Had a great experience touring Community LIFE and seeing how their team helps seniors age with dignity, maintain independence, and remain in their homes. It was a great reminder of why protecting and expanding Medicare is so important for our communities.

@RepSummerLee & @SenMarkey are demanding answers from 5 corporations on their use of stay-or-pay contracts like TRAPs to charge workers $ for leaving their jobs. Employers are required to pay employees for their work. Not the other way around.🤝

Our democracy should belong to the people, not the highest bidder. As long as billionaires and corporate interests can spend unlimited money to influence our elections, working people will be forced to compete with wealth and power. It's time to abolish Super PACs.

Today marks the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, a decision that affirmed what never should've been questioned: love is love and every couple deserves the freedom to marry. We celebrate this progress and recommit to protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people everywhere.

Public safety isn't built through fearmongering or expanding surveillance. It's built by investing in housing, health care, violence prevention, and community-led solutions. Grateful to partner with @verainstitute for their Serious About Safety Campaign to make that a reality.

You shouldn't be in debt to your employer for leaving a job. @SenMarkey and I are demanding answers from companies about their use of coercive stay-or-pay contracts that saddle workers with debt and restrict their freedom to leave. These anti-worker practices must end.

This extremist Supreme Court just gave Trump the green light to block asylum seekers at the border and end TPS protections for Haitians & Syrians. People fleeing danger deserve compassion, not cruelty. We must reform and expand the Court immediately.

It was an honor to welcome & introduce International @steelworkers President Roxanne Brown on Capitol Hill. As the first woman and first person of color to lead USW, President Brown is standing up for workers & strengthening our labor movement. I'm proud to join her in that

Four years since Dobbs, we're reminded of the need to reform our Courts. Today, women have fewer reproductive rights than a decade ago. Black women are still at greater risk of dying in pregnancy and childbirth. We cannot ignore that this rollback is costing lives.

Your president really said you get either your right to housing or your right to vote, pick one.

JUST IN: President Trump abruptly cancels his plans to sign a major, bipartisan housing bill, saying he will not do so until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, a sweeping elections bill that has become a focal point of his second term. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

Voting rights are once again under attack and we must do everything in our power to fight back. Proud to reintroduce the Right to Vote Act with @RepJoeNeguse and @SenOssoff to establish the first-ever federal statutory right to strengthen protections for every voter.

Thank you @MWCDC_Pgh for hosting a community town hall and inviting me to connect with our neighbors. I’m grateful to everyone who came out, raised concerns, and shared what they want to see from their government—from healthcare, to Social Security, to affordability.

There is no shame in getting the resources you need. The shame is that our government is cutting programs like SNAP and making it harder for families to afford food and basic necessities. Stop judging people for seeking help. Hold elected officials accountable for failing them.
