Proud to join Rep. Rosa Delauro & Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand reintroduce the FAMILY Act to finally give new parents and caregivers time off without sacrificing their livelihood. It's well past time for #PaidLeaveForAll.

This week, I met with the Alzheimer's Association to discuss funding for dementia care & how we can best meet our community's needs. I also heard directly from folks who shared their work to educate & engage people across multiple generations. I'm continuously grateful for their advocacy.

Steelworkers are the backbone of our communities in Western PA. Grateful to @steelworkers.bsky.social District 10 for stopping by to talk about our continued fight to protect workers.

We just received more Epstein files. More proof the corruption runs deep. No matter your title, wealth, or political party, if you're complicit in abusing or silencing women and girls, we will hold you to account. We're going to keep fighting for justice and transparency. ⬇️

Removing bus stops from the Waterfront disregards the needs of thousands of riders who depend on this lifeline every single week. My team and I will continue to work with all stakeholders to find a solution and get these stops restored.

Republicans want to make the housing crisis a partisan issue but they control the White House and Congress. They have the opportunity to propose solutions that address the underlying causes. They're all talk without a plan or policy to help everyday people.

The grief and outrage of the families of American citizens killed and detained by Israeli forces was palpable. I'm grateful for their advocacy driven by the hope that more families do not experience the same pain. We cannot have different systems of treatment for one group of folks over another.

Leave it to this administration to use a shooting against immigrant detainees to score political points and further provoke violence. We have to get guns off our streets and reject xenophobic and anti-immigrant sentiment that makes all of us less safe.

Pennsylvanians are already feeling the effects of climate change through more frequent and severe extreme weather. Hundreds of lives and billions of dollars in damage have been lost. The EPA must maintain the Endangerment Finding to protect communities from the harms of climate change.

Trump is yet again trying to force "patriotic education" on our kids. Be serious. We cannot take our lead on patriotism from someone who tries to sanitize and whitewash American history.

At last week's @oversightdemocrats.house.gov hearing where Republicans were trying to impose their will on residents of DC, I made it absolutely clear: You are not going to erase Black people from the District of Columbia or any other place. www.bet.com/article/dddq...

Shana Tova to all our Jewish friends, family, neighbors, and community members in Western PA and beyond! May your new year be sweet and filled with joy, health, and happiness.

The decisions made at the federal level deeply impact our communities at the local level. During a roundtable today at the Allegheny County Courthouse, I heard from experts about the need to continue investing in our communities, not making federal cuts.

We should be investing in people, not prisons, to keep our communities safe. Last week, I launched the Community Safety Caucus with my colleagues to bring evidence-based, lived-experience solutions to the forefront of our policies. Poverty and trauma should never be the status quo.

Tom Homan accepted $50k in bribes from FBI agents in exchange for government contracts. The Trump admin knew and covered it up. The corrupt protect the corrupt. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

For too long, super PACs have poisoned our politics, flooding our elections with limitless money and drowning out the voices of the American people Proud to join Rep. Delia Ramirez in introducing the Stop Super PAC-Candidate Coordination Act to stop special interests from buying candidates.

Republicans talk a lot about DC but they've never been beyond the four blocks around the Capitol, and it shows.

Republicans failed at yet another opportunity to make healthcare more affordable for working families. I voted no on their plan that will spike premiums and raise healthcare costs for Pennsylvanians and folks across the country.

Our very own Allegheny County folks made their way to DC this week for the Allegheny Conference on Community Development. Thanks for stopping by to discuss how we can work together to ensure our Western PA community can thrive.

Trump is using DC as a test kitchen for the horrible policies he plans to force on us across the country. We have to push back before he comes for all our districts next.

Trey Reed had a bright future, surrounded by friends and family who loved him deeply. His death is a disturbing reminder of Mississippi’s history of lynching Black people. Trey's loved ones and the entire community deserve answers. There must be an independent investigation into his death.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr is bending the knee to Trump and silencing voices he disagrees with. Republicans just blocked our motion to subpoena him.

Canceling Kimmel & Colbert. Suing the media for coverage they don't like. Attacking universities whose students speak out. The Trump admin's attacks on free speech & the press are designed to silence dissent. We aren't just approaching authoritarianism—we're already in it.

Ironic that this admin is celebrating Constitution Day when they spend every day trampling on the Constitution. If they keep going at this rate there won't be one to celebrate.

Some say the collapse of our democracy began when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United. Now, in our political system, money speaks louder than people. Proud to introduce the Citizens Over Corporations Amendment to overturn Citizens United and make our government work for us.

