The American people deserve a transparent explanation for what is going on in Iran.

Congress represents the will of the American people.

We must use every constitutional tool available to hold President Trump accountable for starting a war with Iran without Congress’s approval.

I appreciated the chance to meet with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Their work helps combat online exploitation and support families in crisis. We must continue supporting their mission and strengthening protections for children in the digital age.

Today I voted to end President Trump's war in Iran, where we will spend billions of dollars.

American families are struggling to put food on the table, they can't afford these reckless decisions.

Taxpayer dollars should protect our neighbors and uphold the rule of law, not bankroll fear, abuse, and violence in our streets.

Sadly, I have zero confidence that Markwayne Mullin will bring the accountability, sanity, or respect for the law that DHS desperately needs.

Kristi Noem is gone, but the damage done by ICE and Border Patrol’s heavy-handed tactics in our communities remains.

Americans deserve real oversight and a fundamental reset at DHS.

Dallas congresswoman pushes bill to ban surprise polling place changes After chaos in the Texas primary, Rep. Julie Johnson’s legislation would require states to notify voters at least a week before an election if their voting location changes.

I support @repjuliejohnson.bsky.social's bill. Voters deserve clarity, not confusion, when they head to the polls.

It was great to welcome Safran to my D.C. office to discuss how we’re strengthening Rochester’s role in advanced manufacturing and innovation.

These partnerships support good-paying jobs, grow our local economy, and keep our region at the forefront of cutting-edge technology.

I’ll be on CNN tomorrow morning, around 6:30 AM, talking about the ongoing fight against voter suppression and why we must keep working to protect every American’s right to vote.

Be sure to tune in.

Great to meet with SUNY Chancellor John King Jr. & President of UB Dr. Satish Tripathi to talk about strengthening higher education across New York.

Proud to work with SUNY schools that are engines of opportunity preparing students for good-paying jobs and supporting our local communities.

Our community deserves transparency and respect.

The Trump Administration's plan to install detention cells in downtown Rochester, steps from a daycare and surrounded by homes and businesses, is unacceptable.

May this festival of colors bring renewed hope, happiness, and unity to your families.

I’m reintroducing my resolution to designate March 3 as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

This fight is personal. I'm committed to advancing research, expanding access to care, and ensuring no family faces this diagnosis alone.

Chag Purim Sameach to all who are celebrating Purim in Rochester and across our country.

May this joyful holiday bring hope, unity, and the reminder that courage and faith can overcome even the darkest moments.

This Women’s History Month, we honor the trailblazers who fought for equality and the women leading our communities forward today.

From Rochester to Washington, women have shaped every chapter of our democracy.

My heart is with Austin tonight. No family should have to endure this kind of loss. We mourn the lives taken and stand with those recovering.

I am unequivocally opposed to ICE OR CBP installing detention cells in downtown Rochester.

Rochester will not be treated as a staging ground for this administration’s reckless political agenda.

Rochester's federal courthouse could double as immigrant detention center Documents show federal officials are moving quickly, planning to award the project on Friday to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

This President has a pattern of creating and escalating combustible situations and then forcing communities to deal with the fallout.

Rochester will not be treated as a staging ground for this administration’s reckless political agenda.

Here's what we know so far:

The Trump administration is moving forward in secret, with no notice, no public process, and no transparency. This is completely inappropriate and flat-out unacceptable.

Omar is a Rochester father, business owner, and neighbor.

He deserves due process. His family deserves justice. We deserve an immigration system rooted in our constitutional values. I'm standing with Omar and his family.
