Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025OPPOSE

“Generations of Americans fought and bled for civil rights, to make the United States of America a place where everyone's voice can be heard, regardless of the color of their skin. However, in the last few weeks, at the urging of the President, the Supreme Court effectively overturned section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which had been the law of the land for decades. Since then, Republican Governors and State legislators across the South have been racing to break up majority Black and Hispanic congressional districts.”

Great Lakes Fishery Research Reauthorization ActOPPOSE

“We continue to have an economy that is working great for the very rich but not for the average working person in my district or anywhere across the country. In the first quarter of this year, average wages rose by 0.8 percent. Corporate profits rose by 2.7 percent. This is not a sustainable trend. We have two economies in this country. You are doing great if you are a billionaire partying at Mar- a-Lago or a hedge fund manager. But for the average working person, this does not work. What did this Congress do last year?”

“Today this Congress just voted to cut the WIC program that provides nutrition to pregnant women and children by over $200 million. Many of the same members who voted to cut funding for pregnant women and children to be able to afford food are also actively supporting giving $1 billion to the President for his ballroom, $1.8 billion, to reward cop-beaters and white-collar criminals as part of the President's slush funds, and $1 billion a day on an unnecessary war in the Middle East.”

“My whole life, politicians have been sending other people's kids to fight and die in unnecessary wars in the Middle East, and we are no better off for it. In the 6 months since the unnecessary war in Iran began, over a dozen U.S. servicemembers have lost their lives. Countless civilians have been killed, including over 100 children bombed in their school. Tens of billions of tax dollars have been wasted, and gas prices are through the roof. What do we have to show for it? Iran still controls the strait.”

“Last year, 88 of the most profitable companies in America paid zero in Federal income taxes. The wealthy and well-connected get tax breaks, and average people get stuck with the bill. Until we have real ethics reform in Washington, the wealthy and well-connected are going to continue to get tax breaks while working people get screwed.”
