SCOTUS has undermined the health of the trans community in Idaho by allowing the state's ban on medically-necessary care for trans youth to be enforced.

Politicians shouldn’t get to say what healthcare is best for trans youth—or any patient.

I introduced the Veteran Service Recognition Act with several of my colleagues to provide an opportunity for noncitizen members to obtain legal permanent resident status if they desire. It's time for Congress to uphold our promise to all of our veterans. militarytimes.com/news/your-mili…

Iran’s attack on Israel is unacceptable and endangers the safety and stability of the entire region. All parties must take tangible steps to lower the temperature to protect all civilians caught in the crossfire.

With developments in AI, we must ensure this tech complements human work. We must consider my 32-Hour Workweek Act.

LGBTQ+ students deserve to learn, play, and grow in school without the fear of bulling from their peers or politicians. On the annual Day of No Silence, I'm proud to introduce this resolution calling on us to prioritize the safety of LGBTQ+ students. takano.house.gov/newsroom/press…

Honored to attend tonight’s state dinner celebrating Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s visit to Washington. It is a testament to the strength of the US-Japan alliance and a reminder of how much we can accomplish by working together.

Democrats aren’t scared of Big Pharma— we take it on. That means $35/month caps on insulin and the ability for Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

President Biden and House Democrats want to cancel student debt. Republicans have done everything they can to stop us. Agendas matter.

A record 400,000 veterans have enrolled in VA healthcare this past year thanks to provisions found in my PACT Act. Every veteran deserves better health outcomes while paying less than non-VA care. news.va.gov/press-room/va-…
