Big Tech's data centers are spiking energy costs for households across our country. If a trillion-dollar corporation wants to build a data center, the American people shouldn't have to pay for it. My Power for the People Act would make sure that Big Tech pays, not consumers.

Trump is so afraid of losing the midterms that he's demanding the USPS not deliver ballots to millions of American voters. As judge after judge slaps down his attempts to rig the 2026 midterms, we must all remain vigilant to ensure voting remains a right promised to every

TPS protects those who'd face danger if they're forced to return to their countries of origin. Many have been here for decades. They're regularly vetted & are part of our communities. Now, SCOTUS is letting Trump send law-abiding TPS holders back into harm’s way. Shameful.

Trump & Hegseth are now asking for $88 BILLION more for their illegal war in Iran.  Just as I predicted, they are pairing this money with other priorities to buy votes for this war.  The American people shouldn't backfill this blunder. Not another dime!

Not one more dime for an illegal war of choice that is making us less safe. The best way to protect our troops, end the killing of school children and civilians, reduce skyrocketing oil and gas prices, and stop wasting billions of taxpayer dollars is to cut off the funding.

Trump told us months ago he doesn't think about Americans' financial situations, and today he proved it yet again. This morning, Trump refused to sign our bipartisan bill to help make homes more affordable. Day after day, he shows his utter disregard for working people.

4 years ago today, Trump's SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, which marked the start of an all-out assault on reproductive rights in America. We cannot stop fighting back in the courts, in Congress, & our communities until we codify a woman's right to reproductive freedom in law.

Dark money groups are spending billions to elect their preferred candidates. 16 yrs ago today, the DISCLOSE Act, a bill I wrote to ensure transparency, passed the House. 59 Senators voted for it but Republicans used the filibuster to block it. My warning then remains true

Those pushing to continue the war in Iran & lobbying against the deal should answer a simple question: What is your alternative? There's no good way to end a bad war. If the past 4 months have taught us anything, it's that more war is not the answer.

From wage theft to union busting, the billionaires & big corporations are rigging the rules for themselves. The result? Workers get stiffed. It's shameful & un-American. That's why I'm proud to stand with @IAM_Union & every worker who's demanding that we fix this broken system.

🚨Congress finally passed a war powers resolution to stop Trump's illegal war in Iran. It has been a disaster from the start. End it now.

Trump & Netanyahu's Iran War has been a disaster from the start. The question now is not whether the deal to end this war is perfect but whether continuing the war would make things better. It would not.

Too many Americans can't afford a place to live. There's more to do, but today we took a step to address that problem, passing the ROAD to Housing Act to make it easier to build & access affordable housing — including my bills to improve access for veterans. My full

"Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents... is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use [of] the grand-jury process," — Judge Schiltz It's a sad day when a judge has to tell the President he can't weaponize the govt against political opponents.
