    Happy ! Today we celebrate the progress we’ve made in breaking down barriers and glass ceilings like right here in Congress. While we’ve made great steps for equal representation, the fight continues.

    Today, I joined members to fight back against President Trump and Mitch McConnell’s unyielding campaign to pack the courts with anti-worker judges. I'm proud to stand with federal workers who dedicate themselves to serving and protecting our country every day.

    There's a clear lack of humanity in how Customs and Border Protection treats immigrants crossing the border. We must change the culture and train CBP to give asylum seekers, esp. children, the care they need and treat them as humans seeking a better life.

    When Kevin McAleenan comes before the Judiciary Committee today, we'll question him on what happened at CBP when two children died in their custody and what steps are being made to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

    Today is Day – the day when AAPI women’s pay catches up to what their white, male colleagues earned in 2018. It takes over two extra months to earn what they earn in just a year. It’s time we close that gap and pass the Paycheck Fairness Act now.

    Judicial nominees like Chad Readler promise they'll set aside their ideology and follow precedent when they get their lifetime appointments. We know that's not the case. If Republicans care about protecting those with pre-existing conditions, they'll vote NO on his nomination.

    The man behind the curtain for the Trump admin's decision to side with GOP AGs suing to repeal our health care law? Chad Readler. If Republicans vote to confirm him to the 6th Circuit, they are voting to eliminate protections for pre-existing conditions.

    Republicans hurt women. Now they're condemning women who face the agonizing decision of needing a late term abortion. Compassion and understanding are called for in this situation - it is not the time for the heavy hand of government to reach into our wombs.

    The hard truth is that the Republican Party hurts women. They demonize them for their medical needs, cut off crucial health care, and they create loopholes to allow businesses to exclude coverage. To make sure these efforts stick, they pack the courts.

    Let me be clear: infanticide is already illegal. This bill continues Republicans' ceaseless efforts to push a false narrative to achieve their goals of shaming women, criminalizing doctors, and ending a woman's right to a safe, legal abortion.

    Andrew Wheeler is the perfect example of a cabinet appointment in the Trump era – conflicted, unethical, and hostile to the mission of the agency he was nominated to lead. He shouldn't have been confirmed as Deputy Admin, and he shouldn't be confirmed now.

    Tofu poke was one of the most popular dishes at last year’s Hawaii on the Hill. Today, I visited the company whose tofu was such a hit – where I learned about the history of this third-generation, family owned company and got a taste of their varieties of tofu.
