Pregnant women are being detained & denied access to essential reproductive care. And the ability to raise families is threatened by Trump's unlawful deportation campaign. Our resolution affirms that nobody should be policed, and everyone should be met with the humanity &

It's long past time we prioritize affordability, accessibility, & sustainability in public transportation — including through fare-free transit. That's why I'm leading my colleagues demanding Congress do just that in the next surface transportation bill.

The children are all of ours, always. From Boston to Gaza. Our destinies are tied. The State Department must act to save lives. Humanitarian aid, baby formula, and medical evacuations now.

This investment is meaningful—but economic justice cannot and must not depend on the benevolence of billionaires. @SecScottBessent must issue equitable guidance to ensure Trump Accounts uplift our most vulnerable families and not leave these children behind.
Breaking News: Michael and Susan Dell said they would put $250 in individual investment accounts for 25 million American children, expanding the reach of soon-to-be-created "Trump accounts."

Healthcare is not a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. Democrats are united in extending ACA tax credits that have been a lifeline for families. Now we just need four Republicans of conscience to join us and help save healthcare for millions of people.
BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. That makes 214. We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

In communities like Allston, rogue, masked agents are terrorizing our immigrant neighbors—glorified bullies masquerading as public servants. They're abducting workers, violating civil rights, & ripping families apart. We must protect our communities and reject this cruelty at

RFC stands with @HouseDemocrats in calling for action on the expiring tax credits. We say HELL NO to any GOP attempts at hijacking negotiations with an insurance marketplace abortion coverage ban.
The ACA tax credits expire on December 31st. There is still time to extend these life-saving tax credits that help tens of millions of Americans afford health care. @HouseGOP: do the right thing and work with Democrats to save health care.

Unlike federal employees, federal *contractors* did not receive backpay when the government reopened. I'm still fighting to make sure they do. This isn't just a matter of fairness—it's about stability, dignity, & justice.

Millions of people still lack access to HIV treatment & prevention services that save lives. And Trump's cuts to these programs have only deepened the hurt. On World AIDS Day, we recommit to creating a future free from stigma & #EndAIDS once & for all.

Black women are powerful. I’m grateful for leaders like Dr. B. Her mentorship & programming have helped so many Black women discover their why. I was proud to join her for a fireside chat that centered the voices of powerful women leaders.

Republicans have tried to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act since day 1. But, they have no replacement. So, if they don’t vote to extend the ACA tax credits, millions of people will see their health insurance premiums skyrocket.

The death of National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom is a tragedy and devastating loss for all who knew her. I condemn her murder, along with the exploitation of this tragedy to further advance hate, bigotry, and anti-immigrant policy. We cannot treat trauma with more trauma.

UPDATE: After nine months of unjust detention in an Israeli prison, Mohammed has been released. I met with his loved ones earlier this year, and I can only imagine the joy and relief they must be feeling. Praying for his healing and recovery, after months of inhumane treatment.
Right now, Mohammed Ibrahim, a US citizen, is being held in an Israeli prison. His health is deteriorating. The circumstances are desperate. The United States must use every avenue available to secure the release of this Palestinian American child.

Donald Trump lied when he promised to lower costs. And as shoppers hit the stores today, they're seeing higher costs for the goods they want to purchase. His economic policies are failing us. Billionaires are wealthier than ever. And working people are footing the bill.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table. Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families. Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more. A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

I'm horrified and praying for the two National Guard members shot in Washington, DC, and their loved ones. No family should endure the trauma of gun violence, especially so close to Thanksgiving.
