This week, I cleared some new trails with
@WTA_hikers
and met Carole, who’s pushing for more women in technical leadership in the outdoors! You can have the opportunity to work on amazing projects just like these — sign up for the American Climate Corps:
This is a big step by the Labor Dept to modernize our visa system, strengthen worker protections, and increase flexibility, transparency, and recruiter accountability. I was proud to support this rule to improve our H-2 visa program.
Today's big immigration news: the Department of Labor has finalized a major rule on labor protections for temporary or seasonal guest workers here on H-2A visas.
ANOTHER giant win for all Americans!
@POTUS
and
@SecretaryPete
are making airlines fully refund passengers ASAP when their flights are canceled or significantly changed. Oh, and they’re cracking down on hidden fees. Democrats will continue to deliver.
Extreme MAGA Republicans across the country are putting in place cruel anti-abortion laws and threatening to throw Americans in jail for making their own health care choices.
It’s inhumane, anti-freedom, and un-American. We must fight back and enshrine abortion rights for all.
There is a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. There are massive shortages of doctors and teachers, pharmacy and grocery store shelves are empty, and people are suffering. This country is only 100 miles from our border — and we must engage diplomatically with them.
NEW:
@EPA
rolled out a package of environmental standards that will help protect our air and water in communities across America! Democrats are taking the climate crisis fight to Big Polluters and demanding change for the health of our planet and people.
Thank you to everyone who came out to my 110th town hall last night!
Hearing directly from the people I have the honor of representing is the best part of my job. These are always such great conversations and I'm so grateful to have such engaged constituents.
One of the top things I hear when I talk to my constituents is that the skyrocketing cost of child care is completely unaffordable.
That's why I proudly support
@SenWarren
's bill to ensure that no family pays more than 7% of their income on child care.
This was the first time Congress could weigh in on the direction of the war in Gaza & was an important moment to showcase the necessity of a policy shift to stop the killing of innocent civilians. We should not be supplying Netanyahu with military aid to further this destruction.
It was so great to join Pod Save the World this week to discuss my vote against unconditional military aid to Israel and our country's relationship with Cuba.
Tune in for my full conversation with
@brhodes

Donald Payne was an incredible legislator and I’m grateful to have called him a friend. My heart goes out to his family, his loved ones, and his constituents.
As SCOTUS hears arguments today on cruel abortion restrictions, a reminder:
Abortion is health care. Health care is a human right. Democrats will keep fighting to ensure that every person has access to reproductive care and the ability to make their own health care decisions.
Thanks to
@TheSandersInst
for convening a critical discussion about our housing crisis. Each year, tens of thousands of Americans have their homes damaged by climate disaster. I joined our champion
@RepJayapal
to talk about her groundbreaking Climate Resilience Workforce Act.
I was proud to lead a letter with
@ChrisMurphyCT
,
@SenWarren
and
@RepScottPeters
urging the FTC to quickly finalize this rule. 30 million workers in the US are bound by non-competes and this rule will give workers more freedom and ensure we have a strong job marketplace.
This is a great move from the
@FTC
! Noncompete agreements keep wages low and are anti-worker and anti-competitive.
This is a pro-worker move that will mean people get paid more, and I’m proud to have helped advocate for it.
Last year,
@RepJayapal
joined DFP to highlight voters' strong opposition to non-competes:
"Non-competes suppress wages and keep them low ... They’re anti-worker, anti-competitive, and should be a relic of the past."
