The American people have a right to leaders who are willing to fight for them and their families.
House Democrats will always put People Over Politics, because we’re determined to deliver the progress our communities demand of us.
For our How to Succeed in Office package, we interviewed dozens of women currently in office—including
@SenGillibrand
,
@RepKatiePorter
, and
@RepYvetteClarke
. They shared the challenges they face and what kind of help they *really* need.
It's time to get real about women's health. Women's health topics often carry a stigma, and we need to break the silence.
Talking openly about these issues isn't just for women; it's for everyone. Together, we can make a difference.

My mother, Dr. Una S.T. Clarke, is the strongest, most fearless woman I’ve ever known. I would not be the person I am today without her guidance and love – and I know of countless women who can say the same of their mothers.
Happy Mother’s Day to her and every mom, today!
House Democrats are determined to defend our fundamental freedoms from the growing tide of far-right attacks.
We won’t rest until we restore reproductive rights across America and secure every woman’s access to birth control, fertility services like IVF, and abortion care.
Wishing a happy birthday to a true inspiration, Ms. Viola Ford Fletcher!
We must never mistake the Tulsa Race Massacre for a distant historical footnote, but rather a crime that remains within living memory.
And its victims deserve justice.
Today is the 110th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher. She’s one of two remaining survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Her case for reparations from what happened is now in the hands of the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
Within each of our communities, teachers are working tirelessly to support the next generation of leaders.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, I was proud to wear green alongside my colleagues to highlight the truth that our mental health deserves care.
I’ll always fight to ensure everyone who confronts mental health challenges has the resources they need to overcome their struggles.
President Biden’s budget proposal calls for an increase in capital gains tax up to 44.6%! This would be the highest capital gains tax the US has ever seen.
There’s more: it also calls for a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains.
It’s only for households worth at least $100…
More than 65,000 households in

will soon be facing unaffordable new prices and risk losing the internet access they need for work, school, health care, and all the economic opportunities an internet connection brings.
Congress needs to extend funding for the ACP NOW.
Today should have been Ahmaud Arbery’s 30th birthday.
Like so many young Black men before him and so many after, his life was cut tragically short by the same violence and bigotry that has plagued Black Americans for centuries.
We deserve freedom from hate. We deserve to live.
America owes a debt to Haiti. Repaying it begins with ensuring that a Haitian led democracy & freedom ring true in the US, Haiti, & across the globe.
Proud to stand with my fellow Haiti Caucus co-chairs &
@TheBlackCaucus

A touching tribute to a dear colleague, friend, and devoted public servant.
Let it be known that the United States Congress will not soon forget the name and achievements of
@RepDonaldPayne
.
Today, the Homeland Security committee placed a bouquet at the seat of Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. and had a moment of silence in his honor. It was a moving tribute to a great Congressman and dedicated servant of the people.
The loss of the ACP will deny millions of Americans the opportunities provided by affordable internet access. Without it, many will be left behind, widening the digital divide.
We must pass the bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act NOW.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is a lifeline for millions of seniors, veterans, and families who are lower income to afford high-speed internet.
We must pass the bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act to keep this critical program funded.
For far too many hard-working NYers, affordable housing is unattainable.
@RepYvetteClarke
and I are working to change that.
Today we announced our Affordable Housing and Area Median Income Fairness Act, legislation that would help combat the affordable housing crisis in NYC.
Closing the digital divide benefits all Americans, & it's something all Democrats & Republicans should be able to agree on.
The +23M US households that rely on the ACP to help pay their internet bills could soon be on their own. Congress must act now to save this vital program.
New from me: A look at the bipartisan push to pass the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act, led in the House by Yvette Clarke & Brian Fitzpatrick
