Social Security is a promise millions of Americans have earned through a lifetime of work.
It is more important than ever for Congress to take action. I'll keep fighting to protect Social Security and strengthen the security families depend on.

Under the Trump Administration we've lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs and unemployment continues to rise.
These are the facts, despite what Trump likes to believe. Americans deserve better.

While Republicans continue cutting education, I'm fighting to protect @IESResearch and other initiatives that help students and teachers thrive.
At a time when AI and new technologies are reshaping education, we should be investing in progress, not cutting it.

President Trump promised to end wars, not start them.
His lies dragged our country into an illegal war in Iran, where we have spent billions of dollars that could have been used to help hard working American families.

Time and again, the U.S. Supreme Court has sided with special interests and corporations over the American people. Unacceptable.
My Anti-Corruption & Democracy Reform Task Force has been hard at work with people like Marge from @peoplefor finding new ways to restore sanity to our federal courts.

Republicans want to impose new work requirements on health care while cutting the programs that help people find jobs.
That's not fiscal responsibility. It's cruelty. @AppropsDems are fighting back.

Samantha with @reproforall is right: without meaningful Supreme Court reform, we cannot restore Americans' reproductive freedom.
My Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force is exploring every option to reign in this rogue court and preserve Americans' fundamental rights.

Earlier this year, DHS began constructing a detention facility in Rochester without notifying local officials or meaningfully engaging the public.
The facility is being built in the same federal building as a daycare center.
Regardless of where you stand on immigration policy, our community deserves answers and a seat at the table.

The Congressional Baseball Game is a great tradition which brings members together in support of causes that make a difference.
While I'm not playing this year, I'll be rooting on my colleagues and celebrating the spirit of bipartisanship that makes this event so special.
Play ball!

This is exactly why we need strong guardrails around AI in our elections.
Using artificial intelligence to fabricate a candidate’s voice or likeness is deceptive, dangerous, and designed to confuse voters. I stand with Rep. Balint and others who are targeted by these tactics. Voters deserve transparency, accountability, and the truth.
That’s why I authored the AI Transparency in Elections Act: to require clear disclaimers when political ads use AI-generated images, audio, or video.

A political opponent recently posted a deepfake video of me on social media. It was generated using AI and fabricated my voice and image to put words in my mouth. While it represents a new - and dangerous - low, it was not unpredictable.
It just drives home why we need to act now to give people protections against unauthorized AI replicas of their name and likeness. Let’s start by passing my NO FAKES Act.
ALT NEWS: Rep. Becca Balint Responds to Deepfake Video Published on Social Media, Calls for Legislative Action Swipe for Rep. Balint’s statement on the matter and info on the NO FAKES Act, her legislation that would confront this issue head-on.
ALT Rep. Balint Statement on Deepfake Video “This ad is offensive and a dangerous example of what happens when AI is used to deceive voters. Fabricating my voice and image to put words in my mouth is a new low. Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy, but impersonation and deception are not. This was also predictable and exactly why I introduced the NO FAKES Act—to give people protections against unauthorized AI replicas of their voice and likeness and bring greater transparency and accountability to AI-generated content.”
ALT The NO FAKES Act Protects YOUR voice and visual likeness Addresses the threat of digital replicas created without YOUR consent through AI Empowers YOU to take action against bad actors who create, distribute, or profit from unauthorized digital replicas Defends artists, creators, and anyone who uses the internet

63 years after the Equal Pay Act became law, the promise of equal pay for equal work remains unfinished.
Too many women, especially women of color, still earn less on average than their male counterparts. We owe it to every worker to close the wage gap and build an economy where hard work is valued fairly and equally.

The cost-of-living crisis is real, and working families are paying the price.
That's why my @AppropsDems colleagues and I are fighting back against Republican proposals to cut health care and make life even more expensive. Americans deserve lower costs and greater opportunity.

Today, @AppropsDems are marking up the Homeland Security funding bill.
We're fighting to hold ICE and CBP accountable by requiring judicial warrants, respecting civil rights, and operating with full transparency.

The Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force met with groups like @BrennanCenter today to discuss reforms for a Supreme Court that too often appears more responsive to special interests and billionaires than to the American people.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans promised to lower costs for working families. Instead, they’ve passed a bill that cuts healthcare, threatens food assistance, and makes life harder for families—all to bankroll ICE’s mass deportation agenda and hand out more tax breaks to the wealthy.

This bill is a betrayal of the promises Republicans made to the American people. Taxpayer dollars should be used to help families afford groceries, housing, childcare, and healthcare—not to fund cruelty, sow fear, and make life more expensive for working people.

I voted no, and I will continue fighting for policies that lower costs, protect families, and uphold the dignity of every person in our community.
