Congress has a responsibility to pass my bipartisan legislation, the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act, before the ACP’s funding begins to sunset as soon as tomorrow.

23 million American households are depending on our action today.

We cannot let them down.

People, not politicians, must have the power and right to make their own health care decisions.

House Democrats are standing with President Biden in our fight to restore every Americans’ reproductive freedoms, like access to abortion care, birth control, and essential fertility services.

As National Minority Health Month comes to its close, it’s imperative our support for diversifying our health workforce does not waver an inch.

Diversity in our healthcare system undeniably delivers better outcomes for underserved patients, and it’s time we make it a priority.

Over the past three years, the Affordable Connectivity Program has kept more than 23 million households connected to the internet.

But in the coming days, recipients will have to find new ways to stay online when funding begins to expire.

It’s time for Congress to act now.

While vaccines have saved the lives of 154 million people over the past 50 years, tragically, 1.5 million children across the world still die from vaccine-preventable diseases every year. 

We must do more to ensure they have the vaccines they need to lead healthy, happy lives.

House Democrats are growing the middle class by making investments directly into our communities.

We’re creating good-paying jobs here at home, lowering costs, and building an economy for everyone — not just billionaires and big corporations.

Justice Jackson is absolutely correct.

Charging unhoused people as criminals is nothing more than an unjust, inhumane, and excessive punishment against those already suffering.

Overcoming the housing crisis demands compassionate solutions. Not needless cruelty.

Generative AI tools continue improving rapidly, creating deepfakes that are more convincing and sometimes nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.

It's imperative that Congress works to create meaningful safeguards to help prevent harm to people's livelihoods.

While SCOTUS began hearing arguments yesterday on whether doctors have the power to perform medically necessary abortions, I pray our nation’s highest court sees reason and protects the countless women whose lives are being endangered by these vicious abortion bans.

Following our years of fighting for a free and open internet, at long last, we’ve reached this historic day.

I am proud to celebrate this achievement at the side of Jessica Rosenworcel, Geoffrey Starks, and all others who made a reality in our nation once again.

Nearly 23 million American households, in both rural and urban communities, are set to lose access to the internet unless Congress takes action to save the Affordable Connectivity Program.

We must save the for the sake of our children, our economy, and our future.

Evan Gershkovich’s continued imprisonment is as absurd as it is tragic.

For more than a year, Evan has remained detained by the tyrannical Russian regime only for his devotion to the truth. Journalism will never be a crime. It’s past time to bring him home.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour the NYCSBUS depot in Greenpoint with Yvette D. Clarke.

It was great to see how the Biden administration's investments are funding clean electric school buses right here in Brooklyn!
