A nuclear energy strategy that supports true American energy independence requires a safe and well-regulated nuclear energy sector. During today’s Energy Subcommittee hearing, I focused on how the Trump Administration’s actions threaten the independence of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Republicans have once again rubber-stamped Trump's extreme, corrupt agenda—this time giving billions of dollars to out-of-control agencies and green-lighting his self-serving slush fund and gold-plated ballroom.
Statement from New Dem Leadership.
New Dems
At a time when the cost of basic necessities like rent and groceries has gotten higher and higher under the Trump Administration, the American people did not vote for this and want the fear and the violence to end.
63 years ago today, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, forbidding employers from paying men and women different wages or acquiring different benefits for the same amount of work or skills.
Despite these efforts, gender pay disparities persist, with women earning 20% less than what men earn on average for equal work. The gap is even worse for women of color.
In Congress, I’m co-sponsoring the Paycheck Fairness Act to eliminate gender-based wage discrimination and ensure equal pay.
As ICE and CBP agents continue to wreak havoc and undermine public safety, Republicans have stood by them every step of the way, giving them free reign to terrorize our immigrant communities and march through our streets detaining, injuring and killing people with zero accountability.
I urge the Administration to invest in critical public safety and community programs that actually work, not their overly aggressive mass detention and deportation campaign and political theater that come at the expense of access to health care, education and improved economic opportunity.
Watch my full remarks here:
ICYMI: In a rare moment of bipartisanship, the House passed the Faster Labor Contracts Act to accelerate contract negotiations between newly-unionized workers and management.
I voted yes because once workers unionize, they shouldn’t have to wait years for a collective bargaining agreement.
