If you’re born in the United States, you’re a citizen. Period. The Trump administration is going after the legal status of anyone they don’t deem worthy to live in this country, and the Supreme Court should’ve never entertained it for this long.

We can’t continue to let billionaire donors spend limitless money in our elections and keep calling it democracy. Everyone agrees our system is broken in America, and today the Supreme Court made it a whole lot worse.

The Trump administration has gone out of its way to make life even harder for a couple of kids in Kentucky who already have it hard enough. Meanwhile, 15,000 Kentuckians have already lost Medicaid this year because of how much costs have gone up. (1/2)

Our democracy is strongest when every eligible vote is counted, no matter how they're cast. Trump is hell-bent on making it harder to vote, but today SCOTUS ruled against his efforts to undermine fair elections — a win for every American's right to have their voice heard. bit.ly/4eUnyln

The Congressional App Challenge is open to all Louisville middle and high schoolers regardless of coding experience—it's a great way to develop STEM skills and make a difference in our community! Visit my website to learn more and apply by October 26: bit.ly/3rf8av6

Too many deafblind students aren’t getting the support they need to get the same education as their peers. This DeafBlind Awareness Week, I'm working to change that. My bill would close that gap for deaf, blind, and deafblind students. bit.ly/4eoOWrq

This has never been about legal status.  The Trump admin is going after immigrants with legal status to deport them and apparently Supreme Court is going to let them do it. If you still think this isn’t racist, look no further than what the president has said about the Haitian community.

Yesterday, Trump blocked a bill to build more affordable housing. Apparently housing in this country is "of minor importance” but his DC vanity projects are a top priority. Here’s how much they’re costing us… bit.ly/4eMhwTW

Miscarriage is incredibly common, and for many of our neighbors it's the worst situation imaginable. No one should have to face the threat of arrest on top of that pain. As we mark 4 years without Roe, I'm leading an effort to end pregnancy criminalization.

In the 4 years since the Dobbs decision, Kentuckians have suffered under one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country. The consequences have been devastating. Congress must restore the right to safe, legal abortion.

$500/month goes a long way toward staying on top of rent and keeping up with the cost of groceries and gas — especially when you're starting out. My Young Adult Tax credit is the starting block young Americans deserve to have a fair shot at success. bit.ly/4vMA1OW

WE'RE HIRING! The Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program is an incredible opportunity to support and learn from our veterans, and we're honored to participate. Interested veterans, active-duty spouses, & Gold Star Families can find info on my website: bit.ly/42NBia5

Happy Father’s Day to all the Louisville dads and father figures! Being a dad is one of the greatest joys of my life — and truly never boring with these kids 😂

Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in our history. It's a celebration of freedom and a recognition of those who fought — and continue to fight — for true equality. We must continue to stand together in that fight, especially as the right to fair representation is under attack.

Thanks to JenCare for hosting us at their second annual Juneteenth celebration. Freedom has never come without a struggle and we must do everything in our power to build a country where justice, dignity, and opportunity are realized for all.

Remember when Trump said his ballroom would be 100% privately funded? He lied and spent over $300 million of our tax dollars on it. And Republicans want to give him $1 billion more. bit.ly/4aCf6Wx

Fourteen years ago, America invested in the potential of Dreamers. Since then, DACA recipients have built careers, raised families, paid taxes, and are integral members of our communities. After 14 years of success, Dreamers deserve permanent protections—not uncertainty.

Part of the reason I got into politics was the experience we went through with our kids in the hospital. We can always do more when it comes to pediatric care, and I'm so inspired by Nolan's bravery to speak up and advocate for change — at 6 years old! bit.ly/4fAOk4g

Always great to have my family out in DC for the Congressional Baseball Game for charity (and very honored to be the Dem MVP!) Sadly no W for the Dems this year, but I think next year might be our year 👀

Too many communities have been forever changed by gun violence — including Louisville. During Gun Violence Awareness Month, we wear orange to honor the friends, loved ones, and neighbors we've lost to gun violence. We can and must do more to prevent these tragedies.

If Republicans want to look at waste, fraud, and abuse, let's start with Trump's billion dollar ballroom.

Trump thinks our tax dollars should serve him and only him. My amendments would have blocked funding for his special interest projects and put that money toward what our communities actually need.

There's so much good we could do with $70 billion. Just about anything would be better than giving it to ICE.

