    I'm proud to be a co-chair of the Caucus and defend a program that keeps more than 60 million seniors from falling into poverty. Instead of cutting already meager benefits, we should work together to expand it.

    The death of a child in US custody is unacceptable, and I’m heartbroken over the death of Felipe Alonzo-Gomez. Once again, I’m demanding accountability, a full investigation, and answers from DHS.

    all over the country - like Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge in - are closed today, and employees are home without pay. This is not what Teddy Roosevelt had in mind.

    What’s a look like for the country? Here’s a quick explainer on what the government shutdown means for Americans as they prepare to celebrate the holidays. You’re a mean one, Mr. Trump.

    Trump and his enablers don't get their way, so they shut down the government to look tough. Now 78% of employees will be furloughed. Enjoy your holiday travel and remember who to thank for the .

    Any funding for a wall, fencing, or detention beds is a complete nonstarter, and I will oppose any CR including it. Border security begins with modernizing our ports of entry, and it’s time for Trump to stop holding govt funding hostage for his ridiculous, divisive border wall.

    SCOTUS determined what we've known for a long time: Trump's attacks on asylum seekers are wrong. I'm thrilled the courts recognized the right to seek asylum and stopped Trump's asylum ban for taking full effect and wreaking havoc on vulnerable individuals.

    Remember when Trump said he was 'proud' to shut down the government? Just remember he owns every bit of this crisis.

    Why does Trump's EPA continue to put the interests of polluters above the American people? Their new will roll back mercury standards that helped reduce pollution for U.S. power plants by more than 81% since first implemented.

    Just a reminder that Trump and his friends in Congress would rather pay for a useless than keep the government open to pay federal workers. Gotta love that Republican holiday spirit, right?

    The only people who want a are Trump, his cronies, and his disconnected base. New polling of voters shows that on a list of priorities, the urgency of a border wall is far from the top.

    Despite the sabotage efforts from the Trump administration, there was no large decline in health coverage enrollment. The Affordable Care Act is still popular, and still helping millions of Americans get covered.

    As Trump throws a temper tantrum over his , a would force 420,000 federal employees to work without pay & another 400,000 employees to be furloughed-right before the holidays. He may not live paycheck-to-paycheck, but that's the reality for others.

    The culture set at Interior by Zinke is the epitome of Trump's proverbial swamp. I have serious questions about decisions made under his watch, and will conduct vigorous oversight into them. Check out my sit-down with the Washington Post.

    Libraries and museums are vital to ensuring a lifetime of learning for everyone--no matter their race, age, gender, or socio-economic status. I'm thrilled the Museum and Library Services Act of 2018 passed last night, and more libraries have funding to expand their services.

    I’ve seen the important role libraries and museums play in educating and serving our communities. I’m thrilled that S.3530 passed and now, they will have more resources to expand their services and reach more people.

    🎇🎆 Congress has passed S. 3530, the Museum and Library Services Act (MLSA)! We are so proud and thrilled to see the reauthorization of cross the finish line, capping two years of hard work by all library advocates! 🎇🎆

    Under Zinke, public lands were prioritized for one purpose: extraction of resources. Come January, House Democrats will get back to working and ensuring that conservation and preservation are back in any conversations concerning public lands.

    "I'm not going to jump in the sty and wrestle with Zinke." responds to the insulting and personal tweet sent by Ryan Zinke, noting "this has been an M.O. for this administration ... if you're cornered ... you lash out at the individual."
