As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm holding the Trump Administration accountable for the rhetoric on deploying federal agents at polling places, an act that is a violation of federal law.

We will not let them interfere with free and fair American elections.

I voted YES on a War Powers Resolution that would end Trump's illegal war in Iran. It is time to bring our service members home.

At a time when Americans need help affording everyday essentials, the Trump Administration is spending tens of billions, driving up costs, and making life harder for working families. It must stop.

We are witnessing a level of self-enrichment by a president that has never been seen before.

Our number one focus right now needs to be on getting relief to American families who continue to face rising costs. They deserve better.

President Donald Trump has found multiple ways to harness the presidency to benefit himself. His Justice Department agreed to a $1.776 billion fund that could benefit his allies and guard against future IRS audits of Trump, only for the White House to reconsider the fund after outcry from Congress a

LIVE NOW: my colleagues and I on the Appropriations Committee are marking up the Interior and Transportation-HUD funding bills.

Republican proposals would cut investments in affordable housing, infrastructure, and programs that help lower costs for working families.

We're fighting back:

Bill Pulte is wholly unqualified to serve as the Director of National Intelligence. The Intelligence Community must support election administrators and defend our election critical infrastructure.

It cannot be led by a corrupt yes-man devoted to Trump’s personal vengeance agenda.

Pulte became an unlikely figure of Trump's campaign of political combat.

Russia has once again carried out a massive, deadly attack on innocent civilians in Ukraine.

The world must continue to support the Ukrainian people and provide Ukraine with all necessary military equipment, as it defends itself against this brutal aggression.

Moscow’s repeated warnings of a major strike, combined with the delay before it happened, seemed intended to inflict a psychological toll on the Ukrainian capital.

Great to have Rep. Sarah McBride join me for a tour of L3 Harris to learn about their cutting-edge optics work for missions like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.
 
Through this work, we are deepening our understanding of both our world and the universe beyond it.

Families are struggling to make it from paycheck to paycheck, but Trump is using taxpayer dollars to enrich himself, his family, and his allies, all while Acting AG Todd Blanche enables him.

Watch here as my colleagues and I on the House Appropriations Committee demand answers:

House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Commerce, Justic...

My mother had more reproductive rights than my grandchildren have, and that's hard to wrap your head around.

We can't stop fighting to protect the rights we may have once taken for granted.

I’m excited to welcome Rep. Sarah McBride to Rochester!
 
As a member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, she’s touring some of Rochester’s innovative high-tech businesses with me—but no visit is complete without a stop at .
