The Voting Rights Act happened because people marched, bled and died for it. We can honor that legacy by defending Black representation, which is being undermined more than any time in recent history. Americans deserve an equal say in government, no matter their race or zip code.

As we celebrate the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, we’re determined to protect this fundamental right for all Americans now and in the future.

Our sheet metal, HVAC and transportation workers are foundational to our economy. Without them and our other trades, we can't build things.

Let's be clear about what happened here: this administration tried to send an innocent man to prison for ten years, purely to soothe the president's ego.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act—a landmark piece of legislation that affirmed the principle our nation was founded on: all men are created equal. As its legacy is attacked today, we must continue fighting for the right to vote for every American.

While Virginians struggle to afford housing, health care, gas, and groceries – Trump is focused on profiting off being president. My NO PROFIT Act would put a stop to his latest scheme.

Enough is enough. This time an 82-year-old American man has been left bloodied & injured by the IDF. And another attempt to hide evidence. This has to end. If Ambassador Huckabee can’t protect American citizens from this kind of violence — he needs to resign.

Judge Jennifer Mascott was confirmed to serve Delaware on the Third Circuit. We already knew she wasn’t a Delawarean; apparently, she’s also a judge uninterested in her ethical obligations. We deserve better, and I am exploring all options including making a formal complaint to the Third Circuit.

Access to safe drinking water is not a partisan issue — at least not for the American people. This administration is hellbent on weakening health protections and exposing millions of Americans to toxic chemicals, like PFAS, in drinking water so that others can profit from it. 🧵

Today marks 61 years of the Voting Rights Act and our commitment to ensuring everyone has a voice at the ballot box. Instead of celebrating this milestone, President Trump and his allies continue to try to overturn progress and return us to a time of the past.

These wildfires have taken a heartbreaking toll on the Spokane region, but they have also brought out the best in our community. Thank you to every firefighter, first responder, volunteer, and neighbor who has stepped in to help. You are real-life heroes. ❤️

Trump is manipulating casualty records to try and hide the true cost of his illegal war from the American people. I refuse to let him. My Honoring the Sacrifices of Troops in War Act would ban the Pentagon from doing this, restore our heroes' records and protect their benefits.

I am extremely dismayed that we are 18 months removed from the Flight 5342 tragedy and once again we have a military aircraft - one carrying the president no less - narrowly missing a commercial aircraft near DCA.

BREAKING: Trump's FCC just opened the floodgates for even worse media consolidation. That could mean billionaires buying more local TV stations to raise prices and control more of what you watch. Another Trump anti-monopoly nightmare.

Elon Musk & his DOGE boys wouldn't shut up about the billions in "waste" they were finding. Turns out most of that was a lie (shocker). This was never about "waste," it was about undermining Americans’ faith in govt & grabbing big govt contracts for Trump's billionaire buddies.

Gregg is a FORMER forest service ranger who was fired by Trump last year for NO cause. Border Patrol asked him to help alert the community to ongoing fires around our forests. He did. For free. But there won't always be a Gregg. That's why we don't fire rangers for no reason.

Americans lose more than $12 billion a year from overseas scams, and I know I have constituents whose lives have been upended by sophisticated online fraud. At a time when families are already feeling squeezed, they cannot afford to lose their hard-earned savings to fraud.

Ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians is cruel and wrong. Haiti remains gripped by violence and instability, and the Trump administration is now turning its back on families who have built their lives here and contribute to our communities. We must protect TPS.

The American people want Congress to focus on lowering costs and ending unnecessary wars. Not obsessing over the pandemic and smearing Dr. Fauci—who devoted 50+ years to public service under Presidents of both parties—with unproven conspiracies.

Political theater won’t lower health care costs, protect Medicaid, or make us healthier. Instead of learning from the pandemic and preparing for the future, Senate Republicans chose a political stunt targeting Dr. Fauci.

Trump’s latest waste of time and money: $275 BILLION in taxpayer dollars for a “golden fleet” of Navy battleships with his name on them. Not a single penny to lower costs for the American people. Plenty to serve Trump’s egomania and narcissism.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed with bipartisan support. Now, the President is begging Republicans in Congress to pass a voter suppression bill that will disenfranchise millions. The biggest threat to our democracy is Donald Trump.

Everything the Trump admin does can be summed up in four words: CORRUPTION AT YOUR EXPENSE. Trump is again spending billions of taxpayer money to limit the U.S. energy supply in favor of exporting more energy to countries like China to make your bills more expensive. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

It was an embarrassment to watch my Republican colleagues berate and belittle Dr. Fauci for nearly three hours last week. If they had genuine concern for America’s public health, they would turn their attention instead to the destruction wrought by the Trump Administration’s anti-science agenda.

Trump is trying to destroy Head Start—and he's hoping you won't notice. He's gutting basic standards & protections for over 700,000 kids, after he already tried and failed to defund the program altogether. We need to speak up and SAVE Head Start.
