In support of voting rights and election integrity, I introduced the Vote by Mail Protection Act to invalidate this unlawful and partisan executive order and prohibit the USPS and other federal agencies from using any taxpayer funds to restrict voting rights. lynch.house.gov/2026/5/rep-s...
New legislation alert - “vote by mail protection act”

For over 60 years, the bipartisan Voting Rights Act has protected the fundamental right of every American citizen to vote. 

Amid unlawful efforts by President Trump to undermine the integrity of our elections, repeal voting by mail (except for him), and restrict voting rights, a misguided Supreme Court majority has now attacked our landmark civil rights and voting rights law. 

We must not allow the right to vote to be taken away from anyone in this country, and we must continue to fight for the passage of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act – to restore and protect the right to vote.

As a direct result of the resolution filed by our Committee, @OversightDems, to hold her in contempt of Congress, former Attorney General Pam Bondi has finally agreed to comply with our subpoena to testify in our Committee’s Epstein investigation under oath. 

I look forward to questioning Ms. Bondi on May 29th about her efforts to withhold thousands of pieces of evidence connecting President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and other obstructions, as well as the full extent of her knowledge of crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators – including information contained in the more than 2.5 million files that the Trump Department of Justice is unlawfully withholding from Congress.

From his reckless threats to annihilate a “whole civilization” in Iran to his shameless attacks targeting Pope Leo XIV , President Trump continues to exhibit unhinged behavior that is unfitting of the office of the President of the United States.

I strongly support H.R. 8275 – a bill to establish a bipartisan commission, made up of former Presidents and other retired Executive Branch officials, physicians, and psychiatrists, to assess presidential fitness and ensure that the President is fully and faithfully capable of discharging the powers and duties of the office.

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi flatly refused to testify before our Oversight Committee today regarding her deliberate efforts to withhold evidence, coddle Ghislaine Maxwell, and block the Epstein investigation. 

Her refusal to testify comes in the face of a duly authorized subpoena supported by both Democrats and Republicans. 

The hundreds of underage victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice, and I am calling upon my Republican colleagues in Congress to hold the abusers accountable and to compel those powerful figures who would obstruct justice in this case. Congress should immediately hold Ms. Bondi in contempt of Congress.

This week, we will again demand a vote on a War Powers Resolution to force President Trump to come to Congress to obtain authorization for the use of military force in Iran.

President Trump just submitted a budget to Congress that again proposes the outright elimination of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
 
Last year, LIHEAP provided vital financial assistance to nearly 160,000 working families in Massachusetts for heating and cooling bills and home improvements that will reduce their household energy consumption and costs.
 
With working families in the 8th Congressional District and throughout the state facing energy bills that have doubled and even tripled over the last year, I am calling on the House Appropriations Committee to reject the Trump budget and fund LIHEAP at the highest possible level for the upcoming year.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch @lynch.house.gov · 10/04/2026
During today’s House session, the Republican leadership blocked our demand for an immediate vote on a War Powers Resolution to force President Trump to come to Congress to obtain authorization for the continued use of military force against Iran. 

With the President now spewing profanities and threatening attacks against the civilian population while vowing to end a “whole civilization,” he appears unhinged. 

Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, gas prices are at $4.00, and Trump’s so-called ceasefire seems to be falling apart.

 I will continue to push back against the insanity and end this reckless and misguided war of choice that is placing the safety of American service members at great risk.

After casting a mail-in ballot himself last week, President Trump continues to propagate disinformation and flat-out lies about election fraud in a shameless attempt to restrict the constitutional right to vote of every American. 

His executive order to disenfranchise American voters through federal control of elections is patently unlawful, and we will fight it in court – where state and federal judges nationwide have already dismissed, over lack of evidence, more than 60 cases brought by President Trump and his associates to challenge the integrity of American elections.

Electricity rates are soaring across the country and American families are paying far too much for their electricity.   That’s why I support the #EnergyBillsReliefAct to lower costs by expanding access to affordable & reliable clean energy.

During her closed-door “briefing” to Oversight Committee Members, the Attorney General could not explain why her Justice Department has failed to pursue a case against Epstein’s co-conspirators.

There has been no clear evidence from the intelligence community that Iran presented an imminent threat to the United States. The Trump Administration is spending roughly $1 billion dollars a day in this conflict, funding which could have been used here at home.

