Nancy Mace’s legislation to ban naturalized citizens from government service is hateful, it is insulting to our country’s history, and it is rooted in racism. I call on all my colleagues — including my Republican colleagues who are naturalized citizens — to condemn this.

Nobody should be a trillionaire. Tax the damn rich.

New York Magazine Headline: "The SpaceX IPO Could Make Elon Musk a Trillionaire — and Essentially 'Unfireable'" by Bess Levin, dated May 19, 2026. At the bottom is a photo of Elon Musk.

Orlin was a little boy who was killed after his mother was deported without him, despite her desperate pleas to take him with her. Thanks to Trump’s mass deportation agenda, every single community has a Wendy and an Orlin.

Wendy Hernandez Reyes. Aliya Rahman. Nasra Ahmed. Destiny Jackson. Marimar Martinez. Renee Nicole Good. These are just some of the women who personally know or have experienced ICE and CBP's cruelty. Not another cent.

Women and children have borne the brunt of Trump’s cruel immigration actions. And yet Republicans want to give $70 BILLION MORE to ICE and CBP. Shame on them.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 19(source)

Last year, Trump and Republicans gave ICE and CBP $170 BILLION — even as they cut healthcare for millions of Americans. Now they want to give ICE and CBP another $70 billion. We won’t stand for it.

This is the height of corruption. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

More than 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during the Trump administration’s kidnapping and disappearing campaign. We need to reform our broken system and stop Trump from tearing families apart.

The image contains text stating "NEW REPORT: Over 100,000 Family Separations in Trump Administration's Deportation Push," and "Source: The Brookings Institution." It features pictures of Trump and ICE overlayed a background of a parent holding their child.

Trump said it himself — he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation. Whether it’s grocery prices or ticket sales, this administration is letting monopolies run unchecked — meaning prices go up for you.

Wall Street and private equity have no business in kids' sports. That’s why the Monopoly Busters Caucus co-chairs are introducing the Let Kids Play Act. Read more here:

Bill seeks to end 'vulture practices' in kids sports: What it means

A new bill introduced in Congress takes aim at private equity's involvement in youth sports. Here's what it means for athletes and their parents.

Trump’s China summit was just a big show of pomp and circumstance.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 18(source)

Donald Trump now wants a $1.7 BILLION slush fund to pay the January 6 insurrectionists and his MAGA allies. This is an incredible level of corruption that YOU, the taxpayer, would be paying for.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 17(source)

This week, I spoke at the Muslim Public Affairs Council and CSID's 24th Annual Conference about the need to protect democracy at home and abroad. As Republicans in Congress continue to attack our Muslim neighbors, this conversation could not have come at a more important time.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 17(source)

There have been 10,000 rulings against Trump’s mass deportation agenda. ICE is not above the law — and the courts have reaffirmed that in nearly 90% of cases.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 16(source)

Republicans want to force local and state law enforcement to comply with federal mass deportation policies by threatening to cut off billions in funding. This will NOT work and is a dangerous threat.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 16(source)

As the Pentagon continues an illegal war that has killed thousands of civilians and wasted billions of taxpayer dollars, I will absolutely NOT be voting for any new funding package. We must continue to introduce War Power Resolutions until we can stop this war.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 16(source)

A devastating story has come out about a US citizen child, Orlin, who was murdered after ICE deported his mom. This tragedy is an abject failure by ICE, and it’s why I will not give them another cent. We must stop the cruelty and lawlessness of this administration.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 15(source)

Marco Rubio is going to say whatever pleases Donald Trump. But the American people heard it for themselves: Trump does not care about your financial situation.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 15(source)

The $1 billion ballroom is rightfully getting a lot of attention. But the same bill also gives $70 BILLION to Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP, which still have $103 BILLION left over from the Big Bad Betrayal Bill. This bill wastes taxpayer dollars AND enables ICE's brutality.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 14(source)

Trump’s DOJ is targeting journalists for reporting on the Iran war. This is an attack on the free press and on our First Amendment. As the Trump administration continues to lie to justify their illegal war — we need the press now more than ever.

Trump’s Complaints About Iran War Leaks Prompt Aggressive DOJ Investigations

The Wall Street Journal has received subpoenas for records of reporters.
