In Congress, alongside my @HouseDemocrats colleagues, I will continue to fight against these devastating actions by President Trump & work to keep our sacred promise to care for our veterans when they come home.

Our veterans have proudly served our nation and defended our freedom. This union-busting by the Trump administration is a direct attack on workers’ rights and will make it harder for veterans to receive the benefits and care they have earned.
About 80% of VA's roughly 450,000 employees are union members, but the department will no longer honor its contracts with the bargaining units.

Under Trump & congressional Republicans' new budget law, more than 300,000 Pennsylvanians will lose their health care coverage. If you get coverage through Geisinger Health Plan, Keystone First, or another state-funded managed care organization, these cuts could impact you.

Promises made. Promises broken. And it’s hard-working Americans who will pay the price.

On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, this fundamental right is under attack by extreme gerrymandering like in Texas, voter suppression, and election subversion. It’s far past time we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, to protect the right to vote

Have YOUR drug prices come down – or gone up? Trump is claiming he got drug companies to cut prices by 1,500% - which would mean the companies would be paying YOU to take their medicines. Is this the same “math” determining his illegal, chaotic tariff scheme?.
President Trump's claim that his administration has reduced drug prices by up to 1,500% is not mathematically possible.

That kind of shot was first used during the Covid-19 pandemic, but the health secretary has been sharply critical of the technology.

HIGHER prescription-drug prices for you, while billionaires get another tax cut – .that’s why I voted NO on the new Republican budget law & why I’m co-sponsoring @RepLindaSanchez’s bill to #TakeHisKeys & return tariff authority to Congress, where the Constitution says it belongs.
Trump: "We'll be putting an initially small tariffs on pharmaceuticals. But in one year, one in a half years maximum, it's gonna go to 150% and then it's gonna go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country."