Republicans want another $70 billion for ICE — if we put that funding toward housing, we could get a roof over every veteran's head and probably end homelessness altogether. That's what my amendment would do.

This weekend, I joined our community for a Walk to Prevent Gun Violence. We wear orange to honor those we've lost to gun violence and as a symbol of our commitment to doing the work to end this epidemic once and for all.

Former State Sen. Dennis Parrett was a wonderful person who served our commonwealth for 12 years as a dedicated advocate for Hardin County — especially our students and children. He always did what he felt was right, had a great sense of humor, and never had a bad word for anyone. (1/2)

My office has seen the devastating impacts this policy has had on my constituents since it started. People have lost jobs, healthcare, and been put in unnecessary limbo. Today a judge ruled what we have all known from the start — this pause was illegal and arbitrary.

Today, on what would have been Breonna Taylor's 33rd birthday, my heart is with her family and loved ones. Breonna was caring, ambitious, and funny — she brought people together, she took care of her community, and she touched so many lives. She should be alive to celebrate this birthday.

Today marks 10 years since Muhammad Ali passed — an icon, a champion, and a man whose competitive ferocity was matched only by his capacity for human compassion. His legacy both in and out of the ring live on for generations.

A true honor to join Honor Flight Bluegrass at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial this morning. Showing up for our veterans is one of the most important things we can do, and we'll never forget what these Kentuckians sacrificed when they answered the call to serve our nation.

Rent, groceries, tuition, and gas add up — especially when you're just getting started. My Young Adult Tax Credit builds on the success we saw right here at home in Louisville to give young adults across the country a fair shot at success.

Happy Pride Month! Louisville wouldn't be Louisville without our LGBTQ+ neighbors and loved ones who make our city better in countless ways. During Pride Month and every month, we must continue to show up and fight for the equality and safety the LGBTQ+ community deserves.

Kentucky families haven’t stopped needing healthcare. Trump and Republicans just made it more expensive, so now fewer people can afford it. More sick people won’t see a doctor when they need to, and the rest of us will keep paying thousands for insurance. bit.ly/49xBDn4

Today, the court upheld what Republicans in Congress refuse to. Trump cannot use our tax dollars as a slush fund for his allies. We will keep fighting this. bit.ly/4o2Ga76

We will never stop fighting for the justice Breonna Taylor and her family deserve. And we'll never stop fighting to make sure that what happened to Breonna never happens again. It was amazing to see so many out for Breeway Day — thank you to Bianca Austin and everyone else who made this possible.

Trump promised peace and started a war instead. He doesn't care about the lives lost, the billions of dollars wasted, or the fact that gas is over $4.50/gal. Nobody wants this war — if only 3 Republicans would stand up to Trump, we could end it. bit.ly/4wTiqGd

Trump sued and settled with himself to get a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded handout for his allies. While the rest of the country can't afford gas, groceries, and rent.

The Trump administration makes it clear once again that they don't care about immigrating the "right way". This reckless policy will punish Louisville families and workers who have spent years navigating the process while building lives here. It's cruel. It's immoral. It's illegal.

This year, seniors are graduating into an economy where rent, groceries, gas, and tuition keep climbing, but wages aren't keeping up. $500/month could go a long way. And that's what my Young Adult Tax Credit does — it invests in young people early to give them a fair shot.

Wishing a joyous and blessed Eid al-Adha to all those observing today in Louisville and across the country. Eid Mubarak!

The court confirmed what we know — they're intentionally doing this to dilute Black voting power. The right to fair representation is under attack, and we will keep fighting back against Jim Crow 2.0 at every level. bit.ly/3Q4t8cv

They're tearing families and young kids apart without a second thought. And they're taking no responsibility for the chaos, pain, and heartbreak they leave behind. This cannot be reformed. Not one more dollar for ICE. bit.ly/4f5pJnW

A lifelong civil rights advocate, Sen. Neal reminds us that democracy does not happen on its own and that progress is never linear or guaranteed. Both take hard work and people willing to fight for what's right. We cannot abandon that fight. bit.ly/4tTlhfz

Happy last day of school to all JCPS students, families, teachers, and staff! (and congrats to all of our graduates!)

Trump sued himself, settled with himself, and got $1.8 billion of taxpayer money in a slush fund for his allies. Corrupt to the core. bit.ly/4nD9qAQ

The American dream of owning a home is slipping out of reach. Right now, most Americans can't afford a $250,000 home, and the Trump administration is making it even harder.
