Yet another reminder that Trump's DOJ continues to block the release of the Epstein files. reuters.com/legal/governme…

The court's opinion allowing Trump's DOJ to overturn the successful prosecutions of some of the most violent and dangerous conspirators who attacked the US Capitol on January 6 demonstrates precisely why Congress needs to pass my bill. The No Free Passes for Cronies Act aims to prevent the politically motivated dismissal of criminal charges. Specifically, the legislation seeks to amend Rule 48(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to require courts to weigh the "interests of justice" before allowing the government to drop cases.

We had a great visit to the Norristown Farm Park run by the Philadelphia Horticultural Society. At a time when so many in our community are struggling to afford basic groceries, PHS is making an outsized impact in Norristown, producing over 10 tons of fruits and vegetables for local food banks, running community gardening, nutrition, workforce development, and food as medicine programs. PHS is demonstrating every day the power of investments in our communities that yield benefits to mental and physical health, community safety, and economic opportunity.

Last week, we marked the 158th anniversary of the ratification of the 14th Amendment, which established that all persons (not just citizens) are entitled to federal protection of their rights to due process and equal protection of the law. The Fourteenth Amendment also overturned the notorious Dred Scott decision and affirmed the right of birthright citizenship. On this anniversary, we reflect on our obligation under the Constitution to strive continually for a more perfect union that protects and guarantees those rights for all, and not just those who are rich or powerful. For if we fail to stand up for the rights of those who are different or have been marginalized, then we fail to stand up for ourselves and our most basic American values.

When private equity treats hospitals and nursing homes as cash cows, patient care suffers and hospitals and nursing homes close. My bill, the Take Back Our Hospitals Act, will ensure that hospitals and nursing homes serve patients, not Wall Street investors.

Last week, to kick off the Fourth of July weekend, I attended a ceremonial session of Congress in Philadelphia. This event celebrated the 250 years of our great nation and the progress we have made.

Americans’ most private and sensitive information should be secure - not used for corporate profit. To ensure that, I’m introducing the Health and Location Data Protection Act, a bill designed to protect consumers’ information by stopping data brokers from selling or sharing location and health data and ensuring that the Federal Trade Commission enforces the law. We must set clear rules and standards to protect Americans’ privacy and to stop companies from profiting off your personal information.

Critical programs dismantled, thousands of jobs lost, countless lives ruined and everyone worse off. And the debt is now higher than ever. DOGE was a failure of leadership to the highest degree.

Happy Fourth, PA-05!

More than 200 people attended a morning flag-raising at the Betsy Ross House in Old City on Thursday, with, of course, Betsy Ross herself. Children helped her hoist the flag up the pole as the crowd cheered. #America250

Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain. We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.

One year ago today, the House voted to pass the Big Ugly Bill. Since then, things have only gotten worse for hardworking Americans.

It's been one year since House Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill. Here are some of the devastating consequences.

The message from my constituents is clear: lower costs, strengthen social security, and make our government work better for the people.

The problem with trickle-down economics is that it has NEVER worked.  It’s way past time for corporations and investors to PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!

"In nearly every state and territory across the country, the official humanities nonprofits created by a congressional mandate to help make history and literature accessible to all Americans had to give up their anniversary planning when DOGE pulled their federal funding." notus.org/agencies/doge-…

Republican attacks on sanctuary city policies are complete fiction.

One week ago, Donald Trump didn’t show up to his own signing ceremony. We still don’t know if he’s going to sign a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs.

This is corruption at a scale we have NEVER seen from a President of the United States. Treating it as normal is exactly how he gets away with it. While he made huge sums of money off his memecoin, the ordinary people who bought in were wiped out, losing more than 95% of their investment. Donald Trump didn’t seek the presidency to serve the American people. He sought it to profit off of them. wsj.com/politics/polic…

An emphatic answer from Rep Becca Balint (D-VT) when @PabloReports asked her thoughts on House GOP leadership abruptly cancelling remainder of another week of votes
