Today, the House plans to vote on the War Powers Resolution for the fourth time this year. How many times will it take for House Republicans to quit rubber-stamping Trump’s war in Iran and stand with the American people?
My SAFE Exit Act passed the @energycommerce.bsky.social Committee. 👏🏾 This is a major step toward establishing the first federal safety standard for electric car doors. No one should be trapped in a car after a crash or if it loses power. I urge the House to move this forward without delay.
Trump’s tariffs and war is making life harder for working families. Instead of lowering costs, protecting healthcare, or forgiving student debt, he created a fund for January 6 insurrectionists. Shows you what is important to him.
Yesterday, I joined @cbc.house.gov & NAACP to call out SEC colleges who profit off Black talent and Black labor—yet remain silent as Black representation is attacked. Do not underestimate our power. This moment requires everyone to stand on the right side of history.
Responsible gun ownership starts with safe storage. It’s a commonsense way to protect our children and prevent avoidable tragedies. We can save 8 kids everyday through safe storage. While the Trump administration ignores gun violence, I’m fighting for laws that keep our kids safe.
Every child deserves a safe, affirming environment to learn and grow. Republicans’ extreme bill puts trans youth in harm's way and censors content that acknowledges trans peoples’ existence. I will always stand up for student safety, and I am voting NO.
Former Congressman Barney Frank never backed down from a fight. He took on Wall Street's greed to protect everyday Americans and was a fierce advocate for civil rights and LGBTQ+ equality, impacting generations. Rest in Power.
Congratulations to the graduates of South Suburban College! I was honored to speak at your commencement. Our democracy cannot afford for you to sit on the sidelines. We need a new generation of leaders to speak out, bring fresh perspectives, and set the agenda to build a brighter future.
Places of worship should be safe, but yesterday, three people were shot and killed at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Islamophobia has no place here or anywhere. We must loudly condemn all forms of hatred and take urgent action to end gun violence.
Our kids can’t learn if they’re hungry. I introduced a bill to support Food is Medicine legislation because healthy food is a right, not a luxury. We can improve health outcomes and lower costs for families by simply investing in better nutrition.
WE ARE NOT GOING BACK✊🏾. I was in Montgomery this weekend with @cbc.house.gov and my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to say NO to Jim Crow Maps. Black voices will be heard loud and clear—in Congress, in statehouses, and across the country.
Since 1965, Head Start has helped millions of children reach their full potential. In our community, these programs give every child a foundation for life. I’ll always support investments that help our families thrive.
For nearly a decade, @mmhalliance.bsky.social has advocated for maternal mental health programs and secured over $120 million toward their mission.   Thank you for your work and your partnership to provide mental healthcare for moms.
Linda Brown’s courage changed history, but the fight for equity continues. We cannot honor the legacy of Brown v. Board while the Trump administration tries to dismantle the Dept. of Education. We must move past rhetoric and finally fund every public school.
Every person deserves to live authentically and safely. I’m working with the @equality.house.gov to protect the rights of our global LGBTQI+ neighbors against a wave of hateful legislation. We honor this day by committing to a future where everyone is safe.
I’m in Montgomery to make GOOD TROUBLE ✊🏾 Right now, our voting rights are being threatened. It’s up to all of us to protect our democracy and ensure Black voices are heard all across the country.
This week my @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social colleagues hosted the first oversight hearings in Palm Beach County regarding the Epstein Files. It is past time for the files to be fully released & for every single named perpetrator out there to be held accountable.
Whether it's a student doing homework in Pembroke or a senior in Chicago using telehealth, everyone deserves a fair shot in the digital age. I proudly introduced legislation with @durbin.senate.gov to increase access to broadband services for urban and rural Americans.
This week the SouthCom Coalition visited me in my DC office.    It was great hearing from the mayors of Park Forest, Richton Park, and Matteson to hear about our shared priorities, including economic development, water infrastructure, and public safety.
