For weeks, House and Senate Democrats called on Republicans to end the chaos of their partial government shutdown by passing a bill to fund DHS, with the exception of ICE and CBP. Early this morning, the Senate finally did so unanimously. I stood ready to vote for that bill.
Since then, employees at TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and cybersecurity professionals have worked unpaid while a nearly $200 billion slush fund in the Big Ugly Law has enabled ICE and CBP to continue their aggressive mass deportation campaign.
On Valentine’s Day, Congressional Republicans let DHS funding lapse rather than adopt reforms to protect constitutional rights and address the crisis created by ICE and CBP agents that led to the deaths of Ruben Ray Martinez, Renee Good, Alex Pretti and at least 40 people within their custody.
Tonight, House Republicans have chosen to force TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and more to continue working without pay because they won’t address ICE and CBP’s campaign of terror. Until we can hold them accountable, I won’t vote to give another cent to ICE and CBP. Here’s why 🧵
30 years ago, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 opened the door to a digital revolution and intermodal competition. As we grapple with issues of universal connectivity and affordability, I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social Democrats to discuss the importance of modernizing the Telecoms Act.
Today is #EqualPayDay, marking how far into 2026 women have to work to earn what men did in 2025. For moms, women of color and women with disabilities, this day falls even further into the year. Women working full-time, year-round earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn.
For over a month, the Department of Homeland Security has been subject to a partial government shutdown. During the March recess, I visited TSA workers at Richmond International Airport to discuss how this shutdown impacts them.   Read more about what you may have missed in my newsletter below ⬇️
Rather than deliver on his campaign promises, Trump prioritizes vanity projects and his mass deportation-detention agenda over the American people. I opposed the Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act as another distraction from this Administration.
My bill with Rep. Dunn to reauthorize and strengthen the FirstNet emergency communications network just advanced out of full committee unanimously! It now heads to the House floor for a vote. The bill will ensure first responders have the tools they need to communicate in a crisis and save lives.
This #WomensHistoryMonth gives us a chance to look back on the achievements made by Black women. In a time of intense backlash from the Trump Administration, I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour to talk about our history: the progress we’ve made, and the work that remains.
This week, my sorors from across the country came to Washington for the 37th Annual Delta Days in the Nation’s Capital to hear from the nine members in Congress and advocate on policies that impact our communities. #DDNC2026 #OneDeltaOneMission 🔺
In March 1913, in their first public act, the founders of Delta Sigma Theta came D.C. to march for the right to vote, even though they were told to march in the back and many had to wait until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to actually exercise the right to vote granted in the 19th Amendment.

The EPA addresses air pollution, protects public health and combata the climate crisis. The Trump Administration wants to undermine that progress. I led a letter with @reppaultonko.bsky.social and 109 members to urge the Appropriations Committee to ensure EPA can carry out its critical mission.

With no long-term strategy in sight, Americans will keep footing the bill for the President’s war with Iran. Rising costs will follow all of us to the grocery store, the airport and into the price of everything that moves by truck, train, plane or tractor.
