Consumers should be able to control their personal data and know where it's going. Congress must work to protect consumer information, implementing policies like those in Washington state that protect sensitive health data for patients.

Yesterday, I joined my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass a bipartisan War Powers Resolution. Our vote is a critical step in reining in Trump’s illegal war in Iran, bringing our brave troops home, and focusing on the pressing issues facing families in the Eighth District.

House passes war powers resolution directing Trump to end hostilities with Iran
The vote marked a rare bipartisan rebuke of the war, but is mostly symbolic. Democrats have been unable to pass a war powers resolution in the Senate, and even if they could it would likely be vetoed.

This is further proof that the Trump Administration is actively putting children in danger as the president backs RFK Jr.’s dangerous overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule. Vaccine recommendations should be made by medical experts – not by conspiracy theorists.
