If you're not one of Trump's billionaire friends, they don't care about you. Our number one priority must be advocating for our constituents; that's why I've always fought to expand access to healthcare, not rip it away from those who need it most.

President Trump cheats at golf, cheats on his taxes, and cheats his business partners. So of course he’s trying to cheat voters—he fears the people’s verdict.

Political loyalty can't fight pandemics; qualified public health experts can. RFK Jr. is putting politics first and our health second.

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the Civil Rights March on Washington. The fight for equality did not end in 1963—it remains our responsibility today. As top Democrat on @HouseAdm_Dems I'll keep fighting to protect access to the ballot box for all American voters.

We need to tackle the very real concerns Americans have:. Bring down the cost of living. Protect lifesaving resources. Defend our democracy.

Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and has been used for decades. Even President Trump has voted by mail. Trump and his Republican allies know their agenda is unpopular and are trying to make it harder for Americans to vote. We will not let that happen.

Everyone should know that the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it's unconstitutional to toss out mail-in ballots for simple envelope dating errors.
NEW: It's unconstitutional for Pennsylvania officials to discard mail-in ballots simply because the outer envelope is undated or misdated, a federal appeals court ruled, finding the requirement disenfranchised thousands with negligible benefits.

I'm devastated by the lives taken and for the community forever scarred by this tragedy. These children should be enjoying their first week at school, not mourning their classmates. My prayers are with all those victimized by today's shooting.

As parents send their kids back to school, costs are already a strain. Trump’s tariffs only make it worse. We need to focus on lowering costs and helping families make ends meet.

Today, on Women's Equality Day, we celebrate the trailblazers in Rochester and across the country who fought for women's suffrage. As we honor those who came before us, we must recognize the leaders who carry on that work and continue the fight for full equality.

The Trump administration pushed through a budget that puts millions of Americans at risk, and his tariffs are driving up costs for families. His actions now are an attempt to distract from the issues that are truly affecting our community.

We're going to do whatever we can to fight back against Trump's redistricting plans—and we can't do it with one hand tied behind our back.
