Oversight of ICE is critical right now. I traveled to North Lake Detention Center, a privately-owned facility in Baldwin, MI, after receiving numerous complaints from families and advocates about the conditions here. Over 1400 people are being detained, including a 19-year-old

Our tax dollars shouldn't be used to strip people of their humanity or steal moments they can never get back. Mohan came to our country in his teens as a refugee seeking safety and now the Trump admin is tearing his family apart. This cruel targeting of immigrants must stop now.

I'm deeply concerned for the health and safety of the brave anti-genocide political prisoners on hunger strike across the UK. I call on the UK government to act to ensure their wellbeing and to meet their basic, moral demands. https://t.co/Rio2h2eT6R

Corporate greed is out of control. This deal threatens millions of jobs and hurts audiences of moviegoers across the country. No single company should dominate our media and culture like this: not Netflix, not Paramount. We need strong anti-trust enforcement now!

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation. Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service. This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

Ending TPS for Haitians will force 330,000 people into violence and an escalating humanitarian crisis. Haitian families deserve safety and stability. The Trump Administration must reverse this cruel decision.

For more than 15 years, big banks ignored evidence of Epstein’s sex trafficking and repeatedly failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports, allowing his crimes to continue. They need to testify before Congress and be held accountable. Read my op-ed: https://t.co/knQBUDeOJP

Fred Durhal Jr. devoted his life to uplifting the city he loved dearly. Detroit was always on his mind. His steadfast leadership, courage, and deep commitment to service have left an enduring mark. Detroit is better because of him. May he rest in peace.

Grateful to meet the team behind the film The Voice of Hind Rajab. Israeli forces fired 335 bullets at the car Hind was in, murdering her hours after her family was killed next to her. I keep Hind's picture hanging in my office. Thank you for telling her story.

Platforms like Spotify made over a billion dollars in profits last year, but musicians make less than a penny per stream. Grateful that the Detroit City Council passed a resolution in support of our Living Wage for Musicians Act to give music artists the pay they deserve.

Today marks 70 years since Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in 1955, an act of resistance that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and changed the course of history. Transformative change can happen when we resist together.

From groceries to child care, and housing to health care, families are facing an affordability crisis. I introduced the Economic Dignity for All Agenda to make life more affordable for working people.

The combined impact of the bills contained in Rashida Tlaib’s proposed “Economic Dignity for All Agenda” could dramatically reduce poverty and inequality. The only question is whether Congress has the political will to enact them.

Team Tlaib knows that our veterans deserve more than words of thanks, they deserve action. We joined Wayne County Commissioner Baker McCormick for her annual veterans turkey giveaway to show our gratitude to our veterans this holiday season.

Hateful actions like this are meant to demonize Muslim communities and directly lead to the Islamophobic harassment and threats of violence that have targeted our neighbors in Dearborn and elsewhere in recent days.

During a Black maternal health crisis this is completely unacceptable. Black women deserve to be cared for and believed. Racial discrimination can't be tolerated and there must be justice for mothers who are discriminated against in our health care system.

If we have to wait for the president to do something about the cost of living in our country it'll never get done. Too many of our families are struggling. This is why I've launched the Economic Dignity for All Agenda to tackle the affordability crisis.
