Our farmers face a series of new challenges with the climate crisis and rising costs, in an industry that already operates on tight margins. Until Republicans stop playing partisan games and work with Democrats to develop a bill that gives our farmers the resources and opportunities they asked for, I will continue to stand against House Republicans’ misplaced priorities.

This bill also undermines public health by cutting funding for conservation and protecting the devastating $187 billion in cuts to SNAP and other nutrition programs made in the Big Ugly Law — condemning families and children to go hungry.

Yet as President Trump’s war with Iran spikes energy costs, Republicans have focused on stripping investment from renewable energy sources that could help us combat this crisis. Today’s Energy Subcommittee hearing focused on meeting exploding demand affordably is a day late and a dollar short. We can and must do more.

The vast majority of Americans across the political spectrum do not want FISA to be reauthorized in its current state. I oppose authorization without reforms to protect privacy rights and civil liberties from an Administration that seeks to weaponize these tools to target its political enemies.

The language of the Fourth Amendment clearly protects the people from unreasonable searches and seizures. Instead of upholding our constitutional rights, Speaker Johnson chose to bend the knee to the Trump Administration’s goals of conducting widespread, unchecked surveillance of the public.
