House Democrats are committed to defending the fundamental right of individuals to make their own healthcare decisions. The fight to protect the right to abortion care, birth control, and fertility services is a fight for personal freedom.
Patti and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Representative Bill Pascrell Jr. Our thoughts are with his family, loved ones, and community. Representative Pascrell's unwavering commitment to his constituents and the American people will always be remembered with deep respect.
Two years ago today, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. This legislation provided the largest investment in history to tackle the threats posed by climate change. As your representative, I am committed to preserving our planet for generations to come.
On this day 89 years ago, FDR signed the Social Security Act into law. Nearly decades later, seniors, disabled workers, and children continue to receive their benefits. Democrats and
@POTUS
are committed to protecting this vital program!
Happy Birthday to me! 80 years young, and still spreading wildfire safety fun. Cheers to eight decades of saying

can prevent wildfires!

When Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, we included funding to address the effects of discrimination in farming and ranching and ensure producers have equitable access to the support they need to participate in the agriculture industry.
#OTD
in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed
#Medicare
and
#Medicaid
into law. 59 years later, nearly 150 million people across the country are now covered by these programs. I will always fight for Americans to have access to affordable and comprehensive healthcare.
Every person should have the ability to build their family if, when, and how they choose without being faced with baseless restrictions. As a member of the

#ProtectIVF
and safeguard access to fertility care for all people, full stop.
Thrilled to see the

@RepDustyJohnson

@SenAmyKlobuchar
. This critical rule will ensure fair trade for American exporters, so California’s agricultural products reach overseas markets at fair shipping rates
My statement commending Mitch Mashburn, Chair of the Solano County Board of Supervisors, for his recent announcement regarding the California Forever development project.
While the prior administration gave special tax breaks to corporate landlords, President Biden is working to lower housing costs for families. Republicans should join Democrats to pass the President’s plan to reduce costs and provide relief for Americans now.
The Biden administration is proposing a new way to keep rents around the U.S. from soaring: limit corporate landlords to annual rent increases of no more than 5%, or else they would lose a major tax break.
Like 1.9 million Americans each year, I recently received the dreaded call from my doctor informing me that I had cancer. I am thankful to have caught this early, and we are confident that I will soon be in remission. Watch my full statement here:
Yesterday's Supreme Court decision overturned a 40-year precedent ensuring that no corporation is above the law. Our public health, environment, and workplaces are at risk by preventing federal agencies from holding corporations accountable.
SCOTUS overturned the 1984 precedent, 'Chevron deference.' This could curtail efforts by the SEC, which is already fending off an increasing legal assault from public companies and major Wall Street firms, to establish new rules
