The Hyde Amendment makes women on Medicaid hostage to their geography and denies access to abortion coverage.     As Chair of @democrats-appropriations.house.gov in 2021 and 2022, I fought to take Hyde out of the House bills.   50 years is 50 too many.

Grand Avenue is one of New Haven’s cultural hubs with the largest concentration of Latino-owned businesses in the city. I visited some of them with Rep. Adelita Grijalva to talk to the hard-working business owners who run them & thank them for all they’re doing during a challenging time.

The Trump Administration is harming children again. The Office of Refugee Resettlement gutted independent legal services for these children. Without independent lawyers, children will face judges scared & alone. Many of these children fled trauma.The Trump Administration is traumatizing them again.

Public education fosters community engagement and allows students to thrive and grow. Republicans want to end it. My friend Rep. Adelita Grijalva and I are committed to protecting public education for future generations. We won’t deprive schools of the tools they need to support students.

It turns out the Trump administration used the One Big Beautiful Bill to pay for Trump’s political ads. When Democrats reclaim control of Congress, the House Appropriations Committee will work to uncover & reverse misuses of taxpayer money like this & hold those who abused their power accountable.

Since 2021, this annual event has provided free gun safes and bought back guns anonymously, including assault weapons— no questions asked. It is time to pass Ethan's Law to ensure safe gun storage & #KeepKidsSafe.

As we head into colder months, families across CT will face higher costs to heat their homes – up to 31.3% higher for home heating oil. Families cannot afford this. We must put an end to this war of choice & continue to support energy assistance programs that help families.

Destroying Grand Teton National Park to build a baseball stadium is unimaginable. President Trump has already cut over $2 billion for the National Park Service. Now they’re offering up our public lands to major corporations—destroying our environment for future generations.

Instead of addressing the cost-of-living crisis or skyrocketing gas prices due to President Trump’s war of choice in Iran, the Trump administration is trying to steal more money promised to communities across the country. They can't be trusted to carry out the law consistent with the Constitution.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of Elvin Hernandez, a public servant who dedicated his career to making our roads safer. My thoughts are with Elvin’s loved ones & the entire CTDOT family during this difficult time. Motorists: slow down & move over. It saves lives.

ICE reform is long overdue. So long as ICE continues to act this maliciously and with zero accountability, I will not vote to give them another dime. My prayers are with Wilber Rafael Garces Perez and his loved ones.

Diesel prices are skyrocketing, and since diesel fuels much of our economy, higher diesel costs mean higher prices for just about everything. So, the next time you’re filling up, don’t forget to thank Trump at the pump!

This is an extraordinarily dangerous proposal. The White House is playing politics with critical research into devastating illnesses like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease. Funding for life-saving biomedical research should never– ever– be subject to political litmus tests.
