Eid al-Adha Mubarak! As we gather with community, may this sacred day remind us of the values of sacrifice and service to others. I am wishing you many blessings as we celebrate today.

On this Memorial Day, we honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives for our nation. Their sacrifice will always be remembered, and their legacy will endure forever.

Every child deserves a Head Start. This week, Head Start celebrates 61 years of providing early learning services to kids—including me. I introduced bills to strengthen Head Start and protect it for generations of families.

HAPPENING NOW: I'm at a @transportdems.bsky.social markup to build on the historic progress we made with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. I'm offering 3 amendments to prevent biased profiling on the roads and to support our rail system—a key industry in my home state.

Today, I shared in a moment of silence on the House floor to honor Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nadir Awad, who were tragically killed earlier this week in San Diego.   Amin, Mansour, and Nadir acted with extraordinary courage to protect others and prevent even greater loss of life.

A house of worship should be a place of peace, prayer, and safety. The attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego has shaken Muslim communities across the country. At a time meant for faith and togetherness, families instead experienced terror and unimaginable pain.

Inflation rose 3.8% in April — an increase from March.  Inflation is out of control and it's a direct result of Trump's Iran war and tariffs.

When Americans answer the call to serve, we have a responsibility to support them when they return home. That’s why I introduced amendments to strengthen VA medical research, protect food security programs for veterans, and require bias reviews for AI systems used by the VA & Department of Defense.

MAGA Republicans want you to pay for a $1 billion ballroom while families are still struggling with the rising cost of gas and groceries. Working families deserve better, and I'll keep pushing back to find relief and lower costs.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and mother figures whose love and sacrifice hold our families and communities together. Today, we honor the care and unwavering support you give every day.

States are already redrawing their maps after the court gave a green light to racial discrimination and electoral exclusion. This is unacceptable.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the educators who shape the next generation of leaders. I'm proud to colead a bill that expands student loan forgiveness to Fulbright teachers so more educators can serve without the burden of student loan debt.

Hoosiers have made their voices heard. I am deeply honored, and I never want to take their votes for granted. This was made possible by prayer, a coalition of voters, volunteers, activists, and faith leaders who believe in building a stronger future for our communities. Thank you very much!

It’s Election Day here in Indiana. Make a plan to vote today and be sure your voice is heard. You can find your voting location and check your registration status at vote.indy.gov.

The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a majority minority district takes us back. It’s a step back, but we have a path forward: Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

We just passed a bipartisan bill to fund DHS and end the longest government shutdown — without funding ICE. House Democrats did not back down, and now critical services can continue without giving an additional dime to ICE.

The Supreme Court ’s Louisiana decision is a blow to the Voting Rights Act. Civil rights warriors like my mentor, John Lewis, fought for this landmark bill to ensure voters are equally represented in every election. Today took us backwards.

Food deserts. SNAP privatization. Cuts to Summer EBT that keep kids fed when school is out. Indiana families deserve better and no child should go hungry because of Republican policies. That’s why I’ve offered THREE amendments to the Farm Bill to say DO BETTER.

BILL ALERT: I’m co-leading the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act. Data centers are often shrouded in mystery, with plans moving forward before meaningful public input.

The Trump Administration has cut critical environmental and public health protections, putting communities at risk. I am working to protect clean air and water, lowering energy costs, and investing in a healthier future for our community.

This is exactly why we need to fund medical research. I lead efforts every year to increase funding to the National Institutes of Health, and in particular pancreatic cancer research, which hurts Black Americans at higher rates. Medical research saves lives. www.nbcnews.com/health/cance...

Families are already dealing with the high cost of living. Budget cuts would leave children and mothers without essentials they need to stay healthy. This is wrong and why I voted to rein in the president’s powers and end this senseless war.

Data centers should never pass along costs to ordinary American families. Corporations should pay their own energy bills – period.

The stakes of AI – especially with China – could not be higher. If Chinese AI models win, we face a future of censorship and surveillance, and fall behind on sectors like manufacturing that drive Indiana’s economy.

Hoosiers deserve relief from high energy bills.   That’s why I’m fighting to pass the Energy Bills Relief Act to lower your bill long-term and provide short term relief with the LIHEAP Staffing Support Act.   Read more: indianapolisrecorder.com/opinion-stan...

