This Administration has proven they have an anti-education agenda that goes beyond picking someone to lead the ED who knows more about pro wrestling than education. The newest proposal to downgrade professional status for certain degrees would prohibit countless students from

The most unprofessional Presidential Administration in history—led by a number of highly unqualified Secretaries of HHS, Defense, Education, and other agencies—now wants to tell us which categories in healthcare professions no longer deserve “professional” degree classification

I am concerned over recent changes to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Continuum of Care Program. This program is one of the largest sources of federal funding to combat homelessness, especially for seniors, domestic violence victims, and people with

The Trump administration plans to increase premiums for seniors who use Medicare Part B in 2026. They continue to attack access to healthcare and make life less affordable for Americans.

Brave and valiant Ukraine has fought for its integrity against Russian aggression for three years. Now the US “peace plan” is asking Ukraine to capitulate to Russian demands. Reagan and Bush admirers must wonder what happened to the GOP under Trump to accept this as in America’s

The House spent 7 weeks without voting while our neighbors struggled in this awful economy. We came back this week - with an agenda filled with nonsense resolutions like “the horrors of socialism.” I’m happy to work on and vote on serious measures that help people. I refuse to be

Big win for traveling moms! My Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act just passed Congress and is heading to the President’s desk. This bipartisan bill ensures TSA treats breast milk, formula & pumping gear with the dignity parents deserve.

Earlier this week, I spoke on the House floor against the Senate payout provision that was snuck into the bill to reopen the government. It was just repealed by the House in a 426-0 vote.

The Trump Administration continues with dismantling the Dept. of Education. I strongly oppose plans to transfer offices to other agencies, including almost all grant programs that ED’s offices for K-12 + higher education. Students and families will suffer from this.

Today, the House took a major step towards transparency and making those complicit in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes accountable for their actions. Let’s hope this leads to justice for victims of Epstein’s heinous crimes. The President could have released all the files himself, but it

11 months into Trump 2.0 and prices keep going up! Reports show electricity costs have increased since last year - NYers are now spending $190 more on average than in 2024. All while the Trump Admin cancels clean energy projects that would increase supply and decrease costs.

153,000 job cuts in Oct. makes this the highest total in Oct. since 2003. This year, employers have cut 1.1 million jobs. It's no coincidence this is happening under a Trump Administration who has attacked America’s workers at every turn. https://t.co/jVtrasUDTh
