Everyone deserves affordable healthcare, lower grocery prices, and economic stability. Instead, Republicans are pushing a budget that funds cruelty over community. Our tax dollars should make life more affordable, not fund chaos and line Trump’s pockets.
Every single day, over 125 families are shattered by gun violence. This is a life or death public health crisis. We know the solutions to gun violence, but Republicans would rather bend to the gun lobby and reverse our progress. Our children deserve to grow up safe.
You belong. I’m incredibly grateful to @pflag.org this Pride Month. They show up with the love and support so many need right now. To every LGBTQ+ individual and ally reading this: you are loved, you are valued, and you have a place here.
Americans spend $1 trillion a year treating diet-related diseases. Many of our neighbors live closer to a fast-food chain than a grocery store. My FOOD for Health Act expands access to fresh food through produce prescriptions and local farms to bring healthy options to everyone.
Birth control gives women autonomy over their bodies, lives and futures. Every person deserves the freedom to decide if, when, and how to build a family. Those private health decisions must stay between patients and their doctors.
While the president builds a ballroom to protect himself and his billionaire donors, 125 Americans are shot and killed every single day. I’ve sat on the House floor to demand action for 26 hours, and I’m ready to make Good Trouble again. Empty thoughts and prayers won't save lives.
Gun violence is the #1 killer of children in America. That is the only "why" I need to keep fighting like hell in Congress. I’m treating gun violence with the urgency it requires until every single one of our kids lives free from the fear of gun violence.
There’s only a few miles from the South Side to the North Side—but it’s separated by a 30 year life expectancy age gap. This $1 billion investment will help reduce health disparities and make critical care more accessible..
Every day, more than 120 people in America are killed by guns, and hundreds more are wounded. This violence touches every corner of our country and leaves a trail of trauma in its wake. This June, we #WearOrange to honor every life stolen and demand a future free from fear.
I don’t accept excuses, and neither should you. If Republicans wanted to lower costs, they would act. They choose not to while families face rising rent, groceries, and healthcare bills. Their inaction has consequences.
I have seen how ICE traumatizes our communities because Republicans refuse to rein them in. In the early hours of the morning, Senate Republicans pushed through another $70 billion for ICE and CBP. I won’t support giving DHS more funds while their power remains unchecked.
I'm wearing orange today for Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed in a Chicago park. My friend @mcbath.house.gov wears orange for her son Jordan, who was killed for playing loud music. 🧡 Together, we fight for the ones who should still be with us today.
When a gun is present in a domestic violence situation, the risk of homicide increases by 500 percent. Protecting our families means keeping guns away from abusive partners. I’m fighting for commonsense gun reform to save lives.
Tomorrow, we wear orange in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and gun violence victims on National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Gun violence is preventable, not an unavoidable fact of life. Wear orange and speak out to end gun violence. #WearOrange
Trump’s relentless attacks on Black voting rights are a threat to our democracy. I am proud to stand with the @cbc.house.gov and the NAACP because fair representation is a right, not a choice. I’m going to keep fighting like hell to protect our power and our voice.
4.6 million children live in a home with an unsecured gun, drastically increasing the chance of unintentionally shooting themselves or someone else. These tragedies are preventable. Congress needs to pass my safe storage law to protect our kids and keep our homes safe.
Trump’s war with Iran shows he’s ignoring the pain millions of Americans feel. Instead of lowering costs or fixing healthcare, he is dragging out a conflict that imperils our economic stability at home. It’s gross negligence, plain and simple.
The Party of Grift is stealing food off the table of hungry families and attacking our healthcare, leaving millions of hardworking Americans behind. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are fighting like hell to lower healthcare costs and restore dignified access to food.
In 2020, Gun violence became the leading cause of death for children and teens in the US. It’s been the leading cause of death for Black kids since 2006. Every single day, a gun kills 12 of our children. We cannot look away while this public health crisis is stealing our future.
