Three ICE-related deaths in just a week. There is no reforming a system built to terrorize immigrant communities. Abolish ICE.

We have a healthcare system where Black patients are too often ignored, misdiagnosed, and denied care. Black doctors save lives. Culturally competent care saves lives. We can't afford to lose that just because conservatives are uncomfortable with diversity.

When we invest in prevention over punishment, violence goes down. Trump wants to make it easier to disrupt the federal grants that communities rely on to prevent violence and save lives. @RepLaMonica, @RepGabeAmo, & I are urging OMB to withdraw this proposal.

ICE was never about keeping us safe. Two deadly ICE shootings in less than a week. This is a devastating reminder that this agency's purpose is nothing but violence. We need accountability, justice, and to abolish ICE.

The bipartisan bill to expand housing supply and help lower costs is now law despite Trump's refusal to sign it. Housing affordability should never be used as leverage to advance attacks on our democracy. cbsnews.com/news/housing-b…

Black lives and Black futures are constantly under attack by white supremacy. For years, the government has enabled and sanctioned systemic disenfranchisement. We cannot celebrate freedom while refusing to confront the systems that deny it to so many.

Trump just dismantled the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission ahead of the midterms. This is what a failing democracy looks like: gutting independent oversight, consolidating power, and making it harder to protect every American's right to vote. propublica.org/article/federa…

Somehow there's always money to expand the Pentagon and bankroll Israel's assault on Gaza. But when it comes to healthcare, education, or helping working people, we're told there's nothing left. America's priorities are failing people here and abroad.

Coal miners sacrificed their health to power this country. They deserve benefits that reflect that sacrifice. I introduced the Support Our Miners Act to increase black lung benefits and ensure they keep up with the rising cost of living. wesanews.org/politics-gover…

We always seem to have billions for war, bombs, and endless militarization. But when it comes to healthcare, Social Security, housing, or feeding kids, suddenly we're told there's no money. That's a political choice.

Violence prevention starts with investing in our communities and the people doing the work every day. Grateful to meet with the Greater Valley Coalition for Peace & Justice to hear updates on their work and discuss how we can continue building safer neighborhoods together.

Every community deserves the resources to deliver the services people rely on every day. Proud to present Whitaker Borough with the $675,000 federal investment I secured for a new Department of Public Works facility that will protect and strengthen essential public services.

250 years in, white supremacy is alive and well. They celebrated by polluting our skies, marching in our streets, and riding the public transit they spend their time defunding. The hypocrisy would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.

It was a joy to join the Monroeville Fourth of July parade today! The story of America has always been shaped by the folks who organized, marched, voted, and died for our freedoms. As we mark this anniversary and look to another 250 years, let's recommit to finishing the work: a strong democracy that serves all of us, not just those with the most money and power. I believe we can get there. And not with symbolic flyovers and cosmetic makeovers.

Diversity is a factual description of classrooms in this country and a strength of our democracy. Everyone benefits when students are included and affirmed. Attacks on inclusive policies do nothing but undermine our collective potential.

Corporate spending in the 2026 election cycle makes up ONE-THIRD of the $1.58B spent since Citizens United. Polls consistently show nearly 4-in-5 voters want Super PAC limits. @RepSummerLee & @SenSanders' bills are a test: our democracy or your donors?

Trump and Republicans' so-called One Big Beautiful Bill is overhauling our federal student loan system. For me and millions of other borrowers, monthly payments will be increased drastically to match that of rent or a mortgage. Here's what some of those other changes look like.

There are fewer than a thousand billionaires in America. And yet, they’re using their money to control the media, corrupt politicians, and dismantle our society so they can hoard even more wealth. Working-class solidarity is our best defense. @RepSummerLee

$517 million in corporate money and it's only July. This is exactly what happens when billionaires and corporations are allowed to bankroll our elections. The people should decide our future, not whoever can write the biggest check.

Private equity is driving up costs and putting youth sports out of reach for too many families. When corporate and special interests are prioritized, people suffer. We need real anti-trust enforcement so our livelihoods are no longer controlled by profit-driven monopolies.
