement below: scanlon.house.gov/news/documen...

Republicans are getting pressured by the White House to vote for a bill that they know takes away Healthcare and SNAP from Millions of Americans. We’ll fight them for as long as it takes to stop the Big BS Bill from passing!

As House Republicans attempt to take the next step, remember: this bill cuts health care from millions of Americans. But don’t take our word for it – hear from Republicans in Congress:
