Recent changes to laws in Israel further emphasize the importance of ensuring U.S. taxpayer dollars do not further the well-documented mistreatment of Palestinian children and families living under Israeli military occupation.

He has completely abused the power of his office and must be removed immediately.
He has repeatedly obstructed efforts to conduct oversight, intervened in the promotions of qualified Black and woman officers, and launched us into an inhumane war with Iran in which our military has put civilians at risk—including destroying a girls’ school in Minab.
I am cosponsoring @repyassansari.bsky.social's Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth.
Congress must stand strong against these continued attempts to strip Americans of their 4th Amendment rights as the new deadline of April 30th approaches.
While the GOP tried to extend FISA for five years—House Democrats prevailed in this fight to prevent a long-term extension of this legislation that allows for warrantless spying on Americans.

We must reject any system or aggression in which Israel unilaterally exercises permanent rule over a Palestinian people denied self-determination and human rights.

I am cosponsoring @mccollum.house.gov's legislation to stop U.S. support of the seizure of Palestinian property, military detentions of Palestinian children, and further annexation of Palestinian land in violation of international law.

Dominguez passed away in 2019 at the age of just 23 after alleged medical negligence by her doctor—it’s critical that her story is heard in the halls of Congress as we push to deliver legislation that properly addresses maternal health disparities.
If you’ve stopped by my D.C. office recently, you’ll notice the portrait of Demi Dominguez outside my office in honor of Black Maternal Health Week.
Yesterday, I joined my colleagues to highlight Black Maternal Health Week and the gaps in our healthcare system that continue to leave Black moms behind.
While this Administration continues to attack healthcare access, we will stand strong and fight to ensure proper care for our communities.
I am a hard NO on FISA reauthorization.
🚨FISA VOTE TONIGHT! 🚨 While you are sleeping, Republicans plan to jam a bill through the House tonight allowing the Admin to spy and collect data for the next FIVE YEARS.
No warrants REQUIRED. No real assurances a shady AG, FBI, or DNI director will follow the law. I am a NO!
This bill is an important step to ensure that Congress is legislating prediction markets proactively and properly taking steps to protect our communities.
I look forward to continuing to fight for proper regulations surrounding these markets.
Prediction markets are ripe for fraud and insider trading.
I’m proud to cosponsor @repcasar.bsky.social and @chrismurphyct.bsky.social’s BETS OFF Act to ban prediction market trading on terrorism, deaths, war, non-financial government actions, and more.
Trump's $1.5 trillion defense budget demand is part of the same lie we have heard our whole lives: our government has money for war, but no money for social services.
I'm fighting for legislation to stop these endless wars and put money back into our communities.
Section 702 still allows for violations of the Fourth Amendment against Americans—it’s a gross overreach of power and Congress cannot continue to permit surveillance of Americans without a warrant.
I want to be clear that I will not vote for FISA reauthorization if the bill remains in its current form.
Today, I proudly voted again in favor of a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s military action against Iran.
Until this bill is passed by Congress, I will continue to fight for its passage in order to protect servicemembers and innocent lives abroad.
I was very proud to secure over $2 million for drinking water infrastructure and PFAS treatment in Orange County through the Community Project Funding process, and I look forward to continuing our work together to deliver for the community.
It was great to meet with Orange Water & Sewer Authority as we continue to work to bring federal funding to Orange County to address the needs of local residents.
As we continue to study the negative effects of data centers and crypto mining operations, I strongly support local communities’ efforts to halt the construction of these facilities and prioritize concerns about water and energy use.
This is great news. I’m glad that local leaders and Apex residents worked together to enact restrictions that the community sees fit.

Trump has continued to demonstrate that he is not fit for office, and it’s imperative that this independent commission is established and convenes immediately to assess the mental fitness of the President.
I’m proud to be a cosponsor of @raskin.house.gov's bill to establish the commission required to invoke the 25th Amendment.

I’m cosponsoring @velazquez.house.gov's War Powers Resolution to reestablish constitutional authority and stop yet another disastrous war initiated by Trump.
Trump’s ongoing military blockade is another page in America’s disastrous attempts to instigate regime change in Cuba. This Administration’s actions abroad are completely out of control and put innocent civilians at risk.
Communities of color, immigrant communities, activists, and political dissenters bear the brunt of surveillance abuses—Congress cannot allow this continued violation of the rights afforded to every American under the Constitution.
I will not vote in favor of reauthorizing FISA while Section 702 continues to permit violations of the Fourth Amendment.
This section in particular allows the government to collect, search, and purchase personal information and private communications of Americans without a warrant.