Yesterday, the House passed the ALERT Act with overwhelming bipartisan support. This bill strengthens coordination between civilian and military aircraft, modernizes collision prevention technology, and improves aviation safety.

Holocaust Remembrance Day is about remembering the past so we can apply those lessons to our present and future. We have a chance to stand up to injustice every day — in honor of the more than 6 million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust.

I stand with survivors of domestic violence, abuse of power, and sexual assault.    I’m deeply disturbed by allegations made against 3 of my Congressional colleagues: Rep. Cory Mills, Rep. Tony Gonzales, and Rep. Eric Swalwell.

ICE detainment at Miami Correctional in Bunker Hill, IN must end. Today, I visited the facility and met with 2 ICE detainees. Our criminal justice system is broken—from the disproportionate number of Black Americans in prison to ICE detaining tens of thousands of people without criminal records.

A genocidal threat from a U.S. president is beyond dangerous. Escalating strikes while threatening to wipe out an entire civilization puts innocent Iranian civilians and Americans at risk. These are intentional war crimes. We need to invoke the 25th Amendment now to stop these violations.

I was proud to visit the Damien Center to highlight $850,000 I secured to support housing, healthcare, and HIV prevention services for Indianapolis residents. I will keep fighting to bring resources back home and invest in programs that strengthen our community.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in time for the Indiana primary election. You can check your registration status at indianavoters.com.

Happy Easter! I wish everyone celebrating a day of joy and renewal.

Today, many reflect on sacrifice, love, and hope. Wishing all who observe a meaningful Good Friday.

Wishing all who are celebrating a meaningful Passover. May this season of reflection remind us of the call to pursue justice and liberation for all people. Chag Pesach Sameach

Today, Martindale Brightwood residents can make their voices heard on the impact of a new data center. This public hearing is a chance for Indianapolis to speak up and speak out—neighbors, activists, labor leaders, and community stakeholders.

I am proud to earn a 100% score from the @lcv.org. At a time when the Trump administration is making major cuts to environmental protections, I will continue fighting for cleaner air and water and investing in clean energy.

Women make less than men for doing the same work — and the gap gets even wider for women of color. I'm working to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to prevent discrimination, protect women, and make our economy better for everyone.

Democrats have put forth a solution to fully fund TSA — without giving ICE more money to attack our communities.  Republicans refuse to accept it.  We can and should make sure TSA workers are paid while still holding ICE accountable.

I just submitted an amendment to stop ICE from hiding behind masks and face coverings. We need transparency. We need ICE out of our airports and out of our homes. Republicans need to work with Democrats to fund DHS the right way.

Each year, I bring home funding for a variety of projects that make our neighborhoods stronger. Here’s a look at what’s coming.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid Al-Fitr. After a month of fasting and reflection during Ramadan, today is a time to celebrate gratitude and compassion. Wishing a blessed Eid to all who celebrate.

At least 13 US service members have already died in Iran—including Captain Seth Koval, a husband and dad from Indiana. I pressed Trump administration officials to justify this war. When the lives of our brave service members are at risk, the American people deserve answers.

NEW: I'm signing a discharge petition to fast track a vote to fully fund TSA — without giving a blank check to ICE.  Fund essential workers. Don't fund the murder and abuse of innocent families.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Hoosiers! Today we honor the rich heritage that has shaped Indianapolis and this nation. May this day be filled with fellowship and good luck.

I join Hoosiers across the state in mourning the loss of Capt. Seth R. Koval, an American hero who served our nation with honor. My prayers are with his family, community and all who served beside him. We will never forget his sacrifice and bravery to our country.

President Trump is dragging us into another endless war without congressional approval. I voted against this war because Americans should not have to suffer higher costs or decisions that puts lives at risk.

None of these isms and phobias have a place in our society.

I’m proud to host my annual Youth Opportunities Fair to provide students the opportunity to enter the workforce. Investing in young people allows for stronger communities, a stronger workforce, and a bright future for Indianapolis.

My annual Youth Opportunities Fair with Ivy Tech was a success! We helped close to 200 young people find jobs, internships, and other opportunities ahead of the summer months.
