The gun violence epidemic continues to shatter families and communities nationwide. Americans deserve to be able to study, worship, and come together without fear. As we mark National Gun Violence Awareness Month, we recommit to tackling this crisis with the urgency it deserves before more lives are lost.

Congressman Bill Foster retweeted
You thought it was bad now? Oil executives just warned it's about to get worse. That's the reality when you have a president who's out of control and a Republican party too afraid to hold him accountable.

NEWS: Inflation has hit its highest level in 3 years, driven largely by Trump's tariffs and war in Iran. @HouseDemocrats have repeatedly tried to roll back these tariffs and rein in this war, but Republicans have enabled Trump every step of the way.
BREAKING: Inflation jumps to 4.2%, the highest level since early 2023, keeping consumers under pressure as war with Iran keeps gas prices high. nbcnews.com/business/energy/…

Trump lied, started a war with Iran, and now Americans are paying the price.
Trump says he never promised ‘no new wars’ dlvr.it/TSwQzB
Community note
Trump promised no new wars in his 2024 campaign, including "I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars" in his victory speech and "I will not send you to fight and die in stupid foreign wars that never end" in Pennsylvania. presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/rema… nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

AI is leveling the playing field for dangerous technical knowledge, like how to misuse commercially available synthetic DNA and RNA to create bioweapons. 🧵

More than two years ago, I sounded the alarm on this with @RepBrownley in a bipartisan letter calling for stronger biosecurity guardrails. Since then, the Trump Administration rescinded the Biden-era screening framework and has failed to put new protections in place.

Tonight, the House passed a bill to provide our allies in Ukraine with long-awaited aid. Russia's invasion continues, but so does our support for Ukraine and their freedom fighters. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

The risk of Iran secretly developing a nuclear weapon has INCREASED since the U.S. attacked Iran. Trump and Netanyahu have made the world a much more dangerous place.

Trump and Commerce Secretary @howardlutnick may have allowed hundreds of thousands of advanced American AI chips to be used by China over the past year and a half. I hope to see them do more than close a loophole to correct their negligence, but the damage is already done. Congress must pass my Chip Security Act to prevent China from further benefiting from American AI chips and undermining our technological advantages.
The US ‌Department of Commerce moved to close a potential loophole that may have led companies to export the world's most advanced chips — like Nvidia's most sophisticated Blackwell processors — to subsidiaries of Chinese companies located outside China reut.rs/4dX9pDA
