Delighted to spend the morning at the Good Samaritan Center of Douglas County and hear about their work to keep Atlanta healthy and nourished. Thanks for having me—we appreciate all you do!

The Trump Administration Department of Education and OMB are illegally withholding $7 billion in education funding, jeopardizing the success of millions of students. I'm leading 150 House Democrats in demanding answers.

Last week's budget passed by Republicans will cut food assistance to families across America. No child should worry about where their next meal will come from. I visited @AgapeAtl to help serve lunch to summer camp students and stay in touch with some of my youngest

I was pleased to sit down with officials from the City of South Fulton @COSFGA to discuss how federal programs can support their goals and priorities. At a time when many funding mechanisms are under attack, I am committed to uplifting every opportunity to assist the cities and

As search and rescue efforts continue in Texas, my heart breaks for families who are grieving the loss of a loved one and for all those who have been impacted by the flood. I am grateful for the continued efforts of public safety officials working around the clock.

I voted NO on the Republican megabill because health care is personal to me, as it is for so many in this country. Something as sacred as our family’s health should not be used as a bargaining chip. Everyone deserves the chance to live a long and healthy life—this bill takes us.

More than 1 in 3 people living with a disability in America rely on Medicaid. Over 700,000 Americans with disabilities are already on a waiting list for Home & Community Based Services, which are funded by Medicaid. The proposed cuts to Medicaid would further limit access to.

Georgia has one of the worst rates of maternal health in the country. Nearly half of all births in Georgia are covered by Medicaid. At a time when over 40% of Georgia counties are considered maternal health care deserts, we cannot afford these cuts. If signed into law, this.

Over a million veterans rely on SNAP benefits. These are men and women who wore our nation's uniform who now rely on public assistance programs. We have an obligation to ensure that those who served our country can count on their government to assist them in their time of need.

1 in 5 small business owners, employees, and their families are covered by Medicaid. Over half of ACA Marketplace enrollees work in small business. The Trump Administration has already created enough chaos and uncertainty for our small business owners. Passing this bill would be.

This reconciliation bill cuts SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans depending on SNAP to feed their families. At a time when Georgia kids are already struggling due to the decision by our state government not to participate in the Summer EBT program, we can't afford more cuts.

Since Trump took office, the Republican majority has been pushing a budget plan that would kick millions of Americans off their health care. In Georgia alone, over 600,000 people will lose the care they need. This bill threatens the lives of my constituents. I'm voting no.

House Democrats are resolved in our fight against this disastrous bill. Overnight, we have remained on the floor, speaking up and standing out against the impacts this will have on families across America. Make no mistake: this bill will throw millions of Americans off their.

House Republicans REFUSED my amendment to protect health care under Medicaid and food assistance under SNAP.

I’m back in DC to fight against this catastrophic bill. We only need 4 Republicans to have the courage to protect the American people and join us in voting NO.

Senate Republicans just passed a budget bill with VP Vance breaking the tie to push it through. It kicks millions of kids and families off their health care, guts food assistance, and puts hospitals on the brink. It's not what the American people want. House Dems are taking.
