The electoral college has outlived its usefulness. The president needs to be elected by popular vote to represent the will of the people.

Wishing you a Happy 4/20 from Suite 420! Just a friendly reminder to celebrate responsibly and always remember to pass it to the left, just like we do in Congress.

Shri Thanedar, the new Detroit congressman, deleted a tweet praising "Big Gretch" for repealing MI's abortion ban, replacing it with "Governor Whitmer."
Green Card backlog is creating undue hardship, stress and suffering to many families, sponsoring HB 1535 is just a start to make things right for hard working families.

As the founder of the Congressional Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, and Jain Caucus, I express my profound condemnation of the disgraceful act of vandalism committed against the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Newark, California. This desecration, marked…
I just voted against the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas for a second time.
It's time to end this charade. We need real leadership. We need to flip the House blue.
Happy President's day! Just sick of all the Joe Biden bashing. Last weekend, for 75 minutes, I sat across from the President 20 feet away, watching and listening intently. He deserves a chance to finish the job.
Tonight, I proudly voted against impeaching Secretary Mayorkas.
It's clear the chaos caucus on the other side of the aisle can't govern.
It's time to flip the House blue, so we can get to work.
I asked US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to expand the legal pathways for immigration, including by raising the cap for H-1B visas - to help grow US economy.
Who said politicians can’t play chess? It was a close game, but I guess all those hours of committee meetings and floor debates have honed my strategic thinking skills! ♟️😅
3 AM walk to apartment was a little eerie. Biggest regret: No bipartisan agreement in the homeland security committee, despite 16 hours of debate on Border security.
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the attacks at the Indian Consulate in San Francisco. Violence and attempts to instil terror are unacceptable in democracy.
Welcome to Detroit,

More than just Stormy and Trump, let's not forget the real scandal. We need to end Citizens United and take back our democracy from special interests.

Last night, the peaceful Christmas party for Michigan’s 13th District at a private venue was disrupted by aggressive protestors. They created a situation of violence where innocent party goers, including elderly people, were injured. Some seriously. I love and value the First…
I am ready to vote for an aid package to Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine to defend our allies overseas. It's time for Mike Johnson to bring this bill to a floor vote immediately.
Twitter friends, keep your comments coming. Even though I often don't respond, I read almost all of them, the good, the bad and the ugly. Your comments gives me a pulse of your thinking, which is very important.
Almost midnight, returning to my apartment after late votes on the defence act, I am voting NO, as McCarty and extreme GOP engaged in cultural war depriving service members of their essential freedom.
Congratulations, Mr. President on the well deserved win.
I look forward to helping deliver the state of Michigan for you in November too. Let’s win this!
I want to thank every Michigander who made their voice heard today. Exercising the right to vote and participating in our democracy is what makes America great.
Four years ago, it was Michigan’s diverse coalition that came together to reject Donald Trump’s MAGA extremism and…

Clock ticking for March 1 ...
Being pro-choice means supporting a women’s right to make decisions about their own bodies, without government intervention.
This year, we must elect a large enough majority to codify Roe into law.
I'm ready to vote for this legislation in Congress.
If you are tired of the threat of a government shutdown every two months, you’re not alone.
My colleagues and I are ready to find a permanent solution. House Republicans refuse to work with us. Let’s flip the House blue.
Michigan is the most important battleground state in 2024.
I am ready to deliver our state for President Biden and Vice President Harris.
We will win this year.
My education in India from K12 to Master's was all publicly funded. US Govt must invest in every child's education. It's goood business and will propel US economy to new highs.
Every single House Republican voted against a $35 cap on insulin.
Every single Republican voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription prices.
Don’t ever let voters forget this–spread the word.
I’m ready to vote to codify abortion rights into federal law.
We need a Democratic House and Senate majority to do it.
Americans will get it done in November.

The same House Republicans screaming about immigration reform now are the ones who have served years in Congress, yet failed to act.
Remember that. I’m ready to vote for a bill that reforms our broken Immigration system. It’s up to them to stop the dysfunction.
Thanks to Democrats, Medicare can now negotiate the cost of prescription drugs in America.
Democrats deliver. Give us the House majority, and we will deliver again.
House Republicans just rejected the bipartisan Senate immigration deal. Then, they gave us a two-week recess.
If the government shuts down, it's because of the GOP.
Johnson on the Supplemental: The House is actively pursuing all the options on that. We will address that in a timely manner. But the first priority is our border

As a House Democrat, I am ready to vote to codify reproductive rights into federal law.
The only issue? House Republicans.
Give us a majority. Let us protect reproductive freedom. Spread the word.
I was proud to vote for President Biden in 2020 and again in the Michigan Democratic primary.
In November, I look forward to helping deliver Michigan for Team Biden-Harris. We need four more years of this Administration.
51 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was a right guaranteed by the Constitution.
51 years later, that right is no longer guaranteed. As a member of Congress, I have fought for abortion rights.
I won’t stop fighting until we codify Roe into law.
BREAKING: In another win for NY AG Letitia James, a New York jury has found the NRA and its former CEO Wayne LaPierre liable for corruption and misappropriating funds.

he won't "be quiet" as polling numbers "are so clearly saying that we’re going to be facing an emergency next November.”
Joe Biden is officially the Democratic nominee.
I proudly voted for the President in 2020, again during the Michigan primary, and will help deliver our state for him in November. Let's finish the job!
