This week a Farm Bill appears in the House with language trying to shield Monsanto (Bayer) from legal liability from Roundup pesticides causing cancer—shielding the company from billions in liability. Same company that Trump’s White House Chief of Staff and former AG lobbied for. We’re a HELL NO!

📢 #MA7: Join members of my staff & Councilor Miniard Culpepper's staff for community office hours this Wednesday. Come learn from our staff about federal & local resources available to you, and how our offices can support.

Trump and Republicans’ cuts are destroying the rural economy. Now, they want to pass a Farm Bill that cuts the programs that help our farmers and ranchers survive the crises they created.

Headed back to Washington, where @houserepublicans.bsky.social are pushing: 📈 Trump’s illegal war driving up costs 🛒 More cuts to SNAP 💰 Billions more for ICE & CBP There’s a better path. That’s why I’m pushing to end the forever wars and lower costs for families.

Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear program was "obliterated” last summer. But in our Energy & Commerce hearing, Secretary Wright told a different story. 🤔

A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. 

They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.

The Trump Administration tariffs and $20 Billion they doled out to Argentina from US taxpayers, was not well received in regions like the one I represent in NW Ohio. Imagine how those dollars could be used instead to help farmers meet the increasing costs they're bearing right now.

MAHA advocates are fed up with this administration paying lip service to their movement while delivering win after win for the chemical industry. Let’s just say EPA Admin. Zeldin did not respond well to being called out on his and his agency’s MAHA hypocrisy.

During this year's Santa Barbara Earth Day festival, I had the honor of presenting the Environmental Hero award to my good friend and community leader Assemblymember Gregg Hart.

PART 2 of my town hall recap where I heard your concerns about Trump's inhumane immigration policies and protecting SFO's international travels, among other issues. Watch the full discussion here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=05wp...

Small businesses are the fabric of our local economies, and they should not have to go into debt to keep their doors open because of Trump’s tariffs.    These tariffs are unconstitutional, and I will hold Trump accountable to make sure that small businesses get their fair share back.

DACA recipients grew up here. They're our neighbors, our teachers, our nurses, our small business owners, and leaders. Passing the American Dream and Promise Act is long overdue. The bill will guarantee permanent protections for Dreamers and provide them a pathway to citizenship.

Today, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans once again refused to pass the Senate's bill to fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Do your jobs: Quit blocking this and focus on getting prices down and ending Trump’s illegal war!

The Constitution is clear: states run elections, not the White House. While President Trump has tried to unilaterally usurp powers he simply does not legally possess, this coalition has intervened to ensure the administration follows the rule of law. www.wlns.com/news/nessel-...

At $23 for a bale of hay—our farmers and ranchers are facing a perfect storm! From the cost of diesel, to drought, to tariffs, to cuts to basic food programs—our communities are struggling. That’s why I’m here to take a stand on the Farm Bill for New Mexico this week!

Today I joined @budzinski.house.gov and colleagues in the @laborcaucus.house.gov in calling on REI to negotiate with union workers in Orange and nationwide on a fair collective bargaining agreement and to avoid any union-busting.

Urban agriculture fights food insecurity and builds stronger communities. That's why I am offering my legislation that will boost access to fresh, healthy food across our communities as an amendment to the Farm Bill. Let’s get it done.

Trump wants to boost war spending a whopping half a TRILLION dollars. Here's what that could fund instead:

Trump wants to weaponize taxpayer data to target immigrants. People who work hard and pay their taxes shouldn’t have to fear their personal information being used against them. And this won’t stop there. If he gets away with targeting immigrants today, your information could be next tomorrow.

For 10 years, Tempe's own FABRIC has proven Arizona can lead on sustainable, American-made fashion — supporting more than 2,500 local entrepreneurs. I was honored to present founders Sherri Barry and Angela Johnson with a Congressional Commendation on their 10th anniversary.

