More babies are
#stillborn
in the U.S. every year than child deaths (0-14 yrs) from preterm birth, SIDS, accidents, drownings, guns, fire, and flu combined.
That’s why I support the
#SHINEforAutumnAct
because it’s a crucial step in saving babies’ lives.
The extreme MAGA Republican funding bill shortchanges our veterans by $12 billion.
It also is putting us on track for a costly and dangerous government shutdown.
Over 18 million veterans across the country deserve better. Americans deserve better.

Amber Nicole Thurman, the mother of a six-year-old child, was denied an abortion, resulting in a dangerous infection that took her life.
Congress must restore Roe v. Wade to protect the health and wellbeing of women and families—before more innocent lives are lost.
New: At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories.

It is a solemn day as we commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attack. We remember those we lost and honor those who ran selflessly into danger to save others. Congress must now take care of our brave first responders and work to ensure this never happens again.
We're less than 20 days out from a government shutdown. The American people deserve so much more than this chaos. It's time for cooler heads to prevail and for Congress to fund the government free of Trump's extreme Project 2025 agenda.
Today, I joined the
