This week I filed the U-Fight Act, legislation to jumpstart research and improved treatment for fibroids. This is personal to me - and to millions of women.

I join people from across Northeast Ohio in mourning the loss of Officer Phillip Wagner and my prayers are with his family and loved ones. It’s a painful reminder of the risks that law enforcement take every day to keep us safe. My heart goes out to our neighbors in Lorain.

But now their story is known. Naming the post office in honor of Tech Sergeant Minter is a way to ensure her legacy, and the legacy of Six Triple Eight, lives on in the hearts of the community she called home.

The Six Triple Eight was the first and only all-Black Women’s Army Corps unit to serve overseas during the war. Minter and the Six Triple Eight cleared a backlog of over 17 million pieces of mail - connecting the home front and the front lines and boosting morale.

Trump is taking us backwards. Instead of righting wrongs and helping Black farmers, he's implementing a resegregation agenda.

The agency will no longer use the term "socially disadvantaged," saying it has sufficiently addressed historic discrimination.

Pro tip: If there are headlines about your big ugly bill with the word "catastrophe" in them, you did a bad job.

The Trump Administration is attempting to cut funding for NASA without congressional approval. This is illegal, unconstitutional, and wrong. It's also bad for NE Ohio, undermining the work done at NASA Glenn and undercutting the Ohioans who work there.
🚨NEW: Committee Leaders @RepZoeLofgren & @ValerieFoushee Demand @NASA Cease Scheme to Illegally Impound FY25 Funds, Warn of Losing Leadership in Space. “This is impoundment in action, and it must stop immediately.".

Get your health insurance through the Affordable Care Act? You can thank Trump and Republicans in Congress when your premiums go way up next year. They don't care, they got the tax cuts for millionaires that they care about.
Exclusive: Insurers are seeking hefty 2026 rate increases for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, the coverage known as Obamacare .

More late night cuts from Republicans, this time pulling back funding that most of them voted for in March. On top of that the cuts are wrong. I can’t with these folks.
