I introduced a motion to subpoena the Epstein files. We got the votes. Today, we got the subpoena. The DOJ has 2 weeks to release the Epstein files to the Oversight Committee. Justice must apply to everyone, no matter how rich, powerful, or well-connected they are.

Today, @OversightDems are meeting with survivors and victims of Epstein's abuse. While Trump and his admin continue to protect billionaires and the ultra-wealthy, we have to remember and continue to center the very real people who have been harmed by this corruption and abuse.

It's well past time that we empower our unions and let workers govern themselves. We need democratic unions for all. Proud to introduce the Union Participation for All Act to put power back in the hands of the people.

Pittsburgh is a union town, and we're proud of it. Labor is at the forefront of the fight against authoritarianism, because we know solidarity is stronger than any dictator. To our union workers this Labor Day and every day–I've always got your back ✊🏾

Bridgeville had big plans to build infrastructure to control flooding, but the Trump admin pulled their funding at the last minute. Folks here in Western PA should never have to worry about a flood destroying their homes or businesses. I'm proud to work with local leaders like

Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill is going to rip away healthcare and SNAP from millions of seniors while forcing them to pay more for everything from groceries to medication. It's cruel. I joined @RepLPowell and Lawrenceville seniors to discuss how this budget may impact

The passion & skill of young people in Western Pennsylvania is inspiring. I got to see it firsthand at the Weld for Community Summer Bootcamp. We have to keep investing in workforce development programs supporting our youth with the experiences they need to succeed.

The trades and vocational training programs at places like The Trade Institute of Pittsburgh are essential to helping folks develop the skills they need to build careers. Proud to have helped secure $450,000 for their new transitional jobs program.

I went to Moshannon Valley ICE Detention Center to conduct oversight and was shut out. We will not be intimidated and we will not be silent. Congress should pass my Congressional Oversight Access Act to protect lawmakers from violence and retaliation for doing our jobs.

Every young person should have access to the safe housing and supportive environments needed to achieve their goals. Organizations like Auberle and their 412 Youth Zone are clear examples of how far federal investments can go in delivering for our local communities right here in

We are in a failing democracy. For years, billionaires and corporations have been allowed to buy our elections and control our government at the expense of the working class. But we're fighting back. Thank you to the hundreds who attended our Many over the Money roundtable with

Donald Trump and his admin are carrying out an all-out assault on working people and trying to pit us against each other so we blame everyone but the billionaires. We will not let them take our power away.

I am sick and heartbroken hearing about the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic. Gun violence is a policy choice. Everyone, especially our kids, deserves to go to school, to worship, to the grocery or the movies, without fear of senseless & preventable violence.
Breaking News: At least three people are dead, including a gunman, and more than a dozen others were injured in a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, officials said. Follow live updates.

As Israel starves babies in Gaza, this moment of manufactured crisis demands moral clarity & decisive action from the US. I'm joining @RepPressley & @RepPettersen in calling on @SecRubio to facilitate the delivery of aid &.baby formula immediately.

No parent should be pushed into poverty for simply trying to afford care for their babies–our kids are too important. It was great to join ABK Learning & Development to discuss how my Child Care for Working Families Act will strengthen our communities with affordable child care

Netanyahu is calling Israel's double strike on a hospital in Gaza that killed civilians and reporters a “tragic mishap.”. Targeting press is not a mishap. Murdering tens of thousands of Palestinians is not a mishap. Starving civilians is not a mishap. The US must withhold arms.

Donald doesn't like burning the flag, just the Constitution.
President Trump signs executive order on flag burning: "All over the country they're burning flags. through a very sad court. they called it freedom of speech. When you burn the American flag it incites riots. You burn a flag, you get one year in jail."

Yesterday, I was denied entry into the Moshannon Valley ICE Detention Center because ICE is doing everything in their power to hide their horrific treatment of our communities. We will not stand down and will keep doing our jobs to hold the Trump admin accountable.
