Today, I introduced the Governor’s Right to Inspect Act of 2026 to ensure governors can conduct oversight visits to immigration detention facilities and help safeguard the health, safety, and basic human rights of those in custody. Transparency and accountability are essential.

10 years ago today, 49 lives were lost at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando as they celebrated Pride Month.
Our LGBTQ community deserves to live their lives as their true, authentic selves -- without fear of violence.
#EndGunViolence #HonorThe49
Today, we remember the 49 lives stolen at Pulse Nightclub, an LGBTQI nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
Our members will continue working to end the epidemics of violence and hate so that no person ever has to live in fear of extremist violence like this ever again.
ALT Equality Caucus remembers lives lost at Pulse Nightclub, 10 years later.
ALT “Ten years ago, 49 innocent lives were stolen—many of whom were LGBTQI and Latino—in a senseless act of violence. The pain of the families, the community of Orlando, and the entire LGBTQI community remains immeasurable. As Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, I remain committed to honoring the memories of the Pulse Angels by working to end the epidemics of violence and hate so that no person ever has to live in fear of extremist violence like this ever again.” Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus

Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire thanks in large part to 100 government contracts-- some of which he received while also being a government official.
Meanwhile, millions of hard-working Americans struggle to afford gas, put food on the table, and make their rent payments. It's insane. To close this ever widening wealth gap, we need a wealth tax. #TaxTheRich

Today, I led the @HouseDemocrats in wearing orange to honor Hadiya Pendleton and every life stolen by gun violence. Orange was Hadiya's favorite color, and now, it's a bright beacon for gun violence awareness.
We owe survivors more than thoughts & prayers. We owe them action.

What we’re seeing right now at ICE facilities across the nation is a stain on our country.
This shouldn’t even be a discussion.

Trump in August 2024:
“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”
Trump in January 2026:
He “defeated” inflation; America has “virtually no inflation.”
Today:

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning?
TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.

Last night, Republicans voted to give ICE and CBP $70 million over the next 3 years, their latest rubber stamp on the cruelty of the Trump administration.
In the Appropriations Committee, I called them out — along with corporations like GEO Group who profit from this cruelty.

Around 70,000 people are being held in detention, with roughly 70% of them not having a criminal conviction.
Trump and his allies have shown their true desire — to make America the least welcoming place on earth for anyone who isn’t white.

Last year, Republicans ripped health care from millions and cut food assistance for kids, veterans, and seniors – all to give tax breaks to their billionaire donors.
Last night, in the @AppropsDems Committee, I saw more of the same: Republicans rolling over for Trump while their own constituents struggle to make ends meet.

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pay tribute to U.S. and Allied Forces who served during World War II and remember the service members whose bravery on the beaches and in the skies above Normandy and Nazi-occupied France changed the course of history.

Truly sick.
Why was this announced the day AFTER Mullin testified?
Was he afraid what @RepLaMonica and @RepAnalilia may ask him?
Exclusive: In a memo sent to ICE employees, acting director David Venturella said the agency is eliminating its requirement to report deaths that occur within 30 days of people being released from its custody. wapo.st/4o94uE0

The Constitution guarantees due process under the law. It is a fundamental right that protects the liberty of all - citizen and non-citizen alike.
This right has come under attack by the Trump Administration. I thank Governor Sherrill for taking steps to protect New Jerseyans.
NEWS: We are increasing funding for the Detention Deportation Defense Initiative by $12 million – for a total of $20.2 million.
We are also launching a Rapid Legal Response Initiative to expand statewide legal capacity for emergency immigration defense and support immigrant families across New Jersey.
These actions will help ensure more people in New Jersey's communities receive due process under the law and more New Jersey attorneys are mobilized to stand up for the fundamental human rights of detainees and their families.