Congratulations to the Oregon Historical Society and the Yasui family for being recognized with a 2026 Oregon Heritage Excellence Award for the exhibit "The Yasui Family: An American Story." 🧵

In Wisconsin, we help and take care of each other. When a neighbor's in need, we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Red or blue, it doesn’t matter—and it shouldn’t. We darn well ought to be able to expect the same from the President of the United States of America. Shameful.

It’s been over 70 days since House Republicans shut down the Department of Homeland Security. Why? Because they refuse to work with Democrats on commonsense reforms to ICE.  House Republicans are playing games with our security.

Here in California, we all know how important it is for people to find homes they can afford and enjoy. That’s why I'm proud to deliver $3 million to expand affordable housing in San Bernardino County and give hundreds of our neighbors a safe and comfortable place to live.

My office is here to help! We can advocate for you with federal agencies – on things like getting veterans benefits, passports, or your Social Security check. No problem is too small. Just visit: gluesenkampperez.house.gov/casework

Great to be with Senator Darrin Camilleri and so many engaged people at Kekoa Brew Co. today! It's fitting that “Kekoa” means "The Warrior" — the grit and dedication of folks Downriver to fight for their community is strong 💪

April is #SocialSecurityMonth, a vital resource that millions of seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities rely on every day to live their lives. I will keep working to protect and expand these hard-earned benefits from Trump and Republicans' attacks on Social Security. That's a promise.

Join me for my telephone town hall this Wednesday! I’ll be answering your questions and providing updates on my work. Tune in on my website or Facebook.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon, a twice impeached president, and America’s chief insurrectionist. His name is unfit to honor our nation’s buildings.

As the semester comes to a close at our schools across Austin, let’s celebrate every student crossing the finish line. An investment in our students is an investment in our workforce & economy. Your hard work & dedication strengthen our community. Best wishes on finals and congrats to all graduates!

My bipartisan Survivor Justice Tax Prevention Act helps ensure fair treatment of the tax law, and justice for survivors who prevail against their abusers. I can’t think of a better time to pass this than Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

257,937 Californians lost food assistance because of Trump's One Big, Ugly Bill. That means thousands of kids, seniors, and veterans can't afford to put food on the table because Republicans. As if that wasn’t bad enough, now they’re doubling down and making it permanent with their Farm Bill.

Big congrats to @xavier.edu on landing its largest federal grant ever – a huge win for expanding biomedical research opportunities for students. We pushed the Administration for this funding, and we’re excited to watch this expertise keep growing in SW Ohio.

Team Kentucky's commitment to second chances ensures fewer inmates reoffend and helps stop crimes before they happen, so no victims or families are left hurting.

BILL ALERT: I’m co-leading the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act. Data centers are often shrouded in mystery, with plans moving forward before meaningful public input.

I met with small business owners in #McMinnville that are struggling to keep their doors open because of Trump’s disastrous tariffs. I’ll keep fighting until we put a stop to these tariffs for good and deliver needed relief to the businesses and consumers who paid the high price.

You know what they say about guilty consciences…

Fantastic news that the Avs swept the Kings to make it to the next round of the NHL playoffs. This team is built to win, and I'm looking forward to seeing this incredible playoff run continue. #GoAvsGo

📢Join my staff on Tuesday, May 26 at the Hamden Miller Memorial Library for our Passport Day & Community Resource Fair. Don't miss this opportunity to renew or apply for your U.S. Passport (by appointment) & learn about local resources. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Senate just passed $70B more in funding for ICE. Students in fear are counting on our party to fight back. Not a single new dollar for ICE. Tear down the agency.

Rep. Moulton is excited to announce $3.1 million in FEMA funding to elevate Jefferys Neck Road in Ipswich! This project will prevent flooding and ensure residents in Great Neck and Little Neck stay connected to emergency services during major storms. Read more: moulton.house.gov/news/press-r...

Congratulations to all who participated in our #TX07 Congressional Art Competition, and thank you to our judges from UH, HCC, & the Houston Islamic Arts Society for selecting our finalists, whom I was glad to welcome to a reception celebrating their work Saturday.

