Enough is enough. I am leading the effort to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem because her abuse of power cannot be ignored. No one is above the law. Congress has a duty to respond when officials break the constitution, and I am doing exactly that.
President Trump launched his own “TrumpRx” website, celebrating “discounts.” This is after he cut Medicaid by $1 billion and let ACA tax credits expire. Americans are still stuck with high drug prices. Americans need real policy changes. Full stop.
One of my articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem accuses her of steering $200 million of taxpayer dollars to an ad firm owned by a personal friend. Those ads spew racist, white supremacy propaganda to recruit ICE agents. It must end.
I introduced the Freeze ICE Act to stop hiring of new ICE agents with @repfletcher.bsky.social. We should not expand ICE while serious questions about conduct and training remain unanswered. Who are the people behind the masks? Are they Jan. 6 insurrectionists?
🧵Today, I introduced the Freeze ICE Act. As Americans across the country express deep concerns that ICE agents are violating the Constitution and causing hardship, a hiring freeze is needed until there is accountability and transparency to ensure the safety of the American people. (1/2)
A federal judge blocked Noem’s attempt to deport over 350,000 Haitians under temporary protected status. It’s time for Congress to act. I signed onto @Pressley.house.gov's discharge petition to force a vote on extending TPS for Haitians. Deporting families back to a country in crisis is inhumane.
Outside of Father Pfleger's church, a mother was shot and killed in a car with her baby in the backseat. The trauma is unbearable. Father Pfleger asked me for prayers--and action. Only action will take weapons of war off our streets. I will never give up in this fight to end gun violence.
I was at Kristi Noem’s front steps at ICE headquarters yesterday, so she heard us loud and clear: Congress is watching. The American people are watching. We do not like what we see. Noem, it’s time for you to go. I’m impeaching you.
I led the first comprehensive maternal health package, expanded postpartum Medicaid to a year, and announced the WELLS Act so no mother is discharged while in active labor. I will keep pushing until health equity is a reality for all.
Honored to receive the Barbara Lee Reproductive Justice Champion Award from @blackwomensrj.bsky.social. This work is not about the recognition but the outcome for the mothers & families whose voices are often silenced. I brought the issue of maternal mortality to Congress & will continue the fight.
Food prices are up. Electricity bills are up. Healthcare costs are exploding. Communities are terrorized by ICE. This is President Trump’s America. Broken promises, higher costs, and struggling families while Republicans protect billionaires. The American people deserve better.
This is what unchecked power looks like: ❌ Weaponized ICE agents with taxpayer dollars. ❌ Unconstitutional and incompetent leadership by Noem ❌ Trampling of civil rights I voted NO on the DHS funding deal. I will continue the fight to dismantle ICE and impeach Secretary Noem.
One of the kids Kristi Noem's ICE abducted was five-year-old Liam Ramos. The people and @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social worked hard to get him back home this week. When Trump and Noem come after children, everyone should be alarmed. It is not safe. It is not right. It is cruel.
SECRETARY NOEM MUST BE IMPEACHED. I was outside ICE headquarters today to tell Secretary Noem that we are fed up with her Gestapo agents. Over 180 members of Congress support impeachment because her actions are unconstitutional. The people have had enough.
🔴 LIVE NOW: Rep. Robin Kelly joins Democrats outside ICE HQ demanding the firing of DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and accountability for ICE abuses. Watch live with @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, @newdems.bsky.social, @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social, @cbc.house.gov, @capac.house.gov & CPC bit.ly/NOEMOUTRALLY
President Trump gutted healthcare—giving a $75 billion check to ICE. No more blank checks. No racial profiling. No masked agents. No occupation of our cities. I’m impeaching Sec. Noem for her lawless leadership, & I’m united w/ @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social in holding this rogue agency accountable.
Transparency is not optional. The public is still being denied critical Epstein Files, and Pam Bondi’s Justice Department must stop withholding information. The DOJ exposed names of survivors—instead of the men who abused them. Full release. Full accountability.
Health insurance CEOs: You are making our healthcare crisis worse. President Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will push millions off coverage, and the expiration of ACA tax credits raised premiums. Their failure to meet this moment and lower costs will endanger lives.
Federal agents shot Alex Pretti, a legal gun owner, and Secretary Noem said he shouldn’t have had a gun. This, from a woman who shot her dog. She thinks the Constitution only applies when it’s convenient. She’s in for a rude awakening.
