What ICE is doing in Minnesota and across the country should terrify every single one of us. Impeaching Kristi Noem is just the start, we cannot continue to bolster this rogue agency’s budget or turn a blind eye to its policies that are completely incompatible with democracy.
I am proud to be a cosponsor of the bill introduced by @congressmanraja.bsky.social and @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social. There is no reason we should be trying to occupy or run Venezuela. Our government needs to be focused on lowering the cost of housing and healthcare, not another war abroad.
I’m introducing the NOVA Act to block any taxpayer-funded occupation of Venezuela and stop U.S. tax dollars from subsidizing oil companies there. Congress has not authorized “running” Venezuela, and American families shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.
Today, I joined @robinkelly.house.gov in introducing Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. From warrantless raids to the tragic use of force against U.S. citizens and immigrants, Noem’s reckless actions demand accountability. Congress must remove her from office immediately.
I'm proud to celebrate 113 years of Delta Sigma Theta with my fellow sorors here in Washington! Happy Founders Day @dstinc1913.bsky.social, and let us continue the lasting legacy of our founders through sisterhood, social action, and service.
I have cosponsored @robinkelly.house.gov's Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Noem. This is the minimum Congress should be doing to protect our communities—we cannot allow ICE’s reign of terror to continue.
I’m grateful for the courage and dedication of the Crew-11 astronauts as they return early from their mission on the ISS. Thank you to NASA for prioritizing their health and safety. Wishing the crew a safe journey home and a full recovery. www.npr.org/2026/01/08/n...
Kristi Noem’s reckless, militarized actions have made communities across our country more dangerous, not safer. The fatal shooting in Minneapolis and other incidents show what happens when force is prioritized over human life. Enough is enough. She must resign or be removed from office immediately.
I was proud to vote in favor of this bill with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to deliver for working families and restore the tax credits that help our communities access quality, affordable healthcare. The Senate needs to get this to the President's desk now. The American people can't wait.
House Democrats’ bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits has PASSED!  Health care costs have skyrocketed for millions of families and this legislation will help bring costs down.  This is a win for the American people.
Let me be clear: the funding levels are lower than I would've liked to see in order to fully address the needs of our communities, but they are a drastic improvement on Trump's budget request and rejects the illegal reorganization of the Department of Energy and proposed cuts to NSF and the NOAA.
It was not an easy decision, but I voted in favor of this bill which will deliver nearly $11.5 million in Community Project Funding to our district and will help avoid a shutdown that would put the benefits of hardworking Americans at risk. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...
Democrats are united. We've forced an up-or-down vote to restore the lifesaving ACA tax credits TODAY. Time for Trump and the GOP to go on the record. Join us in restoring the tax credits, or keep making life unaffordable for hardworking Americans.
Trump's deputization of local officers to perform ICE duties erodes trust in law enforcement while targeting our immigrant communities. I joined @heartlandsignal.bsky.social to discuss my PROTECT Immigration Act to end these partnerships with ICE and restore trust across our communities.
The officers who put their lives on the line on January 6 to protect our country deserve more than a plaque in remembrance, they deserve a Congress committed to upholding democracy. I joined the Congressional Black Caucus in condemning this dark day that has led to Trump's escalating extremism.
The turn of the New Year means skyrocketing health care premiums for millions of families due to the GOP's health cuts. Families shouldn't have to choose between paying for health insurance or putting food on the table—Congress needs to restore the ACA tax credits to save lives.
