Pete Hegseth is a disgrace. He deserves to be removed immediately.
House Republicans chose to protect him over our servicememebers, our national security, and our wallets.
This is not over.
This #VeteransDay, I am proud to honor my father and every veteran who has bravely served our nation.
To our veterans and military families: thank you for your sacrifice.
You deserve the security and support you were promised, and I’ll never stop working in Congress to uphold that commitment 🇺🇸

President Trump and Republican policies have robbed families who are just trying to make ends meet.
Democrats are going to stop their chaos.
From Trump’s tariffs to his war in Iran, Trump and Republicans have cost families an average of $4,700 more since he took office.
It’s clear that workers and families want a different economy, one that puts them first.
And that’s what Democrats are committed to.

No child should have to endure the horrific trauma of being detained by ICE.
No child should be held captive in cages for months at a time.
This boy must be reunited with his family, now.
An 8-year-old Haitian boy who lost Temporary Protected Status earlier this year was taken into federal custody after an immigration check-in, according to local advocates and school officials. abcnews.link/2FQ189p
Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. men report experiencing a mental health disorder, while many more may be suffering in silence.
As co-chair of the Mental Health Caucus, I am fighting to break the stigma and expand access to care for all.
Check in on the men in your life, and call or text 988 anytime. #MentalHealthMonday #Movember

Happy National First-Generation College Celebration Day!
As a first-generation college graduate myself, I know what it’s like to figure it out as you go — from filling out applications to navigating life on campus for the first time.
To every first-gen student: you are redefining what’s possible for those who follow in your footsteps, and I am proud of you!

Families should never find themselves stuck paying for a plan that no longer covers their provider or hospital.
➡️ My new bill gives patients the freedom to find a plan that meets their needs and protects them from unexpectedly losing access to care.
