We must return to diplomacy, uphold Congress’s authority, and prioritize the safety of U.S. service members and civilians above all else.

Abandoning that approach in favor of reckless escalation puts lives, security, and regional stability at risk.

I fought for and continue to defend the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which proved that diplomacy, not war, can constrain Iran’s nuclear program and keep Americans safe.

President Trump’s announcement of ‘major combat operations’ was not authorized by Congress, and I fully support a bipartisan War Powers resolution to reclaim our constitutional authority over matters of war.

The American people overwhelmingly do not want another war in the Middle East, and the last thing our country needs is to be drawn into a conflict that would cost lives and destabilize the region.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a vital lifeline for millions of low-income seniors, people with disabilities, and families struggling to make ends meet.

Let’s be clear: Medicare Advantage is not Medicare. These private insurance plans use Medicare’s trusted name while too often denying medically necessary care, restricting providers, and overcharging taxpayers by billions. That is…

Trump’s dangerous rhetoric cannot be normalized. We must act immediately to hold this administration accountable and protect the American people.

Iran should never be permitted to have a nuclear weapon.

Constituents are calling my office in tears. They are terrified.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If Trump’s Cabinet is too cowardly to act, Congress must do its duty and begin impeachment proceedings before more damage is done.

Donald Trump’s words, 'a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,' are more than empty threats.

‘Do not call’ means do not call. Period. But illegitimate and intrusive robocalls are only getting worse, especially as scammers weaponize AI to impersonate loved ones and exploit Americans. So many of us are bombarded with relentless…

As energy costs soar, we can’t risk letting bad actors rig the electricity market to line their own pockets at the expense of families.

Older adults and people with disabilities deserve to live with dignity and age in place. Yet the United States still lacks a comprehensive long-term care policy that meets the needs of our most vulnerable communities.

Black women in the U.S. are still far more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women, and that is unacceptable.

I’ve seen the devastating impact that car crashes and unsafe vehicles have on families and communities, and it is simply unacceptable that so many lives are still being lost on our roadways.

The power of the people is always greater than that of the people in power.

I hereby remove my name as a cosponsor of H. Res. 353. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Fine). The gentlewoman's request is granted. ____________________

If I do indeed decide to retire, there are dozens of talented leaders... ready to lead the charge.

I have always encouraged more participation in the democratic process.

The Social Security Expansion Act will protect the national treasure that is Social Security by extending the trust fund's solvency for 75 years.
