The American Dream of owning a home is out of reach for far too many. I’m excited to vote for the Housing for the 21st Century Act tonight to boost housing production, expand pathways to affordable home ownership, and make the dream of owning a home a reality for more Americans.

President Trump knows he’s unpopular and on track to lose the midterms. That’s why he wants to seize control of our elections and cheat to keep Republicans in power. We must take him at his word and fight back.

Don Lemon’s work as a journalist is protected by the First Amendment. His arrest is another chilling example of the Trump administration weaponizing the federal government against its critics. Don must be released immediately.

President Trump has shown no willingness to fire Kristi Noem. That leaves Congress with no choice but to act. That is why I am cosponsoring articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the six million Jews and millions of other innocents murdered by the Nazi regime. We must recommit ourselves to fighting antisemitism and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never minimized or forgotten.

The data proves Trump wrong. California families spent $2,355 more on average last year because of inflation fueled by Trump's tariffs. The president needs to acknowledge reality and follow through on his promise to lower costs.

Public service is a public trust. Members of Congress should not profit from their positions or trade on info we may receive as part of our official duties. That's why I signed a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on a stock trading ban and help restore confidence in our government.

You should never have to choose between putting food on your table, covering your rent, and paying your health insurance premium. But for more than 20 million Americans, that already difficult decision will become even harder if Affordable Care Act subsidies are allowed to expire.
