As a mother who faced adoption challenges decades ago, I can’t allow Sec. Azar to turn away prospective parents on the basis of an agency’s religious litmus test. LGBT Caucus Co-Chair’s @RepSeanMaloney and @RepKatieHill and I sent a letter urging him to reconsider his decision. https://t.co/5IgNUVWeNU

Shock doesn’t begin to cover it. Today I left a hearing on homelessness & saw tons of people camped outside committee. I turned to my staff and asked if it was a demonstration. “No,” they said. “Lobbyists pay the homeless + others to hold their place so they can get in 1st.” https://t.co/mXbgqkKp4P

@RWPUSA Prosecutors have a lot of discretion. If they use that discretion to push petty drug cases to trial to rack up wins and advance their career, that is part of their character and public record. Not saying that’s what they did but it’s fair to examine.

Today, I joined my colleagues @RepJohnLarson, @PeterWelch, @RepBrianHiggins, @SenatorBaldwin, and @Stabenow in announcing our #MedicareBuyIn bill that would give Americans between the ages of 50-64 the option of buying into #Medicare. https://t.co/SlXT1Em5I1 https://t.co/Wg7zy4qu8G

#Medicare is a popular and cost-effective program that works, and expanding access will save money for Americans approaching retirement without adding to the deficit. It’s high time to move forward with pragmatic solutions to the problems still facing our healthcare system.

The @EnergyCommerce Subcommittee on Comms & Tech held a hearing on the T-Mobile/Sprint merger today.
