Last week, I joined Colleen Marshall on Sunday Briefing, to talk about why I voted against the Republican betrayal bill, and why Democrats are demanding action on health care now. The affordable health care of millions of Americans is still at stake. But House Democrats will continue the fight.

After a historic Republican delay, I am proud to celebrate Congresswoman Grijalva’s swearing-in as the newest Member of Congress and the 97th woman in the Democratic Caucus. Her passion for Arizona’s 7th District already shines—thrilled to welcome her to the House, where she belongs.

Health care is under attack, again. This Republican bill betrays working Americans and their families. Democrats are standing firm against it to stop the cuts, lower costs, and protect care for everyone who depends on it. I'm voting NO.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who served our nation—those who came home and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Your courage and service protect the freedoms we cherish. Thank you to all who have worn the uniform and to the loved ones who share them with us.

As Veterans Day approaches, the Trump Administration has continued efforts to diminish the contributions of Black veterans and weaken equity efforts at the VA. I’ve introduced two resolutions to honor their service, close racial gaps, and preserve their legacy: https://bit.ly/488b5by

Last Friday, President Trump said it would be his “honor” to fund food assistance. We’ve seen what a difference a week makes. Today, I joined @repjahanahayes.bsky.social to introduce the Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act, to fully fund benefits for millions of Americans. 🔗Read more here: bit.ly/3JoEG7j

Under the Trump administration and Republicans, the cost of groceries has only INCREASED, hurting Americans at the dinner table. And their delay in funding SNAP, only makes things worse. In the season of giving, why is the 'pro-family' party, stealing from American families?

@pelosi.house.gov didn’t just make history, she changed it. Her courage, brilliance, and leadership shaped the House and our nation. Please read my full statement on her decision not to seek reelection here: bit.ly/3WIHwH6

Times are tough, and the Trump Administration has chosen not to fund November SNAP benefits. Ohioans shouldn’t go hungry in the richest country in the world. Columbus and Franklin County residents can find help here ⤵️ 🔗CITY Resources: https://bit.ly/4oKIKO0 🔗COUNTY Resources: bit.ly/CTYHELP

Thanks to Republicans, Head Start — a CRITICAL lifeline for children and families throughout Ohio — has lost vital funding throughout the shutdown. Here's the hard truth of how it's affecting Franklin County. It's time Republicans put American families FIRST and reopen the government.

Thanks to Republicans, health insurance premiums in the Affordable Care Act marketplace are rising across the country. Ohioans, check out the link here to see how much your premiums have increased: https://bit.ly/4887D1b

Honoring the life and legacy of Les Wright, the first Black woman to serve on Columbus City Council. Her courage and leadership opened doors for generations of women and Black leaders, including myself. So grateful for the path she blazed. May she rest in power.

Federal courts have made it clear: Americans deserve their full SNAP benefits. The Trump Administration must release all funds and end the govt. shutdown he's leading —because we all know nothing moves in the Republican Congress without Trump. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4nzHXys

The Trump admin is weaponizing hunger by blocking funds for SNAP. Federal courts have ordered Trump to pay Americans their SNAP benefits — it's time for him to follow the law, and give Ohioans the benefits they need. To families struggling, please reach out to your local food bank for support.

The Trump Administration has the power to protect SNAP—but refuses to act. As Thanksgiving nears, over 40 million Americans risk going hungry. I joined 213 of my Democratic colleagues in calling on Agriculture Secretary Rollins to release the resources families need now.

Tomorrow, funding for Head Start and SNAP will lapse in Ohio - critical lifelines that strengthen children, families, and entire communities. All because Republicans have failed to act. I'm working to get Ohioans the benefits they need. 🔗Read more here: https://bit.ly/48SROvH

The scariest thing this Halloween isn’t ghosts—it’s Trump’s economy. Candy and other costs keep climbing, and families are paying the price. Trick or treat? Under Trump, it’s just the trick. 🍫👻

Standing outside the USDA with Shutdown Straight Talk. Republicans are holding 42M Americans—including 1.4M in Ohio—hostage by refusing to fund SNAP benefits during their government shutdown. Release the $5B and protect SNAP!

1.4 million Ohioans rely on SNAP - that's not a game. But Republicans think it is. The message is clear and simple. To Secretary Rollins and Republicans: release the SNAP funds, now.

It was a pleasure to speak at Robinhood's Financial Education Opening Event, to talk about the importance of financial literacy for student athletes and next-gen leaders. As Co-chair of the Financial Literacy Caucus, I will always support initiatives that empower young people with tools for success.

Democrats are using every tool in our wheelhouse to reach young people about the Republican health care coverage crisis — because when health care is involved, EVERYONE is affected. Miss the town hall? 🔗Check out the link here to watch the full thing: http://bit.ly/4nd2FE1

Republicans' lack of action is hurting our public servants and federal employees — that's countless American families that are affected. Democrats will continue to uphold the rule of law, honor our public servants, and advocate for affordable care and benefits.

Yesterday, it was confirmed what we always knew —Trump does not prioritize the concerns of the American people and thinks the People’s House is his. Press play to hear my thoughts and the link for the reporting: https://n.pr/4qIXwqz
