Our kids are dreaming big and they're counting on us to do the same! We can build a future with affordable healthcare, accessible housing, good-paying jobs, and livable communities. I'm working in Congress to make this future real for the students at Meadows Elementary School.

Releasing the Epstein files is about making sure our justice system serves the public, not the powerful and well-connected.

Unionized Starbucks workers have been trying to negotiate a contract with Starbucks since 2023—it should not take that long. Every union worker deserves an ethical and fair contract.

Trump is threatening death to lawmakers he doesn't agree with. Read that again.
Americans deserve better than someone who spews hate and perpetuates political violence in the White House.

Our trans community deserves unconditional love and support.
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we lift up those who were taken from us too soon—no one should be attacked or targeted for being their truest, most authentic self. Every person deserves equal rights and protections.

As the first pulmonologist in Congress, take it from me: early detection saves lives. This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, I'm encouraging those with risk factors to talk with their trusted physician about getting screened. I'll keep fighting for the affordable, accessible care you deserve.

Jena-Lisa Jones was only 14 when she was taken. She deserves justice.
The American people deserve the truth.
I voted to release the Epstein files. The Senate must do the same.

Trump says he supports the House vote to release the Epstein files. That’s odd because he has the authority to just release them all RIGHT NOW. Why isn’t he?

If you can't stand on facts and science, you don't belong anywhere near the Department of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. has got to go.

My casework team has been hard at work for the people of Oregon's Third District. I am excited to share that we have helped constituents recover more than half a million dollars owed to them by the federal government.

Oregonians deserve more than the status quo—they deserve a government that is obsessed with serving working families. That’s how I am approaching my work in Congress.

Speaker Mike Johnson kept the House on vacation for WEEKS to avoid swearing in Congresswoman Grijalva, all because her signature would have forced a vote to release the Epstein files. Today she was finally sworn in.

After a 54-day paid vacation, House Republicans are finally back at work.
It’s devastating that they are back just to rubber-stamp a funding deal that does nothing to make healthcare more affordable for working families.

I’m in the House Rules Committee to testify against the Senate’s broken deal to reopen the government. We need a funding agreement that protects healthcare, not one that betrays working families. House Democrats are holding the line.

The ‘deal’ that passed out of the Senate last night was an insult to the American people. I’m headed back to DC to hold the line for your healthcare.

The Senate needs to hold the line for a government funding deal that protects healthcare and lowers costs. Not one that sells out the American people.

Calling what’s coming out of the Senate a ‘deal’ is an insult. It’s caving on millions of people’s healthcare, putting a bow on it, and calling it compromise.

The rule of law has been upheld, not the whims of a wannabe king. Today a federal judge issued a permanent injunction against the National Guard being deployed in Portland. This affirms what we’ve always known: Portland is home. Not a military target.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi often reminded House members that our job title and description are the same: representative. Since 1987, Nancy Pelosi embodied that truth as a brilliant and accomplished representative for the people of San Francisco and for our nation.