We finally received a classified briefing on the situation in Iran from Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Caine, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe - one that failed to articulate an actual justification for an undefined military operation that continues to place American service members at risk. 

With President Trump still refusing to rule out American boots on the ground, I will firmly vote yes on H. Con. Res. 38, which requires Congress to authorize any U.S. military force against Iran.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch @lynch.house.gov · 01/03/2026
My deepest sympathy and respect to the families of the three brave U.S. service members killed in action during ongoing military operations against Iran.  

I also wish the dedicated service members who have been wounded in action a speedy and full recovery. 

The safety and security of our sons and daughters in uniform remains my highest priority and I will continue to demand that Congress exercise its constitutional authority to conduct oversight of military action and provide maximum protection for American service members deployed in the region.

We need to be thorough and ensure that anyone who may have had any information or access to Epstein’s horrific crimes is brought in for questioning, including President Trump. The survivors deserve justice.

President Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed tariffs worldwide. It is reassuring that six Supreme Court justices said NO and held this Administration accountable to the rule of law.

Today, I joined my fellow Oversight Committee Democrats in Ohio for a deposition to question billionaire Les Wexner about his strong ties to Jeffrey Epstein. It was Wexner who gave Epstein the financial capacity to commit many abuses while he was in a position to stop many of these crimes.

I have no confidence in the Trump Administration when it comes to the full release of the Epstein files. As a member of @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social, I will continue to work with my colleagues to secure the full release of the documents to ensure the survivors receive the justice they deserve.

Based on obstruction of congressional oversight, failure to comply with immigration law, violations of constitutional due process requirements, and unlawful interference with emergency funding duly enacted by Congress, I strongly support the Impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Noem.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch @lynch.house.gov · 24/01/2026
ICE agents just brutally executed the second U.S. citizen in recent days on the streets of Minneapolis - this man was simply filming masked and armed ICE agents who have been approaching people randomly on the streets of that city, asking that people produce papers and identification - clearly violating their civil rights. 

After today’s shooting, the ICE agents simply walked away, leaving the victim’s body lying in the street. 

This Gestapo-like conduct looked like a firing squad - taking a human life for no reason. 

Every American should be ashamed to watch this happening. 

The victim was lying prone in the street when he was executed. 

What kind of nation have we become? 

ICE agents need to stand down and allow the situation to de-escalate, and Congress must guarantee that a full and independent investigation be allowed to proceed in order to hold these agents accountable under the law. 

This is exactly why I voted to block federal ICE funding earlier this week in Congress.

ICE, under the direction of Kristi Noem, has completely gone off the rails and is violating the basic rights of American citizens. I will be voting NO on any funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

As a member of the Committee on Oversight & Government Reform, I am continuing to work with my Democratic colleagues to investigate cases of misconduct and abuse during federal immigration enforcement operations. I have also agreed to cosponsor Articles of Impeachment for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem given her continued obstruction of congressional oversight, her criminal refusal to comply with immigration law and willful violation of constitutional due process requirements and unlawful interference with emergency funding enacted by Congress.

Today, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are forcing a vote to restore expanded Affordable Care Act tax credits for the next three years. I will be voting YES to extend these life-saving tax credits that millions of working families depend on to access quality and affordable healthcare.
I am voting to lower your healthcare costs.

As a member of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, I joined my Democratic colleagues today in demanding a full investigation into the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by a federal immigration enforcement agent in Minnesota today. 

The initial videos are extremely troubling and warrant a full and thorough review of the circumstances that led to this tragedy. 

My heart goes out to the victim, Renee Nicole Good, her family, and the entire Minneapolis community.

Tonight, we fought to the bitter end to try to save our local hospitals, Community Health Centers, and Nursing Homes, which rely on Medicaid for much of their funding, and to preserve health insurance subsidies for middle- and low-income families. We came up a few votes short tonight, but we will keep fighting and take back the House for the American people in the midterms. Remember next November.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch @lynch.house.gov · 12/11/2025
Today, I will be voting NO on the Republican Budget bill which would eliminate tax subsidies that working families depend on to afford healthcare and it fails to prevent $1 trillion cuts to Medicaid and Medicare that fund our local Hospitals, Community Health Centers, and Nursing Homes.

What is Global Entry?

Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States.

Though intended for frequent international travelers, there is no mini- mum number of trips necessary to qualify for the program. Participants may enter the United States by using automated kiosks located at many major airports or the mobile app. Program members may use their benefits in conjunction with personal and/or official travel.
