ICYMI: Progressive Caucus rolled out our bold, popular agenda to lower costs, empower workers, strengthen our democracy, and more.
I’m so excited to fight for this slate of progressive and populist ideas that will deliver for poor, working, and middle-class Americans.
Predatory, for-profit institutions, like the Art Institutes, prey on disadvantaged students striving for a better future.
I’m grateful to President Biden for taking this step to bring justice to thousands of students, including many in my own district. washingtonpost.com/education/2024…
An invasion of Rafah would be catastrophic.
I joined Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean, and more than 50 of our colleagues to urge the Administration to use all tools possible to dissuade the Israeli government from moving forward with the Rafah offensive.

On World Press Freedom Day, we recognize how vital reporting and journalism are to democracy.
This year, the US dropped to 55th in RSF in English’s press freedom rankings. This is unacceptable. We must ensure journalists can accurately report without intimidation or interference.
An Israeli ground invasion of Rafah would be unconscionable.
That's why I'm joining Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean and 50+ colleagues urging President Biden to prevent this assault.
Diplomacy & saving lives must be the priority.

Thank you Rep. Pramila Jayapal & Congresswoman Madeleine Dean for your leadership.
Over 1 million Palestinians in Rafah have insufficient access to food, water, medicine and shelter. President Biden must continue to make clear that a military operation into Rafah that endangers innocent lives is unacceptable.
I & Congresswoman Madeleine Dean led 55 members in calling on the admin to prevent an assault on Rafah by any means necessary, including withholding offensive aid to Israel that can be used in an invasion. We must prioritize the safety of innocent Palestinian civilians. reuters.com/world/us-democ…
'We write with urgency to say: an offensive invasion into Rafah by Israel in the upcoming days is wholly unacceptable.' - 55 Dems, a record!, signed onto this letter to Biden from Rep. Pramila Jayapal & Rep Madeleine Dean calling for withholding of U.S. weapons:

Along w/ Congresswoman Madeleine Dean & 55 members, I called on the Biden admin to enforce US law & withhold offensive aid to Israel that can be used for a Rafah assault.
We all must keep working to achieve a lasting ceasefire to save lives, return hostages, & build a path toward security for all.
