It's Banned Book Week. I'll always stand up for freedom—and that means fighting back against boneheaded efforts to ban books, like at my alma mater the U.S. Naval Academy earlier this year.

Congressman Chris Deluzio @deluzio.house.gov · Apr 29

If we're gonna trust the adult Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy to lead Marines and Sailors in harm's way, we can trust them to read books. It's indefensible to ban books from the library there—my alma mater—especially when you're hiding writings by Maya Angelou, but not Adolf Hitler.

Federal workers like Air Traffic Controllers, TSA agents, and more will get a smaller paycheck because Congressional Republicans refuse to do anything to lower healthcare costs and re-open the government.

Healthcare costs are already too high and it's about to get way worse.

Congressional Republicans should join with Democrats and work to do something about it.

Yesterday I stood in solidarity with @teamsters.bsky.social Local Union 30’s unionized nurses to save the New Kensington Express and Primacy Care from closing. Our region needs more healthcare options, not fewer.

Another reason Republican politicians need to re-open the government: we should get the folks shining light on corruption back to work.

Speaker Johnson canceled House votes this week and last.

Republicans are afraid to have members in Washington—God forbid we get something done to reopen the government or get the last signature we need on a bill to release the Epstein files.

Trump's threat to deploy our active duty troops to U.S. cities in a "war" against our citizens is un-American and dangerous.

We need to rein in Presidential power, and my bill to reform the Insurrection Act of 1807 does just that.

@ibewinternational.bsky.social International President: "By canceling projects and locking out IBEW members in the private and public sector, the President is sending a message that their paychecks, their families, and their communities do not matter."

When D.C. Republicans funnel tax giveaways to billionaires but turn around to cut healthcare and kill construction jobs, it’s clear who they’re for and who they’re against.

Every chance they get, Republican politicians are waging class warfare on hardworking Americans.

If our troops and other federal workers aren't getting paid during the shutdown, neither should Members of Congress.

Until we pass a law to fix this, I'll be refusing my pay while the government is shut down.

Healthcare is already breaking the bank for a lot of people. It's about to get way worse. I'm ready to get to work to end the shutdown, end the B.S. politics, and fix this.
