Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was harmful and wrong. Today, we celebrate 14 years since its repeal, which ensured LGBTQ+ service members could serve our country while being their truest selves. Let's keep pushing to guarantee equality for every American. #LoveIsLove

It is clear: House Republicans need @housedemocrats.bsky.social support to pass anything of importance.
The House is about to vote on a Continuing Resolution with NO disastrous debt limit proposal - a vote Republicans could have called DAYS (WEEKS) ago instead of driving our government to the brink of shutting down at the whim of Trump and Musk. 🧵
The efforts to derail the will of the American people by a billionaire looking for a handout were based on lies and abuse of facts.
We had a deal. Republicans broke that deal, but they can still save the day by honoring their word and voting on the bill we agreed to. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/u...
I’m here to work, but Republicans just sent us home for the night. The American people are counting on us. We have 48 hours left.
Shutting the government down could cost the American taxpayer millions of dollars every single day, and a long-term shut downs have upwards of $1 billion in negative economic consequences.
So, House Republicans are going to listen to billionaire-in-chief, Elon Musk, instead of keeping Americans fed, our borders secure, and our service members paid? Make it make sense! We’re here to get the job done, let us do it. 🧵

I joined members of the Merchant Payments Coalition to collaborate on ways to increase transparency for consumers and protect small business owners from prohibitive fees. MI-03 is a growing hub for entrepreneurs and locally-owned businesses, and I'm determined to keep it that way!
More than 550 coats donated and COUNTLESS hearts warmed at last week’s Mix 95.7 Warm Hearts Coat Drive. It was so special to join Big Joe and Laura in spreading some holiday joy to our community this winter. Looking forward to the next one!

Lake Michigan is our pride and joy in MI-03, and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative would protect and preserve our waterways for generations to come. I’m working with colleagues across the aisle to pass GLRI and invigorate our local economy. Read more. www.eenews.net/articles/bip...
Seasons greetings! Remember to send your handmade ornaments to decorate our tree in our D.C. office! If you are an elf – I mean a young ornament maker – or know one, see this video for more information on how to send in your ornament. Happy decorating, West Michigan! 🎄
I seek common ground in common sense, especially regarding clean energy policy – and I’m so thankful to the Department of Treasury for incorporating my suggestions and finalizing my rule. More here. thehill.com/policy/energ...
Twelve years ago today, we lost 20 beautiful, young students and 6 educators in the senseless, tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. I pray for the families of the victims.
Our children deserve a future free of gun violence. We don't have to continue living like this.
Accessible, affordable housing should include EVERYONE. Thank you to Academy Manor and the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids for hosting me and being such incredible partners in the work to help our seniors thrive in their golden years.
With many cold, wintry weeks ahead of us, it was so meaningful to participate in the Mix 957 Warm Hearts coat drive in Wyoming today. Let’s continue supporting our neighbors however we can, West Michigan. Our warmth is what makes our community so special. 🧥
Team Scholten hosted our interviews for prospective applicants to our nation’s prestigious service academies today, and WOW, these students are impressive! I know we'll have a tough time selecting finalists – we have so many future leaders to be proud of here in MI-03.
If you can’t pass a background check, there’s a reason. If you’re buying or building a ghost gun to get around that, THERE'S A REASON.
Ghost guns have no place in our communities — so let's find common ground in common sense and take action now.
