It’s taking Black women even longer to earn as much as white men as the wage gap has widened for the first time since the 1960s. We must address the racist, sexist policies that cause structural economic inequality in America so Black women are paid what they’ve earned. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

Instead of lowering costs, Republicans are spending BILLIONS on political stunts and protecting their financial interests. Their claim that we can’t afford to meet people’s basic needs tells you what their priorities are. I voted HELL NO to 3 bad bills that would hurt Americans:

Join me and Tatyana Ali this Wednesday at 3pm ET / 12pm PT for a conversation about maternal health and my bill -- the Traumatic Births Research Act. During Black Maternal Mental Health Week, conversations like this are imperative in order to improve maternal health outcomes.

While millions of children go hungry, Republicans are giving the richest 1% over $1 trillion in tax cuts and Trump is pocketing $2.2 billion for himself and his family. Trump & Republicans are working for themselves and their billionaire donors— not you. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Black mothers experience postpartum depression nearly twice as much as white mothers, reflecting disparities driven by gaps in health care access. During Black Maternal Mental Health Week, we must raise awareness of the issues they face and policy solutions to address them.

Health care is a human right, and that includes HIV prevention. Today, as we commemorate National HIV Prevention Day, I’m calling on all of us to do the right thing and build a future where everyone has access to the tools that make prevention possible.

Thanks to GOP budgets, more than 8 million Americans lost health care coverage & another 4 million lost access to food assistance. Now, they want to loot your children's futures to fund brutally inhumane ICE operations that terrorize our communities. How much wasted taxpayer money will be enough?

My heart breaks for trans kids and their families. Today’s SCOTUS decision comes just one year after they upheld a ban gender-affirming care and is just the most recent attack by conservatives against the queer community. A person’s gender should not bar their participation in activities they love.

Trump has sought to make America welcome only to those that look like or support him. Birthright citizenship has been settled law for 125 years. He can't change that with a simple executive order. Today’s SCOTUS ruling is clear: if you're born in the USA, you're a citizen. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

The President is holding hostage the largest bipartisan housing bill in a generation to force Congress to pass his unpopular plan to restrict voting rights. Trump is the single greatest impediment to American progress. He doesn't care about making life affordable for people.

I sent a letter to Secretary Mullin and USCIS Director Edlow demanding to know why they delayed processing DACA work authorizations. The delays tripled typical response times by USCIS, risking the livelihoods and legal status of thousands of Dreamers and eroding the communities in which they live.

I’m walking into court to fight for your rights. Trump wants to lock me up for 17 years for doing my job, conducting oversight of ICE and holding this administration accountable. The fight is hard, but if DHS wants to terrorize NJ-10, they’re going to have to answer to me first.

Trump pitched his UFC fight as a 250th anniversary celebration, but it looked more like a tacky birthday party for a wannabe king. Taxpayers covered more than $10 million in security & logistics while the event doubled as a showcase for his political & business networks. Corruption in plain sight.

ICE is not the private army of any president or administration. They are federal law enforcement meant to work for and be accountable to the American people. Nothing should be happening inside an ICE facility that would require secrecy or concealment from the American people.

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.