In this committee, Republicans have made clear that environmental crimes that harm entire communities get sympathy hearings, while working families get prison sentences. Communities like mine deserve better. They deserve protection, not prosecution.

The Trump admin's takeover of DC is a preview of what we can expect they'll try to do around the country. This week, Republicans are pushing bills that would violate DC's right to home rule, throw middle schoolers in jail, and expand Trump's authoritarian takeover of our cities. I'm voting no.

Today I stood with the families of Rachel, Ayşenur, Tawfic, Sayfollah, and Mohammed—all American citizens who have been killed or detained by Israeli forces or settlers. They deserve to be home with their loved ones, and to have been protected by our laws, our Constitution, and our government.

Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! This month and every month, I'm proud to celebrate and uplift the history, culture, and achievements of the Hispanic community in Western PA and across the country.

The mass graves discovered in Chemmani included a baby bottle, schoolbags, and children's toys among the 141 skeletons. This is yet another reminder of the terrible atrocities committed against the Tamil people. www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/w...

What we're unraveling in the Epstein case could be a bigger scandal than Watergate involving billionaires & foreign governments. My motion to subpoena the files is bringing us closer to getting the full truth for survivors & the American people. We will keep fighting for transparency & justice.

Trump would have you believe that having more money makes you less dangerous and more deserving of release. That's not how due process works. If Republicans want to reform our criminal legal system, they can start by passing my True Justice Act to give folks legal representation at bail hearings.

Unions are the first line of defense against authoritarianism. As Trump and Republicans find any excuse to ramp up their relentless attacks on workers, we have to stand with union workers across the country.

In the past two years, Israel has bombed nation after nation with no repercussions — all while conducting a genocide and manufacturing a famine in Gaza using our taxpayer dollars. It's past time to block the bombs. We need an arms embargo now. theintercept.com/2025/09/09/i...

Republicans want to make it a crime to not have a home but they're not going to do anything to help you afford one. Instead, they'd rather lock you up. The cruelty and callousness is astounding.

The people must reclaim their power and @repsummerlee.bsky.social is fighting for Americans in DC for them to do exactly that. She joins Katie Phang to talk about the latest updates in the Epstein File production and why Big Money has no place in politics anymore. youtu.be/onrgQJse5m4?...

Today we mourn the thousands of people senselessly killed 24 years ago and remember the courage of the first responders. We will #NeverForget, and we will continue working towards a better, more peaceful future.

Today I met with advocates for the Block the Bomb Act: Dr. Adil Husain who recently returned from Gaza with devastating stories of children killed by Israeli forces, and @cynthianixon.bsky.social and Morgan Spector who are using their platforms to uplift the humanity of Palestinians.

Three students were shot at a high school in Colorado, and Charlie Kirk was just shot and killed at a university in Utah. Gun violence and political violence cannot continue to devastate our communities. We need gun reform now.

Everyone should have access to the mental healthcare that they need to thrive. This #SuicidePreventionMonth, check in on your loved ones and know you can call or text 988 at any time to get the help you need.

The Epstein case is a multi-system cover up, and how we handle it sends a message to survivors of sexual assault everywhere. We will not allow the wealthy and powerful to be protected at the expense of survivors. Above all, they deserve healing, peace, and justice.

Whistleblowers are on the frontlines of fighting against actual waste, fraud, and abuse in this administration, but Trump is dismantling measures in place to support them. We have to focus on protecting all whistleblowers, not just the ones we agree with.

Gender affirming care is essential healthcare that literally saves lives. Solidarity with these activists and healthcare workers standing up to protect trans youth. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

My office and I are aware of the terrible fire in Squirrel Hill and are relieved to hear no one has been injured. I'm grateful to the firefighters and first responders on the ground. www.wtae.com/article/pitt...

No surprise the note *does* exist. More proof this White House cover-up is to protect Trump, the powerful, and the wealthy. Release the full files now.

Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act is going to harm our most vulnerable communities––starting with seniors. I joined Lawrenceville Seniors and @reppowell.com to make sure our seniors know what's going on and how we're continuing to fight for them no matter what Trump does.

Our education system was built to be unequal. Kids in wealthy zip codes get access to all the resources they need while other kids struggle—at no fault of their own. Republicans' cuts to education funding will be most harmful to students who already have to make do with the least.

Big corporations and billionaires think they can buy our government, but we will not let them drown out our voices. Grateful to @fsfp.bsky.social and the hundreds of folks who joined us last week to strategize and mobilize around taking money out of our politics to bring power back to the people.

Thought he was supposed to be the 'peacemaker and unifier' who would end all wars. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/u...
