This reinstatement didn’t come from goodwill. It came from community pressure, worker organizing & legal action. We drew a line around our people and said: NO. You don’t get to gut the very agency that protects worker health without a fight. npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-…

Birthright citizenship isn’t some loophole. It’s a constitutional right, no matter how hard Trump and Republicans try to push their racist agenda. The Supreme Court must uphold the law of the land.

Calling reparations ā€˜complaints about the past’ is not just ahistorical — it ignores the government-sanctioned injustices that persist today. Black America is owed repair, restitution, and justice.

Today I stand with Eelam Tamils worldwide in remembering the victims of Sri Lanka’s state-sanctioned genocide. 16 years later, justice is still denied. The U.S. and global community must recognize this atrocity, support Tamil self-determination, and hold perpetrators

These antisemitic flyers in Squirrel Hill are cowardly, despicable, and have no place in our neighborhoods. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.

Republicans are pushing a reconciliation package this week that will slash healthcare, food assistance, and so many vital programs—all while giving tax breaks to billionaires. ā€œAmerica firstā€ but only for certain Americans. Did I get that right?

First a judge, now a Member of Congress. This administration is trying to intimidate our branches of government to circumvent checks and balances. Rep. LaMonica McIver was exercising her lawful duty to conduct Congressional oversight. I stand with her.

Nearly 14 million people nationwide could lose healthcare if this reconciliation package passes. It would take just 3 Republicans to block it. Will any of them have the courage to stand up for their constituents or are they still more accountable to corporate profiteers?

Trump keeps calling this reconciliation package ā€œone big, beautiful bill.ā€ What’s beautiful about a bill that forces families to choose between taking their kids to the doctor or feeding them?

Rep. Connolly was a dedicated public servant who worked hard to deliver for his district and country. My heartfelt condolences to his family, team, and constituents.

Israel is deliberately starving millions in Gaza, blocking food, baby formula, and aid. They are putting civilians and children at the brink of death. This man-made famine and genocide must end.

The oligarchy is alive and well, and it’s in the reconciliation package Republicans just passed. There goes access to your healthcare, food assistance, housing, and so much more. All to give billionaires a tax cut. My full statement:

The shooting that killed two Israeli embassy staff outside the Capital Jewish Museum last night is deeply concerning and unacceptable. We’re holding the victims’ loved ones and the broader community in our thoughts as they mourn this senseless act of violence.

A judge just blocked the Trump admin's unlawful attempt to gut the Department of Education and ordered the reinstatement of over 1,300 fired employees. This win belongs to our students, our educators, our communities and to everyone who believes education is worth fighting for.

Harvard stood up to government overreach—and now the Trump admin is retaliating by targeting international students. This is political revenge, plain and simple, and the message is clear: submit or be punished. International students aren't bargaining chips for those in power.

Skin cancer is one of the most common — and preventable — cancers in the U.S. But not everyone gets the same access to protection, education, or early detection. This #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth, share info, check your skin + protect your people: preventcancer.org/skin

If it’s ā€œradicalā€ to say housing is a human right, maybe we need to stop letting billionaires define the word. They get the whole pie, the bakery, the land it sits on—and STILL want to come for our crumbs.

On Memorial Day, we remember those who gave everything in service. Their sacrifice reminds us to care for our veterans, neighbors, and families. Honoring the fallen means caring for the living.