In Philly and across the country, our schools are in disrepair— putting the health and safety of students and educators at risk and jeopardizing learning. (1/2)

Diplomacy is the only long-term solution for stopping the spread of nuclear weapons. I sat down with @reporterjoe.bsky.social with @notus.com to discuss what a new deal on Iran's nuclear program could look like. Check out the full story here:

One of the largest pesticide manufacturers in the WORLD has spent millions lobbying for passage of a pesticide liability shield & legal immunity from the impacts of glyphosate. It must be defeated.

Political violence is not the answer. Never. Spoke to Whit Johnson about my experience at the White House Correspondents Dinner. No one should have to duck under tables to avoid a shooter, not at the WHCD, or in our schools.

World Immunization Week is a reminder that we have the tools to save lives. Last year’s flu season was devastating for children, and 89% of the kids who died were unvaccinated.

3 million Americans have lost access to food stamps since Republicans passed the largest SNAP cut in history. Instead of ending hunger, the GOP's proposed Farm Bill abandons vulnerable children & families. We have the means to eradicate hunger. Republicans don’t have the will.

REMINDER: The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund DHS 31 days ago. We passed it unanimously AGAIN 25 days ago. But instead of ending the DHS shutdown and funding agencies like TSA & the Secret Service, Speaker Johnson has dragged his feet & failed to put it up for a vote.

Hardworking Americans are desperate for lower prices. You’d think President Trump’s new budget would try to answer their calls. But nope, it will only make the cost-of-living crisis even worse.

As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we’ve received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words.

Corporations are making record profits while Trump turns his back on workers and wines and dines with billionaires.   In Congress, I'll always champion workers' rights to join a union and stand together for better benefits, protections, and dignity in the workplace.

Teri's story broke my heart. She lost her husband to cancer after spraying RoundUp on their farm for 40+ years. Bayer has paid ~$10 BILLION to settle RoundUp lawsuits—and just set aside another ~$7 billion for future cases. You don't pay that kind of money because there's nothing to worry about.

Thank you to the advocates and volunteers from the American Coalition for Ukraine for meeting with me. 🧵

As 25M acres of forests are destroyed each year, I led my colleagues in urging the European Union to stand tall against Trump's bullying. Our forests serve as our planet's lungs and home to so many unique plants and animals. The EU Deforestation Regulation is critical to protect forests worldwide.

It was an honor to be recognized by the Consumer Technology Association as a 2026 Digital Patriots honoree. We must continue working in Congress to encourage innovation while putting safeguards in place to protect the public.

Families torn apart. Children snatched up and tear gassed. American citizens killed.   ICE needs actual reforms, not a rebrand.

Beautiful morning at dropoff at PS 10 in Park Slope! Great to catch up with parents about what's on top of their mind about Washington and the district. Always great to talk to New Yorkers about what’s on their mind.

The crisis of Black women's unemployment continues to grow. Fed Chair Powell must do his job and come up with a plan to confront this crisis, because this harm is coming for everyone.

Community is everything. We’re showing up for our neighbors, sustaining each other daily. A joy and a blessing to be in the trenches with you @aoc.bsky.social building a more just world. The state of our movement is strong and this conversation meant so much to everyone who came through.

Costs are high and hardworking families are struggling to afford the basics.   We have the resources we need to help folks. Clearly, the GOP has other priorities.

REMINDER: Trump has no plan for ending this war, no plan for lowering gas prices, and few left on staff who can actually help him fix it.

This funding is fantastic news for Northwest Washington ports. The Port of Everett and Swinomish Indian Tribal Community will put these dollars to good use. I will keep working to bring home federal dollars to upgrade local ports and create jobs in Northwest Washington.

Look at this. Cincinnati is the greatest city in the world. I love it so much. You can’t beat this. I like this new arena idea, too. 🙏🏻💙

Energy leaders in Houston have made clear that what they need most from government is the ability to trust the regulatory process to be consistent and fair. Losing trust and credibility as a partner—at home and abroad—is bringing real harm to the United States. It doesn't have to be this way.

