My Firearm Safety Act finally applies consumer safety standards to guns, like: Warning labels. Recalls on defective firearms. The same basic protections applied to other dangerous products. Guns should be sold responsibly. Period. . ⬇️
My Responsible Firearms Marketing Act cracks down on gun companies that advertise guns to kids, glorify violence, and encourage illegal use of weapons. No industry should profit by marketing deadly weapons to kids—especially when guns are the number one killer of kids. ⬇️
The gun industry profits off gun violence. I’m taking the fight to their pocketbooks. I’ve introduced two bills to hold the gun industry accountable. One tackles dangerous marketing, particularly to kids. The other sets basic safety standards like recalls on defective guns ⬇️
This evening, House Republicans will try to make it harder to vote. Their SAVE America Act would block millions of eligible Americans from voting—unless the state hands over their voter rolls to Secretary Noem at DHS. This is voter suppression, plain and simple. I’m a HELL NO.
More than 70,000 people are held in inhumane ICE detention centers. Over 52,000 have no criminal convictions. Due process is being ignored. I am working with @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem for her role in this abuse of power.
Pam Bondi is testifying on the Hill today, & she has a lot to answer for. The DOJ says the Epstein case is over. But survivors know better. Bondi released files that exposed victims while shielding the perpetrators. I stand with survivors in demanding full accountability, answers, & the truth.
Pam Bondi refused to apologize to Epstein survivors standing right behind her. Instead, she laughed and called it “theatrics.” She released Epstein Files that exposed survivors’ identities—and instead protected pedophiles. If not an apology, we will force answers & accountability.
Right now, families are struggling to afford rent, food, and medical care. You’d think lowering costs would be the priority. Instead, House Republicans aren’t voting on solutions this week. They’re working to make it harder for American citizens to vote.
Republicans’ plan lets ICE run rampant. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social proposed a different plan: ✅Body cams ✅No masks ✅Judicial warrants ✅No roving patrols ✅End racial profiling ✅Independent investigations And finally, I’m impeaching Kristi Noem. She must go.
@HouseDemocrats.bsky.social are proposing real changes to rein in ICE. ICE needs to ultimately be dismantled. Right now, though, we can ban masks, mandate body cams, and require judicial warrants. Republicans should not play politics with people’s safety and put guardrails against ICE.
Bad Bunny’s halftime show was a powerful reminder that we are ALL Americans. To my House colleagues, we must bring that same sense of responsibility to our work. We have a constitutional duty to hold leaders like Kristi Noem accountable. We must impeach Noem NOW.
Join my office at my annual Youth Opportunities Fair & connect with organizations offering jobs, internships, mentoring, camps, & volunteer opportunities. Youth of all ages are welcome. There will be select programs for students in grades K–8. Your next opportunity starts here.
I’m thinking of Shirley Chisholm this #BlackHistoryMonth. I stand on her shoulders, carrying forward her vision in service to my district and our communities. Because she dared to run, I dared to lead. Unbossed and unbought, always.
