When my team met Linda and heard her story, we knew we had to act. People living with disabilities deserve to travel safely and with dignity, so we successfully amended annual FAA legislation to make air travel more inclusive and accessible. Airport adult changing tables are now the law of the land thanks to this amazing Minnesotan's advocacy.

Check out Linda's story and ask yourself, what change can YOU inspire?

Being a father is one of the greatest joys of my life. Now, millions of Americans are seeing their dreams of being a parent crushed as IVF is stripped away.

Americans have the freedom to choose how, when, and if they start a family. It’s time we codify access to IVF and pass the Access to Family Building Act.

Throughout Alabama, there is widespread shock, anger and confusion over how to proceed after the state Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos are people.

Good to see so many amazing Food Allergy Research & Education advocates in Washington last week, including Adina herself. Bipartisan support for our common sense bill keeps rolling in. Here's to making medicine safer for all!

Whether prescribed or over-the-counter, many medications don’t list if they contain a major allergen, like dairy, eggs, peanuts or wheat.

As members of Congress, it’s our duty to ensure America’s national security and our collective personal security - and the risks of misinformation and misuse of personal data is subject to malign actors both home and abroad. Regulation of apps, social media platforms, and artificial intelligence is absolutely necessary, but should only be initiated after intense debate, deliberation, and consideration to ensure it keeps us safe while not impeding our constitutionally-protected freedom of speech.

March Madness is upon us, so it’s a perfect time to check in on sports betting legislation at the Capitol. Who wants it, who doesn’t? Plus, a look at the proposal in Congress to ban TikTok if it doesn’t get a new owner.

I’m among 181 Members of the House of Representatives, all Democrats, to have signed the Discharge Petition to bring the Ukraine aid bill to the floor for a vote.

The rarely successful maneuver would allow a majority of House members to bypass leadership and force a vote on the foreign aid bill.

Thrilled to celebrate my constituent, Keenan Jones, who attended as a guest of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden tonight. When we incentivize public service, we prepare a new generation of leaders to build resilient communities. Glad to see President Biden honoring such a fantastic individual and initiative.

I’m not wishing you a happy International Women's Day, I’m wishing you an ACTIVE one. Since I took office in 2019, women’s healthcare rights have been under unprecedented attack. We must enshrine protections for Roe V. Wade into our constitution once and for all. Let's get to work.

During his State of the Union, President Biden addressed the Supreme Court's decision that ended the constitutional right to abortion, which said that "women are not without electoral or political power."

"You're about to realize just how much you were right about that," Biden said of the women who have gone to the polls in the wake of the Dobbs decision.

It's just common sense!

The ADINA Act, which honors a Maple Grove girl, would remedy a vexing oversight. The nation requires food labels to list major allergens, but the same standard doesn't apply to prescription drugs.

Paul Elmstrand. Matthew Ruge. Adam Finseth. May their memories be a blessing to their loved ones, to our state, and to our nation.
