Our hearing with Acting AG Todd Blanche should concern us all. He is not working for survivors of Epstein or the American people. He is working for one man — Donald Trump.

Utility bills are too high, and families need solutions. Our Energy Bills Relief Act can bring needed help by reinstating clean energy tax credits. Glad to join Congresswoman Scanlon & the Clean Air Council in our call for a greener future.

Voting rights are under attack. Not since Jim Crow have we witnessed such a blatant and disgusting effort to disenfranchise Black voters. We must protect our sacred right — before it is too late.

It's all about the grift with this administration. While a war rages on and everyday prices for Americans skyrocket, this President is looking out for one person — himself.

Because of Trump’s illegal tariffs, grotesque immigration policies, and now a deadly war with Iran that has cost $30 billion — Everything costs more. The president does not care. Now, he wants American taxpayers to fund his golden ballroom.

We need to be dealing with China from a position of strength. The President's irrational behavior weakens us.

Today is Star Wars Day. The saga reminds us that fear and lies only pull us toward the abyss. In Star Wars: Andor, their message rings true today— leaders have a responsibility to tell the truth and choose integrity over manipulation.

I know we're not alone in the joy Artemis II brought to our community. And from Bally Ribbons to McDaniel to the Birds — there’s no shortage of our connection to this historic feat.

This week I pressed the Commerce Secretary on Epstein and on unlawful tariffs. What became clear is that this administration isn’t addressing Americans’ concerns — only scrambling to manage the fallout from its own actions.

Secretary Lutnick misled the public about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.   The American people deserve the truth.

RFK Jr. is proud of the dangerous cuts he has made to our nation's fight against the mental health and substance use crises. His leadership is incompetent. These people are not serious — they're cruel.

In what world do the President and Vice President publicly chide the Pope?    We should be looking to his example of compassion, not the chaos and fear dominating this administration’s word and action.

56 14

Democrats are in DC today to introduce a War Powers Resolution while Speaker Johnson is nowhere to be found. Service members are at risk, Americans are scared, and the world is on edge over this President’s erratic actions. We must stop this war of choice.

53 22

It is time for the 25th Amendment.    Trump is threatening war crimes, forcing the entire globe to wait and wade in his madness. He is unhinged and unwell.    I call on Vice President Vance, all cabinet members, and Congressional Republicans to say enough is enough.

Pam Bondi won’t be missed. The next Attorney General must prioritize full transparency and serve the American people, not cater to Donald Trump.

Today, I visited the Philadelphia Federal Detention Center, now operating as an ICE detention site. I thank Bureau of Prisons staff for a thorough tour. As this administration mobilizes federal resources for an inhumane agenda, I remain committed to holding ICE accountable.

Speaker Johnson had the opportunity to end the government shutdown. He chose not to.

35 9

Congress has the power to fund TSA. The Republican House majority does not have the will.

69 31

This President’s reckless war of choice is putting countless lives at risk. Americans, service members, and civilians in the Middle East shouldn’t be put at risk because of this administration’s erratic and dangerous decisions.

32 8

Mr. Speaker, Americans are fed up. Bring the bill to fund TSA and other key agencies to the floor now.

A plaque meant to honor the courage of Jan. 6 officers was finally hung — 5 years later, in a quiet basement, in the middle of the night. Our law enforcement deserves better than this kind of disregard.

68 28

As a grandmother of seven, I want to trust that our institutions will protect our children's health. There is no room for political ideology in the NIH.

36 9

House Democrats want to fund key DHS agencies and pay TSA workers — while we address Americans' concerns about ICE. If House Republicans are serious about making America safe, they would join us.

53 19

I’m at the Dilley detention center, where 5‑year‑old Liam Ramos was once held and where hundreds of other children continue to endure harsh, unacceptable conditions. This isn’t sound immigration policy — it’s cruelty.

86 42

This week, I voted for the War Powers Resolution to rein in this President. We have been led into a war of choice with Iran, and Congress must reassert our authority. We owe it to the American people, especially our service members.

62 15

Capt. Cody Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, Sgt. Declan Coady, Chief Warrant Officer Robert Marzan, and Maj. Jeffrey O'Brien. I mourn the heavy loss of our six U.S. service members in Kuwait. Americans deserve answers.

41 13

We’re being pushed toward war with no strategy, while service members are exposed, Americans are stranded, and civilians are suffering. This is not foreign policy — it’s chaos.

33 8

No one is shedding a tear for the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and his murderous regime. Yet, our founders made clear that a President cannot declare war without Congress. The American people deserve answers.

45 14

SCOTUS confirms the President's disastrous on-again, off-again tariffs are illegal and unconstitutional. Americans deserve their money back.

44 11

Nothing captures last night better than The Emperor's New Clothes. My Republican colleagues have an audience of one at the cost of all Americans.

Since January 1, 85,000 Pennsylvanians have lost their healthcare. People who will delay life-saving care because they can't afford it. The House voted to extend the ACA tax credits for three years. I urge the Senate to do the same.

43 16

For decades, public libraries have been authorized passport acceptance sites.   It’s convenient, it’s secure, and it brings in critical revenue to support library resources.   My bill would reverse the State Department’s nonsensical decision to cut this service.

41 12

What we’ve seen with ICE in Minneapolis is horrifying. The First Amendment must be upheld, not threatened by the Trump administration.

59 26

ICE is sowing chaos, fear, and cruelty. This must stop. It’s time to hold this administration accountable for the harm being done to our communities.

"Make America Healthy Again" cannot coexist with attempts to cut public health programs. Democrats on the Appropriations Committee are fighting for critical funding.
