I’m voting no to the short-term DHS funding bill this week. ICE has lost all public trust with their brutal, deadly crackdown on our communities. They should be abolished for good, let alone given another dime of taxpayer money.

With tax season approaching, I want to make sure you have the resources and guidance you need to file your returns. That's why my office is hosting a webinar joined by representatives from the United Way's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to give you tips and updates for this tax filing season.

Kristi Noem is making all of us less safe and has completely lost public trust. I've signed onto articles of impeachment to hold her accountable for her actions.

Last night, the House voted to restore vital Affordable Care Act benefits and help drive down healthcare costs for millions. The Senate must now act to pass this bill and ease the burden of rising costs being felt by so many Americans, including one of my constituents from NY-20, Mekhiya.

Instead of protecting healthcare and extending Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire, the House is voting today on yet another anti-LGBTQ+ bill that denies trans youth the care they need. I stand with our trans community in rejecting this cruel bill.

Republicans have spent the last decade and a half working to defund and repeal affordable health care, yet in all that time, they’ve never had a solution to replace these programs with something better. That needs to end. The American people deserve action to bring down costs now.

Today, November 19, 2025, my bill, H.R. 1355, the Weatherization Enhancement and Readiness Act was passed out of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy. This bipartisan bill invests in home weatherization efforts to save low-income families hundreds of dollars on their energy bills while making homes safer, healthier, and more energy efficient. I’ll continue pushing to enact this bill and make certain that weatherization works for all in our communities.

Republicans couldn't be bothered to restore vital health care benefits for working families in their rotten budget, but they did sneak in a provision that would give millions in taxpayer dollars to a handful of GOP senators. This is corruption, plain and simple.

We’re entering week 5 of a government shutdown, and Trump’s priorities have been everywhere EXCEPT with American families.

A tiny handful of staff are left at the Department of Education's Office of Special Education after Trump fired hundreds of workers—a skeleton crew responsible for $15 billion in funding left to support 7.5 million kids and their families. When we cut education, we deprive an entire generation from the opportunities they deserve. This cannot stand.

Funding for the federal government has expired. My Democratic colleagues and I spent these past days and weeks working to keep critical services up and running for families and fighting to ensure healthcare benefits for millions of Americans are not eliminated. Sadly, Republicans continued to push a partisan spending bill that exacerbates rising costs for average Americans, takes health care away from individuals and families, and raises premiums for tens of millions. In the midst of this GOP sh...

Republicans have control of the House, Senate, and presidency. They have the power to pass a budget that avoids a shutdown and prioritizes the health and wellbeing of working families. Instead they're missing in action. I'm here in DC to keep up the fight to protect the healthcare benefits Americans need.

Join my office for an informational webinar for those seeking resources and information to help you and your loved ones when interacting with ICE.

Stripping away specialized crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth, like the 988 crisis lifeline, is an act of utter cruelty. This was a lifeline for nearly 1.3 million young people, many of whom had nowhere else to turn. We should be expanding these resources, not dismantling them.
