The #EPA has moved to abandon the soot rule. You have got to be kidding. This move is beyond irresponsible. It is dangerous. It is an attack on the health and well being of our people. For the Trump administration to walk away from lifesaving soot standards is pollution letting at its worst.

Last week on #Talk1073 with Brian Haldane, we discussed the vote on releasing the Epstein files. I made it clear: transparency and justice must prevail. We also talked about progress on the National Flood Insurance Program. Listen:

U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer told #SCOTUS that the Trump administration would no longer try to withhold #SNAP benefits from the 42 million Americans who depend on the program to put food on their families’ tables. To be clear, the Trump administration should have never stopped funding SNAP.

On #RuralHealthDay, we recognize the vital role rural providers play in keeping our communities healthy. Everyone deserves access to quality health care—no matter where they live. That’s why I will always stand against cuts to #Medicaid that would devastate rural hospitals in states like #Louisiana.

Jim Bernhard was a legend of Louisiana. The headlines called him an icon, a titan, a giant of a man. Those who knew him understood why: he was a builder, a problem solver, and at his core, a man of deep faith. I was proud to honor his memory today on the House Floor.

After Louisiana was the first in the nation to secure federal approval plans to deploy $1.3B in #BEAD broadband deployment funding to connect hundreds of thousands of residents to high-speed internet, the Trump administration decided to scrap the plan and make us start over.

I voted to release the Epstein files because the American people deserve to know the full truth about the Epstein criminal network and how this convicted sex offender was able to operate for decades. Today’s vote is a victory for transparency, accountability, and—most importantly—survivors.

Don C. Hubbard is a towering New Orleans civil rights leader whose work helped desegregate our city and open doors that had long been closed. From CORE activism in the 1960s to decades of community leadership, he pushed New Orleans toward justice with courage and conviction.

While Republicans took a 43-day vacation, I stayed with #HouseDems working for you in both D.C. & #LA02. I spoke with constituents about the shutdown, the importance of #ACA tax credits & #SNAP benefits, fought for voting rights as #SCOTUS heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, & much more.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Bernhard, a giant of Louisiana industry and a powerful force for progress in our state. Jim was more than a business leader. He was a visionary who built opportunity where others saw obstacles.

I was proud to join Dillard University for the ribbon cutting of their new off-campus residence hall. This beautiful new facility will house more than 200 students and represents another step in Gentilly’s continued renewal since Hurricane Katrina.

Tonight, I voted NO on the disastrous Republican budget because it abandons the very people we were sent here to serve—working families, seniors, and children who depend on affordable health care.

Twelve days into open enrollment, millions of Americans are already feeling the pain of higher premiums, deductibles, and copays. Yet the Senate-negotiated package does nothing to solve the Republican health care crisis. Families deserve real relief, not political games.

Did you know that 80 percent of voters, including 82 percent of swing voters, believe the Trump administration should prioritize domestic issues over the Argentina bailout? The American people are focused on the issues that affect their everyday lives like affordable health care and groceries.

We honor the brave men and women who served, those still serving, and the families who stand beside them.
Freedom has a cost — and they paid it for us.

I’m grateful that #SCOTUS has denied the request to revisit the landmark marriage equality decision. Every person deserves dignity, respect, & the freedom to marry the person they love. This ruling reaffirms that those rights are not up for debate. This is a win for equality, democracy, & love.