Happy to report after my weekly oversight visit at 26 Fed today that detainee numbers are down & there were no courthouse arrests. An encouraging development. Our immigrant neighbors who are simply following the rules & attending their routine check-ins and hearings should not have to live in fear.

I'll have the chance to speak with Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday, and I have a lot of questions about how he plans to end this war with Iran.

Joseph Edlow, this video is for you 😇

This administration is ridiculous: how are families supposed to eat healthier, fresh foods when Trump is making groceries more expensive?!

We need effective, fully funded agencies with qualified staffers to best help the homeless population in King County. We cannot afford to lose track of $8 million in public funds. Disfunction at the top will trickle down to those receiving services, and that is something that Seattle cannot afford.

Congratulations to our talented young Washingtonians who attended this year’s Congressional Art Competition Exhibition at Hazen High School in Renton.

Choosing between food, gas, and health coverage—that’s Trump’s economy. While the Administration is focused on a war of choice, the American people have to choose which necessities to forgo. This is not normal. You deserve better.

Horrific. Antisemitism is a scourge, and an attack on any place of worship is an attack on the fundamental rights of all Americans to live peacefully.

The Trump administration cancelled major energy projects across 16 states just because they voted for Kamala Harris and not Trump. Their own lawyers even admitted they targeted blue states. I called Trump’s Energy Secretary out on it. Our states pay taxes & I won’t stand for this kind of garbage.

Proud father

Heads up IL-13 – multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will impact portions of central Illinois today 🌧️ Stay alert and be ready to shelter if a warning is issued for your area.

BREAKING: As we kick off National Apprenticeship Week, we're excited to announce for the fifth year in a row that we had record-high enrollment in our Youth Apprenticeship Program. A record 12,141 students enrolled to earn while they learn and build their careers in Wisconsin.

April is National Minority Health Month — a reminder that too many people of color still face barriers to receiving mental health care. I’m fighting to reduce stigma, expand our mental and behavioral workforce, and ensure everyone can access culturally relevant care 🫂 #MentalHealthMonday

Great to see Phoenix Coding Academy students Sean Collay and Antoni Gonzalez, who were the 2026 Congressional App Challenge winners representing our district, here in DC. I’m so impressed by their app, NaviCare, and proud of their contributions to the National Congressional App Challenge last week.

Trump’s attacks on Head Start funding are hurting families already squeezed by high grocery and gas prices. Spoke with RI Head Start about expanding access to high-quality early education so families can get ahead.

I’ve met with food banks across New Mexico countless times. They’re struggling. Shelves are emptying out. And now Republicans want to lock in cuts that kick 4 MILLION more people off SNAP with their Farm Bill this week.

Ashley and her wife run a small business, raise two kids, and work hard. And they're still being squeezed by rising costs at every turn. Healthcare. Rent. Groceries. Insurance. It never lets up.

Met with leaders at the RI Public Health Summit to discuss how we can work together to push back on Trump’s cuts harming the health of our communities. Thank you to RIPHA for focusing on solutions that build a healthier Rhode Island.

We don’t always recognize the heroes amongst us until it is too late. Orland Rivas is such a hero. Sending condolences to his family, his students and the entire Buffalo Grove community. May his memory forever be a blessing. www.dailyherald.com/20260425/new...

My dear friend Lauren has been a childhood education champion for years. It was a joy to welcome her and some awesome middle schoolers to the Capitol, and answer a few questions about our work in Washington.

Huge congrats to our Congressional App Challenge winner, Rylan Pierce. His app, Generations Connect, is building community by allowing senior citizens to hire local high school students for tasks around their homes. You make Oregon’s 4th congressional district proud!🧑‍💻

I’ve been an organic farmer for decades. I can tell you this: We DON'T need toxic chemicals like glyphosate to grow food. Rep. Massie and I have an amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill and allow states + communities to warn citizens about the dangers of glyphosate.

The DOJ is alarmingly reversing a decades-long requirement on preserving presidential records that is essential for congressional oversight and fundamental to our checks and balances.
