Great news that my constituent Jose Flores was released from ICE custody today and will soon be home with his family in Oakmont. Still: my questions about his arrest remain—our community needs answers.

No more forever wars. And no more pinching pennies on caring for my fellow veterans when they come home.

Stinks like swampy corruption.

The President of the United States has already called for my arrest and hanging, and has sent the Justice Department after me and other members of Congress for stating the law. [1/2]

Let's #EndCitizensUnited and stop corrupt corporate power from swallowing up our government and the American Dream.

I sent out a survey to constituents in Western PA asking if they think the Department of Homeland Security should be held accountable for its actions. As of last night, the response from more than 1,000 people was a 98% YES. Share your opinion here: iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/E...

We still need more guardrails around this out-of-control agency that's been eroding American freedoms, making us less safe, and undermining local cops.

I'm demanding answers to basic questions about the arrest and detention of Oakmont resident Jose Flores in front of his 8-year old daughter and other ICE activities in our area last month. [1/3]

Release the Epstein Files—all of them. The American People need the full truth.

Glad to see this update in The Wilkinsburg Sun. I was proud to secure $1.6 million in federal funds to help build new housing units and deliver a jolt to Wilkinsburg’s economy.

Tomorrow marks three years since the derailment, yet Congressional GOP keeps blocking rail safety. [1/2]

People no matter their politics see it clear as day: Republican politicians are too weak and scared to ever push back on Donald Trump and his Administration. Grow a spine, stand up for the American People, and put some guardrails around this administration's abuses and excesses.

Today, we begin the celebration of Black History Month to remember and honor the lasting contributions of Black Americans to this great country of ours. Happy Black History Month!

The first Social Security check was issued on this day in 1940. It’s since become not just a lifeline for seniors, but also a symbol of our commitment to a basic idea: after a lifetime of hard work, people should be able to retire with dignity. [1/2]

Thank you to @governor.pa.gov for putting together this guidance to help all Pennsylvanians know our rights: www.pa.gov/know-your-ri...

We will get justice. Release all the files now.

It's simple: If you’re going to send American troops into harm's way, then you better fully fund the VA to be there when they come home. That's what it means to pay the full cost of war. And that's what my bill with @reptedlieu.bsky.social would require.

I voted against sending more money to DHS until real reforms and guardrails are put in place to protect American lives and liberties. I'm urging Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senators to do the same.

Want to lower costs? Beef up antitrust enforcement to break the corporate monopoly power that is jacking up costs for all of us. Proud to be a Monopoly Busters Caucus Co-Chair alongside @jayapal.house.gov.

Republican politicians have full control of Washington and prices are still up. This is a failure. I'm focused on driving down costs (groceries, utilities, housing, childcare, healthcare, you name it!) and putting muscle back into the American Dream.

I led a letter with the PA US House Democratic delegation calling on Pennsylvania’s two Senators to vote NO on the DHS funding bill. The legislation lacks the reforms and guardrails we need to protect American lives and liberties.

A new report details what we've all been seeing: the Trump VA's cuts are hurting my fellow veterans' hard-earned care. I won't stop fighting back against these efforts to gut and privatize the VA.

Federal agents killed Alex Pretti—an ICU nurse at a VA hospital—as part of operations that have increasingly cost American lives and liberties. [1/3]

I'm proud to have an A+ scorecard from @endcitizensunited.bsky.social in the fight to crush corruption in Washington 💪

Home ownership is at the heart of the American Dream. But Wall Street landlords are buying up houses, driving up costs, and pricing so many out of the market. [1/2]

The Department of Homeland Security's actions are eroding the civil liberties that America is all about. It's dangerous.

We came within an inch of Congress finally asserting its Constitutional powers over the Exec. Branch, with a Venezuela war powers resolution barely failing by a 215-215 vote tie this week after a rigorous floor debate. We need more Members of Congress to grow a spine & stand up for our Constitution

Thanks for having me on, Andy!

ICE agents are eroding law and order and public safety and undermining local law enforcement. They have killed Americans on American streets, masking their faces and eroding American liberties—all as directed by the Trump Administration. End this chaos now.

I’m a veteran of the Iraq War. My generation of veterans knows the toll of forever wars—and how chicken hawk politicians who send Americans to fight so often later refuse to pay for veterans’ care and benefits. [1/2]

My statement on why I just voted "No" on the Department of Homeland Security spending bill ⤵️

Today in 1973, the Supreme Court established the right to an abortion in Roe v. Wade. Yet the current Supreme Court and its right-wing majority ripped away that freedom from so many women. I won't stop fighting for every American to have the freedom to make their own pregnancy decisions.

Glad to see the Administration reverse course here. House colleagues and I sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy demanding reversal of these cuts that would hurt people battling addiction and mental health struggles.

Our Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not suggestions—this is an affront to American liberty.

People can see clearly that corporate power is corrupting and starving the American Dream.  www.axios.com/2026/01/15/t...

Repeal Citizens United. Get money out of politics. Stop the corruption.

The Washington Republican healthcare attacks will kick tens of thousands of Western Pennsylvanians off of their healthcare, jack up healthcare costs, and close hospitals—especially in rural areas. [1/2]

16 years ago, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates to unlimited spending and dark money in elections, corrupting our government into a swampy mess that too often serves the interests of the richest corporations and people in human history.

Trump said that when he became President, he would "end inflation." He didn't and it’s not a priority of his. A new report from the Joint Economic Committee Democratic Office finds that American families’ costs went up by an average of $1,625 due to inflation during year one of Trump’s presidency.

The fearless Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed of a country where the promise of America would be realized for everyone. We’ve made meaningful progress in the fight against the scourge of racism, but the fight continues.

This Administration is engaged in a lawless harassment campaign against guys like me. I won't be intimidated—not for a single second.

Rail workers have dealt with decades of industry consolidation and cost-cutting that put corporate profits above safety. [1/3]

This is a big win for workers in Western PA and across the country! I’m proud to have helped NIOSH workers get their jobs back so they can keep doing important worker safety research.

Secretary Noem’s leadership has been marked by failure, lawbreaking, and corruption. She's got to go. Congress should impeach and remove her from office.

The American people can sniff out corruption a mile away. Fighting it can’t sit on the back burner.

When we fight for workers, we can win ✊

Elon Musk's failed DOGE tried to gut the agency that does the research to help keep workers safe on the job—putting hundreds of Western Pennsylvanians out of work. [1/4]

We need to reform the Insurrection Act of 1807 for the 21st century. I have the bill to do it.

Senator Mark Kelly is a patriot, and I stand with him in his righteous fight against Secretary Hegseth's outrageous efforts to try to scare retired servicemembers from speaking truth to power.

The United States of America doesn't attack our NATO allies and seize their lands with military force. And remember: when we were attacked on 9/11, Denmark sent troops to fight and bleed in support of America’s fight in Afghanistan.
