A prolific writer, an impassioned speaker, and an unparalleled champion for feminism — Gloria Steinem devoted her life to advancing women’s equality, in her words and actions.

In her unrelenting work — from Ms. Magazine to NOW to the ERA and more — she helped reshape society, always centering girls’ and women’s rights to choose their own path, their own future.

I had the great privilege of campaigning alongside Ms. Steinem a decade ago, and I will keep those memories with me. May her memory be a blessing.💜

Yesterday, I spoke with my colleagues on the House floor about a grim milestone: 35 people died in ICE custody last year — the deadliest in two decades.

We urge the administration to meet its legal obligations, provide adequate care, and end its inhumane practices before more lives are lost.

Whether in-person or by mail, your right to vote is sacred.

I am disturbed by this whistleblower report out of USPS.

Trump’s effort to rush new digital mail ballot rules is a blatant attempt to sow chaos ahead of the midterms that jeopardizes millions of votes.

With service members at risk, families strained by rising costs, and allies looking the other way — the President still has no plan.

CARE is dedicated to ending poverty worldwide, with an acute focus on the rights of women and girls.

Grateful to meet with their team to discuss the critical time we are in — as this Administration slashes foreign aid while conducting a reckless war with Iran.

We must remain committed to America's indispensable global leadership.

Always a joy to be back on a college campus — and I was especially eager to visit Kutztown University!

Our office supported funding for two KU projects: preserving the Sharadin Farmstead that exemplifies our Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and expanding the Engineering & Robotics Lab for manufacturing workforce training.

Thank you for the tour — and best of luck this school year! 🐻💛

Our right to vote is secure — nothing has changed about how you’ll cast your ballot in November.

Trump, once again, is sowing chaos and confusion for voters.

We're pushing back against these orders to ensure that right remains protected.

Saddened to hear of the passing of the legend Dolly Parton.

She was a model for talent, a tenacious work ethic, poise, and singular style. A true American story.

Dolly’s music and acting reached across generations — and her boundless generosity, especially her dedication to childhood literacy, touched the lives of millions.

My prayers are with her family. May we all learn from her humility seasoned with humor — and her deep love for humanity. 🤍

A moving experience at Philadelphia’s City Hall to join our Ukrainian-American community in celebrating 35 years of Ukrainian Independence.

Moments like this — raising the flag of a resilient nation fighting for its sovereignty against a brutal, illegal invasion — remind us of our critical role in preserving democracy worldwide.

Slava Ukraini!
