Thank you to Riley from Bellevue and her fellow Georgetown classmates for speaking with me about youth gun violence prevention today. Really appreciate your work as young advocates.
The last minimum wage increase was 16 years ago today, making it $7.25. Our world has changed exponentially since then, and this hourly wage is not sustainable for working-class Americans. I have been a long-time supporter of the Raise the Wage Act, which would spike the federal…
It's bizarre to shut down the House of Representatives early to avoid voting on the release of the Epstein files. There's bipartisan support to release the files, so what's the hold up? nytimes.com/2025/07/22/us/…

Tammy Bruce: "Yes, we're gonna destroy the emergency food rations that might expire, and then replenish them."
There must be an investigation into the killing of Sayfollah Musallet. I introduced the West Bank Violence Prevention Act with @RepJerryNadler and @jahimes to deter acts of violence and ensure perpetrators are held accountable. The rise in violence in the West Bank is…
I am horrified by the brutal murder of 20‑year‑old Palestinian‑American Sayfollah Musallet by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Reports that the settlers prevented ambulances from reaching the victims and IDF soldiers were also present but failed to intervene are deeply…
We need hundreds of thousands of more blue-collar workers in this country. Everyone should have access to a good-paying job, regardless of whether they have a college degree. Now is the time to expand access to high-quality job training programs like pre-apprenticeships that…
Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.” “Well, AI is coming for the coders.” “It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.” “In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need…
