Trump just requested a $1.5 TRILLION military budget.
Last year, he cut $1 trillion from your health care—the largest cut in American history. But magically found $1.5 TRILLION for death and destruction.
This is deranged.

I'm proud to stand with the Detroit Tenants Union as they demand that the 36th District Court follow the law and properly implement the city's rental ordinance to protect Detroiters from predatory, non-compliant landlords. freep.com/story/news/local/m…

Sama Safi is a 20-year old U.S. citizen and student who was kidnapped by Israeli soldiers from her family home at 3am last week and remains in Israeli prison. She has a chronic health condition and requires daily medication. Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!

ICE is a reckless, dangerous agency that terrorizes communities. It's outrageous that my colleagues gave them another $70 billion while our neighbors are struggling to afford groceries, childcare, and health care. I voted NO because our communities deserve to come first.

From the very start, this World Cup has been consumed by controversy and now the Trump administration is putting its racism on full display. Omar Artan of Somalia—Africa's top referee—was denied entry despite his diplomatic visa. Meanwhile the entire Iranian team is being forced to commute from Mexico for every match. It's a disgrace.

Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

The people of Lebanon can't wait another month for Congress to act. Every day that we do nothing, 11 more Lebanese children are killed or injured by the Israeli military in this U.S.-supported invasion. Congress must pass today's Lebanon War Powers Resolution.
BREAKING Lebanon’s health ministry says the death toll from the Israeli attacks on Lebanon rises to 3,526, with 10,733 people wounded since March 2.

We must end U.S. participation in the Israeli apartheid regime's invasion of Lebanon. The Israeli military continues to target journalists like Amal Khalil and use our tax dollars to commit war crimes. I urge my colleagues to vote YES on today's Lebanon War Powers resolution.

From North Lake to Delaney Hall, ICE and their for-profit contractors are committing horrific acts of violence and depravity against our neighbors.
These torture facilities must be shut down, those responsible prosecuted, and ICE abolished.
She reported a sexual assault at North Lake. ICE deported her before the investigation was over. michiganpublic.org/criminal-…

Pride started as a protest born from resistance to injustice. As we kick off Pride Month, I’m honored to celebrate the spirit of Pride by continuing to fight for LGBTQI equality in the halls of Congress with my @EqualityCaucus colleagues while standing with advocates at home.

The genocide in Gaza continues, and there is no ceasefire. Netanyahu is openly announcing the military takeover of 70 percent, and ultimately all, of Gaza. Four more children in Gaza were killed by U.S.-funded Israeli bombs yesterday. No more excuses: Arms Embargo now.

🚨Israel’s PM Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip
Netanyahu: “At this point, we are fully in control of 60% of the territory of the Gaza Strip… and my directive is to get to… 70%”
Audience member: “100! 100!”
Netanyahu: “Wait, let’s go in order. First 70%. Let’s start with that.”
Israel had withdrawn to 53% of Gaza after the ceasefire brokered by the US last October, but has steadily expanded control to over 60%, maps show.

This decision is beyond cruelty. The Trump administration is trying to cut off all possible immigration pathways and tear apart our immigrant families. This Administration's racist actions are inhumane and we must stop funding this fascist army.

This is a radical change to immigration policy, forcing anyone applying for a green card to leave the country indefinitely, forget whether they have American kids, spouse, etc.
The talking point that we do want legal immigration, we just want people to get in line and follow the rules, is BS. This is an attempt to blow up the line, blow up the rules, and make it insanely difficult to immigrate legally.

Yesterday, our communities came together to show our love for our service members and their families.
We paused to acknowledge those who lost their lives, and we were reminded that words aren’t enough. We must take action to support our veterans.

Over 3,000 killed. This mass murder must end. The U.S. is not a bystander in the Israeli military's brutal invasion of Lebanon—it is an active participant.
I will force a vote in Congress to immediately end all U.S. participation in this illegal and immoral war on Lebanon.

The fact that the U.S. has one of the highest child poverty rates among wealthy nations is a political choice and a moral failure. @RepSaraJacobs and I are introducing the Ending Child Poverty Resolution because our children deserve more, and Congress must invest in their future.
