Today, House Republicans wasted committee time targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center, going after the organization’s finances and ties to Democratic administrations.
It’s stunning hypocrisy coming from the party of the Koch brothers and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.

A man detained at California's largest ICE facility likely has cancer but he's been continuously denied medication and urgent treatment as his condition worsens.
We filed an emergency motion in court demanding he gets access to the care he needs that could save his life.

Nearly 50,000 people in NJ-07—including my own family—are facing ACA premiums projected to jump from under $500 to about $1,600 a month for a bronze plan with a $12,000 deductible. In the richest economy on earth, that’s unacceptable, and in Congress I’ll fight for truly affordable health care.
