Electric vehicles are the future. They also require thousands of microchips per single vehicle. America is making semiconductors again, not just to strengthen our supply chains. But to ensure the clean energy economy is made right here at home.

The U.S. Postal Service just announced that my friend and predecessor Congressman John Lewis will be honored on a new postage stamp next year! Let it always remind us to get in the #GoodTrouble that Congressman Lewis taught us.

I just want to make a few things clear: The Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure. And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity.

We applaud Secretary Austin for this decisive action to protect servicemembers’ access to reproductive health care. This new guidance is life-changing and lifesaving!

1/ The SCOTUS ruling on reproductive health has real readiness, recruiting, & retention implications for the Force. We've heard concerns from many of our people about the uncertainty they now face in accessing reproductive health care, including abortion services.

Delphi salaried retirees worked hard, played by the rules and did nothing wrong. They deserve to have their pensions restored. 218 Democrats and 36 Republicans came together in the House to right this wrong. The Senate must act now too!

Today, Senate Republicans blocked thousands of Ohioans from receiving the retirement benefits they earned. It’s past time we restore pensions for Delphi Retirees. I won’t stop fighting for these Ohio workers.
