The Trump administration just eliminated $6.7 million in clean energy funding for Indianapolis International Airport's award-winning solar farm. I'm fighting to get this funding back because it belongs to Indianapolis, not President Trump.

The majority party in Congress sets the voting schedule. House Republicans canceled votes for all of the entire week.

They haven't scheduled a vote since September 19.

Remember that the next time they try to blame the shutdown on Democrats.

These expiring healthcare subsidies are not going to undocumented immigrants. It's misinformation—period.

Republicans shut down our government and are refusing to save healthcare for 22 million Americans.

This is a Republican shutdown. By refusing to do their jobs, MAGA Republicans are causing health insurance premiums for Indianapolis families to increase. This is not the time for political games when lives are on the line.

Using Miami Correctional Facility to hold immigrants for ICE is wrong for Indiana. Every human deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and the right to due process. I stand with faith leaders to end this complicity.

Republicans are hiding behind a lie instead of helping them.

FACT CHECK: Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for public health insurance. Democrats are not advocating to make them eligible.

We ARE advocating for 22 million Americans to keep their affordable insurance—cancer patients. Disabled children.

The House floor today. On the Democratic side, seats are filled. On the Republican side – empty.

Government funding expires at midnight. Republicans didn’t even show up to work.

A government shutdown is likely happening tonight. But Republicans aren't even in DC to negotiate. Democrats have one request: don't take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

In June, police officers who bravely defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, filed a lawsuit.

Why? Congress passed a law directing the permanent display of a plaque honoring the police heroes who were injured or died as a result of Jan. 6 – but House Republicans refused to comply.

Donald Trump and Republicans are refusing to even meet with Democrats to prevent a government shutdown.

Democrats are ready to find a solution that keeps government open and lowers healthcare costs. The ball is in Republicans’ court.

Yesterday, 92 Hoosiers took their oath of citizenship at the Indiana State Museum.

America is built by immigrants. I’ll keep fighting to create more pathways to citizenship for those who have lived, worked, and given to this country.

We are all stronger for it.

8 days until a government shutdown.

We've been here before — House Republicans running out the clock because they can’t unify their own party.

But Democrats are united: no cuts to healthcare. No cuts to SNAP. No more tax dollars to illegal ICE arrests.

The U.S. has lost manufacturing jobs in each of the 4 months since Trump announced his taxes on everything we import.

It’s more important than ever that we pass a government funding bill that keeps the government open and protects working Americans.

For the first time in 4 years, unemployed workers outnumber available jobs.

The U.S. economy actually lost 13,000 jobs in June, the first negative jobs month in nearly 5 years.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the culture, history, and contributions of the Hispanic community.
At a time when too many try to divide us with fear and hate, we choose to celebrate the diversity that strengthens our nation.

My office received a death threat today—unfortunately, a common occurrence. Political violence has been normalized for quite some time, and it must end.
