You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters.

Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation.

NO.

88 of the largest corporations in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes—while making $105 BILLION in profits.

The rich keep getting richer, while working families get screwed.

It is way past time for the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share. #TaxDay

This Black Maternal Health Week, I'm honored to display a portrait of Fatima Carter, a Black woman who lost her life at 32 to a pregnancy-related complication.

We owe it to Fatima, and every family like hers, to make the systematic changes Black mothers deserve. #InHerHonor

Iran war could plunge 32 million into poverty, says United Nations ‘Development in reverse’ taking place involving rising energy and food costs and weaker economic growth

Trump's illegal war with Iran will impoverish 32 million people worldwide.

Congress has a moral obligation to end this war and immediately move to impeach Trump.

Trump is driving up utility costs by blocking clean energy projects, all to subsidize fossil fuels. We're not going back. Our Energy Bills Relief Act will:
🌱 Restore clean energy tax credits
🌱 Prevent utility shut-offs
🌱 Incentivize utility companies to lower energy bills

Avivo Village is a tiny home community designed to be a dignified, safe alternative to outdoor encampments.

I was proud to secure $850,000 in federal funding to expand their Chicago Ave center. I'll keep fighting to invest in affordable housing for the folks who need it most. 💪🏽

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.

Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.

Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Trump's oil blockade on Cuba is suffocating an entire nation. This is a clear, despotic attempt at regime change, and civilians are paying the price.

Trump Says There’s No Money for Daycare Because We Have to Fight Wars President Trump used an Easter lunch to talk about how we can’t take care of kids or sick people—we can only take care of the U.S. military.

It's always yes to bombs, but no to our babies. This is what America last looks like.

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ+ kids The Supreme Court has ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice.

This Supreme Court decision puts our kids in danger. "Conversion therapy" is abuse—it's an unsafe, discredited practice that inflicts lasting trauma on LGBTQ+ youth.

We need to ban this reprehensible practice nationwide.

GOP weighs health care cuts to pay for Iran war New efforts to rein in health programs open the GOP up to attacks that they're cutting health care to pay for an unpopular war.

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from poor and working class families to pay for Trump's illegal war with Iran. It's unconscionable.

House Republicans just rejected the Senate's deal to end the DHS shutdown. 🤦🏽‍♀️

They would rather let TSA workers go unpaid than sacrifice a single dollar of funding for ICE. It's reprehensible.

Child labor violations rise in US – as Republicans still roll back protections Nebraska, Indiana and West Virginia Republicans have all rolled back child labor regulations while the number of violations has risen fivefold in the last decade

Child labor violations are skyrocketing and Trump's @dol.gov is removing critical child labor protections. It's unacceptable.

As Ranking Member of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee, I'm leading the Protecting Children Act to combat illegal child labor.

Republicans sent ICE a whopping $75 billion through their Big, Ugly Bill last year.

This week, the House is voting to send MORE money to ICE.

This rogue agency murdered two Minnesotans in broad daylight. ICE shouldn't get a single penny—it should be abolished. I'm voting NO.

Here's a clear message for my Senate Republican colleagues: we will NOT support a bill that disenfranchises millions of American citizens.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. It's a NO.

1 month ago 1163 297 36 13

The SAVE Act is the largest assault on voting rights in recent history.

This bill will disenfranchise millions of voters including women who changed their name after marriage, students who moved out for college, or folks living with mobility issues.

Our Senators must vote NO.
