I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver who exercised her Congressional authority to ensure detained immigrants in her district were being treated fairly and humanely. Congressional oversight is our duty – not a crime. DOJ’s baseless charges against her are an affront to our.

Last night, House Ag Republicans voted to advance $290 billion worth of cuts to SNAP, putting over 4 million children at risk of going hungry. I urge my colleagues to vote down this cruel legislation should it come to the floor.

Whether you're buying NFL tickets or concert seats, you shouldn’t need a calculator to know what you'll pay. Glad to see the FTC holding StubHub accountable to the new Unfair and Deceptive Fees Rule, which was passed under Chair Lina Khan’s bipartisan leadership.

Republicans are trying to block medically necessary and lifesaving healthcare for transgender minors in their reconciliation package. They hope these cruel attacks on the trans community will distract Americans from the fact that they are trying to rip healthcare away from.

Republicans want to gut key programs that protect people from respiratory diseases and deadly pollutants and allow fossil fuel companies to bribe the government in exchange for a permit.

Medicaid is a lifeline for over 128,000 people in the Illinois Ninth - most of them children and seniors. Republicans want to gut their care to give tax cuts to the rich and corporations.

Trump is trying to illegally fire all Democratic @USCPSC commissioners. Americans depend on the CPSC to keep dangerous products away from our families - especially our kids. This isn’t just illegal. It’s reckless and puts lives at risk!.

President Donald Trump fired the three Democratic commissioners on the five-person Consumer Product Safety Commission, his administration’s latest test to the limits of presidential power over independent agencies.

Americans deserve to age with dignity and respect! Yet Trump and House Republicans are hellbent on destroying Medicaid & Social Security. As Chair of the Task Force on Aging & Families, I’ll never let that happen! . I'm fighting to protect seniors and people with disabilities.

House Democrats launched a task force on aging designed to shine a light on Republican plans to cut Medicaid as part of President Trump’s “big beautiful bill” of domestic priorities. Follow the live updates here:

Last week, @DorisMatsui & @RepBonamici and I led 63 House Democrats in a letter opposing the elimination of the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Millions of people rely on ACL's programs, and we will fight to stop Trump's attempt to rip away these crucial benefits.

I wrote the Women, Peace & Security Act with @SenatorShaheen, @KristiNoem, @RepEliotEngel, @RepEdRoyce, & @SenCapito. It passed Congress unanimously. Trump signed it. Gutting it is reckless, unlawful, and will hurt our national security for decades to come.

At a time when the Trump Administration and the GOP are attacking the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, we need federal legislation that will codify anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination. That's why I am proud to be a cosponsor of the #EqualityAct and will never stop fighting for LGBTQ+
