Trump just requested a $1.5 TRILLION military budget. Last year, he cut $1 trillion from your health care—the largest cut in American history. But magically found $1.5 TRILLION for death and destruction. This is deranged.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive today. But an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston during a traffic stop arrest. ICE has repeatedly lied about killing people in cold blood. His family deserves the truth, and our entire country needs ICE to be abolished.

My residents don't need swag bags. We need our spoiled medicine and groceries paid for, and Congress to pass my Make DTE Pay Act now.

I joined @RepBeatty and 25 colleagues in calling for a new issuance of Special Drawing Rights: a simple measure to help stabilize the global economy, save lives, and create jobs for American workers in the process — all without costing the US a dime.

Today marks 1,000 days since the start of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. To this day, Palestinians continue to be massacred by this apartheid regime with the full backing of our government. We need a full arms embargo now and to bring perpetrators to justice. Free Palestine.

In the 1,000 days since October 7, 2023, Israel's genocide has left Gaza in ruins, the Board of Peace falters, and Israel expands control of the besieged enclave, while continuing to violate the "ceasefire" in almost daily attacks. Here's what we know⤵️aje.news/9tugjj

Our families are hurting. Congress must pass the Stop Price Gouging in Grocery Stores Act. “Two-thirds say they are struggling today and need relief they can feel right away. And the most cited concern is grocery costs."

Trump’s corrupt Supreme Court majority’s latest ruling isn’t about protecting women or girls—it’s about erasing trans lives and legalizing discrimination. To my trans neighbors, know that we will continue fighting for your right to be seen and heard. You are not alone.

The Black maternal health crisis didn't happen by accident. It's the result of policy choices, systemic racism, and decades of neglect. This week, the Congressional Mamas' Caucus hosted a shadow hearing to honor the lives behind the statistics and demand action.

Working people keep our country running. No one should have to work more than one job to survive in the richest country in the world. Every single worker in our country deserves dignity and a livable wage. It is time for Congress to raise the minimum wage to $25/hr.

Trump always finds the money for endless war, and his fascist ICE army, but never for healthcare in our communities. Since Republicans passed his Big Ugly Bill, over 8 million people have lost healthcare coverage. It's a disgrace. Our communities deserve to come first.

I joined the National Fair Housing Alliance to affirm a truth we all hold; access to safe, affordable housing is a human right. I stand with the advocates that are continuing to push for housing for all. Trump must sign the Housing Our Communities Act into law now.

Today, a record 187 Members of Congress joined me and @repdeliaramirez to vote to end U.S. support for the Israeli government's ethnic cleansing campaign in Lebanon. Our anti-war movement is growing—keep speaking out. We must keep fighting to save lives.

Growing up in Southwest Detroit in a multi-ethnic community centered on love and family taught me that our diversity is our strength. This Immigrant Heritage Month we uplift the stories of so many families, like mine, whose contributions have helped shape our country.
