Veterans Day is a chance to reflect on our gratitude toward the brave men and women who stepped up to selflessly defend our country. In addition to thanking them and their families, let’s all continue to do what we can to support their well-being over the rest of their journeys.

It was great to tour Krume Custom Lumber and Regenerative Industrial in Onalaska. Krume Custom Lumber is uniquely equipped to handle oversized and fire salvaged logs to create hand crafted custom lumber products. It was so cool to see their partnership with Regenerative

@RepGolden is a patriot. He has been a steadfast supporter and an independent voice in the Democratic Caucus. It's been an honor to serve with him in Congress and work with him to lead the Blue Dog Coalition. He will be missed!

Rural Mainers need health care, not the “Hunger Games.” The GOP’s big budget law took 20 percent of federal Medicaid funding away from rural hospitals. Now they’re launching a rushed, unfair rural health fund that’s ripe for political abuse. The bad deal just keeps getting

Our national health is in decline – and Congressional Republicans are knee-capping access to health care. Blue Dogs are proud to endorse @RepAdamGrayCA’s legislation.
Nearly half of the folks in CA-13 rely on Medicaid and are facing higher costs, extended wait times, and longer drives to the doctor. I introduced a bill to reverse Medicaid cuts & extend tax credits to prevent price spikes for Valley families. Let’s get this done.

John Baillie rings loud today — “O merciful Father, you look on the weakness of your human children more in pity than in anger, and more in love than in pity.” Praying for Charlie Kirk and his young family, and that our country would turn towards the peacemakers and away from

Today, on Labor Day, we honor the achievements of American workers. From securing safer working conditions to establishing the 40-hour work week, union workers have built a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation.

My great-great uncle, Andrew Wilson, was a stonecutter in Tenino. So it was especially meaningful to sit down with Dan and Keith, two Tenino stonecutters who are continuing that heritage, to talk about what we can do to foster a culture that values knowing how to make things that
