My flight to DC was canceled so I'm driving to Chicago to catch a 6AM flight because I refuse to miss voting NO on the Big Ugly Bill!

In my district, a beagle breeding facility called Ridglan Farms has hundreds of code violations, including serious harm to the health of the dogs, yet the NIH is still giving funding to groups that use the beagles from this facility. Today, I urged Secretary Kennedy to stop this practice.

Last fall, the Trump administration issued an Orwellian directive called NSPM-7 which would allow them to investigate anyone they deem to be "anti-Christian," "anti-capitalist," or "anti-American," for domestic terrorism. Those are vague and undefined terms, and this directive is a clear effort to silence criticism and dissent by infringing on Americans' freedom of speech. Today, I offered an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, & Science funding bill to prohibit the Trump administration from targeting any person or organization solely for exercising their constitutionally-protected First Amendment rights. Every Republican in Committee voted no.

I asked my Republican colleagues to explain why they want to ban the IRS from providing an online tool that ALREADY EXISTS to allow people to file their taxes for free. *Silence* Every Republican voted against Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's amendment to allow the IRS to offer Direct File. The truth is there is no good reason (other than the fact that Intuit and H&R Block spent more than $85 million on lobbying in the last 10 years.)

They’re selling you a piece of sh*t and telling you it’s a ham sandwich.

Studies show that Trump's dismantling of USAID may have already caused upwards of 1 million preventable deaths worldwide, and could cause up to 14 million more by 2030. At yesterday's Appropriations Committee markup, I offered an amendment that would direct the government to publish a study on how many deaths the shuttering of USAID has caused and could cause over the next five years if these cuts to lifesaving assistance continue. Unfortunately, Republicans rejected this amendment, proving they would rather stick their heads in the sand than acknowledge this unnecessary and tragic loss of life because of Trump's cruel policies.

💥BIG VIDEO💥 As the Pentagon's budget nears $1 trillion, vital programs here at home remain critically underfunded. This week, the House votes on the #NDAA. No more blank checks for failed audits. It’s time to demand accountability from the Pentagon. #AuditThePentagon

Donald Trump is moving ahead with more than $8 billion in weapon sales to Israel. At least 50,000 people have been killed in Gaza, more than 2% of the population. My office used to get a lot of calls about this, but unfortunately, it has fallen off the radar for too many of us. Speak out and make your voices heard!

Yes, the government will reopen today. But here’s what won’t happen: ❌ No protection for 22M paying more for ACA ❌ 15M still losing healthcare due to Big Ugly Law ❌ SNAP cuts remain, $180B slashed from the #1 anti-poverty program ❌ Billionaire tax cuts untouched I hope my Republican colleagues are tanned and rested after their 7-week paid vacation. We’re not stopping. The fight for working people is just getting started.

House Republicans are leaving SENIORS TO STARVE, underfunding Meals on Wheels by $600 million. That could feed nearly 2 million people. Meanwhile, at the White House this weekend, Trump held an extravagant dinner with Congressional Republicans, serving steak and even a fudge-filled seven-layer cake. “Let them eat cake?” How fitting.
