I am voting against this attack on our hardworking public servants. I remain committed to expanding federal telework, which has a proven track record of boosting productivity, improving employee recruitment and retention, and saving taxpayers money.

Today, House Republicans are pushing the SHOW UP Act, a bill that would significantly cut federal telework.
Federal employees show up to serve the American people every day, and telework programs help modernize and strengthen our federal workforce on behalf of the public.

Congress has made great progress in addressing the mental health and substance use disorder crises. During today’s #SubHealth hearing, I will urge my colleagues to build on that success by supporting evidence-based policies that save lives.

The brutal killing of Tyre Nichols at the hands of six Memphis police officers is horrific. As a nation, we cannot tolerate this inhumanity by those who are tasked to protect and serve the community. We must demand accountability, justice and reforms to policing practices.

It is critical that we confront the normalization of anti-Semitism, condemn Holocaust denialism and drive out hate. We must come together as a unified front against these unconscionable attacks on the Jewish community and work to create a more just, inclusive future.

I am voting against the #BigOilGiveaway that would increase drilling on public lands and restrict the federal government’s most powerful tool to lower gas prices. To boost energy security, we must protect consumers from price gouging and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels.

On this 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in #RoeVWade, I will continue to support a statutory right to provide and receive abortion care and access to contraception. We must restore these fundamental freedoms.

It has been nearly seven months since extremist justices on the Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade and a half a century of well-settled judicial precedent. In doing so, they have disrespected the voices of the broad majority of Americans who support reproductive freedom.

The priorities of the American people – not deep-pocketed donors or special interests – should drive Congress’ agenda. We must continue to fight for comprehensive reforms that push back on the Citizens United decision and give everyday Americans an equal voice in our democracy.

Today marks 13 years since the Citizens United decision opened the floodgates for wealthy donors and special interests to exert undue influence over our political process. To date, corporations and moneyed interests have funneled billions into our elections.

The Citizens United decision has allowed wealthy corporations and special interests to funnel billions into our elections. I’m a cosponsor of the Democracy For All Amendment to curb the influence of money in politics and give the American people an equal voice in democracy.

BREAKING: We've introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and the irresponsible SCOTUS decisions that came before it.
Unrestricted dark money has no place in our elections or democracy. We need to return power to people. Once and for all.

I oppose the potential sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey. We should not reward, accommodate or seek to cajole the Erdogan regime, given its ongoing demonstration of contempt for international standards, human rights and the sovereignty of nations.
