I led the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in demanding the release of pregnant and nursing moms in ICE detention centers. Pregnant women have been shackled, deprived of prenatal care, and even lost their babies. It’s inhumane. Like these judges, I want answers.
Illinois lost 400 farms in 2025. Republicans are proposing a farm bill that is too little, too late. It ignores Trump's tariffs, lost markets, and massive debt. Our farmers need a lifeline. USDA data confirms it: Trump’s economy is killing family farms. We must act now.
First, Renée Good. Then Alex Pretti. Who is next? Masked federal agents operating with deadly force and little transparency is a failure of oversight. I will continue my fight to rein in DHS, end anonymous enforcement, and impeach Kristi Noem.
Veterans followed the call to serve. They should not be punished for following their doctor’s care plan.
🧵1/2 : Yesterday, VA quietly issued an interim final rule that immediately changes how veterans’ disability ratings are evaluated: no notice, no explanation, no debate. Trump's VA Secretary Collins did not consult VSOs or Congress before acting.
Imagine believing that you can "pledge" $10 billion as if it were your own personal funds. That’s taxpayer money going to a so-called Board of Peace. Someone tell President Trump that Article I still exists: Congress holds the purse strings, not the President.
Republicans shut down DHS and let ICE continue its raids and mass deportations. I will keep fighting for oversight and accountability, including my impeachment articles against Secretary Noem. It is beyond time to dismantle failed immigration enforcement models and rebuild.
Today, many in our community observe Ash Wednesday and begin the Lenten season. It is a time for reflection, humility, and recommitting ourselves to service and care for those most in need. Wishing all who observe a meaningful and peaceful season.
As Ramadan begins, I wish peace, reflection, and strength to all who observe. May this holy month bring comfort to families, deepen compassion for others, and renew our shared commitment to community. Ramadan Mubarak.
What we are seeing under Secretary Noem is not leadership — it is a moral and policy failure. She’s overseen: Cruel detention conditions. Families living in fear. Communities being targeted. I am pursuing impeachment because accountability matters. Always.
Reverend Jesse Jackson showed us what it means to keep hope alive. His faith, courage, and lifelong fight for justice improved our democracy and inspired generations. I’m honored to have called Rev. Jackson a friend, supporter, and constituent. May he rest in power.
ICE may be leaving Minneapolis. But the lasting trauma, pain, and damage are not. You do not get to deploy aggressive enforcement, devastate communities, & walk away without consequence. I will keep pursuing impeachment against Secretary Noem. I will keep pushing until there is JUSTICE.
Presidents’ Day is about honoring leaders who respected the responsibility of the office and the people they served. In 2026, that contrast is clear. Our country deserves a president who protects our democracy, delivers on lowering costs, and improves the lives of hardworking families.
This Black History Month, I’m honoring my SHERO, Barbara Lee. ✊🏾 Her courage. Her conviction. Her unwavering voice for justice. She has never been afraid to stand alone when it meant standing up for our communities. Grateful for her leadership. Inspired by her legacy.
I did not come to Congress to stay silent while our communities are abused. Under Secretary Noem: Civil rights are violated. Oversight is blocked. Human dignity is dismissed. Impeachment is the constitutional remedy. And I intend to use it.
She wouldn’t face the Epstein survivors. She wouldn’t apologize. If you can’t look victims in the eye and own the harm, you have no business leading the Justice Department. Survivors deserved courage. They received silence.
