We need to increase federal funding for pancreatic cancer research in honor of all those we've lost too soon.

D'Angelo's music leaves behind a powerful legacy, one that will endure for years to come.

Tragically, he was taken far too soon by pancreatic cancer.

Black Americans face the highest risk of developing this deadly disease.

$17,000 more just to pay for basic health insurance is insane.

I don't know if my Republican colleagues understand what it's like to not be able to afford healthcare.

We can’t lose sight of what needs to happen next: aid, accountability for war crimes, and an end to the military occupation of Gaza.

I’m heartened to see so many Palestinian and Israeli civilians reunited with their families.

This is a moment of joy and relief to so many—but thousands in Gaza are still at risk without the immediate surge of aid.

Our nation has a long history of failing Indigenous communities, and it’s our duty to do better.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, I remain dedicated to supporting policies that protect tribal lands, uphold sovereignty, and advance tribal programs.

JD Vance, Hoosiers don't want mid-decade redistricting.

What we do want is for Republicans to end their government shutdown and prevent healthcare costs from skyrocketing. indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/new-p...

Only after a true and permanent ceasefire can we push for a real solution that ends the siege on Gaza, ends the decades long military occupation, and holds every person accountable for the war crimes of the last 2 years. Peace can only be achieved alongside justice.

I've been calling for a ceasefire and an end to this suffering from the beginning. We need a real, lasting peace deal — with weapons put down and a surge of sustained humanitarian aid.

I'm encouraged to see an initial agreement to potentially starting a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.

Even though President Trump and Republicans shut down the government, my office remains open and committed to serving you.

The Trump administration just eliminated $6.7 million in clean energy funding for Indianapolis International Airport's award-winning solar farm. I'm fighting to get this funding back because it belongs to Indianapolis, not President Trump.

The majority party in Congress sets the voting schedule. House Republicans canceled votes for all of the entire week.

They haven't scheduled a vote since September 19.

Remember that the next time they try to blame the shutdown on Democrats.

These expiring healthcare subsidies are not going to undocumented immigrants. It's misinformation—period.

Republicans shut down our government and are refusing to save healthcare for 22 million Americans.

This is a Republican shutdown. By refusing to do their jobs, MAGA Republicans are causing health insurance premiums for Indianapolis families to increase. This is not the time for political games when lives are on the line.

Using Miami Correctional Facility to hold immigrants for ICE is wrong for Indiana. Every human deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and the right to due process. I stand with faith leaders to end this complicity.

Republicans are hiding behind a lie instead of helping them.

FACT CHECK: Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for public health insurance. Democrats are not advocating to make them eligible.

We ARE advocating for 22 million Americans to keep their affordable insurance—cancer patients. Disabled children.

The House floor today. On the Democratic side, seats are filled. On the Republican side – empty.

Government funding expires at midnight. Republicans didn’t even show up to work.

A government shutdown is likely happening tonight. But Republicans aren't even in DC to negotiate. Democrats have one request: don't take healthcare away from millions of Americans.
