In an effort to lower costs for hard-working Americans, we have created a program that allows eligible individuals to file their taxes online for free with the IRS. Get a head start this tax season without having to worry about extra steps and fees!
In the 119th Congress, I pledged to lead the fight to reauthorize PEPFAR – a program that has saved 26 million lives with HIV/AIDS medication. President Trump has now paused its funding under a 90-day halt, sending the harmful message that these lives don't matter. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish lives and countless others lost during the Holocaust. As we reflect on this dark chapter in history, we must continue our fight against antisemitism and ensure that these atrocities never get minimized or forgotten.
This week, I am honoring the incredible resilience of survivors of gun violence. Strong gun safety laws are essential in combating gun violence and preventing tragedies like these in the future. I will continue to fight for common sense measures that keep our communities safe.
The maternal mortality rate in the U.S. is unacceptably high, especially among Black, Brown, and Native American women. On #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay, I will continue fighting for reproductive freedoms and to expand maternal healthcare initiatives in our communities.
I was delighted to be a part of the grand opening of Mahari, an African fusion restaurant, in Hyde Park. Opening a restaurant takes a lot of grit, courage, and hard work. Chef Rah did a wonderful job, and I am excited for you all to try his food!
15 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled to allow outside groups to spend unlimited amounts of dark money on our elections. Since then, they have been able to spend millions to halt progress. We must #EndCitizensUnited and protect our democracy from power-hungry billionaires.
Let's be clear: those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 are not patriots. They injured over 140 police officers, threatened elected officials, and attempted to overthrow our democracy. Trump's pardon undermines the rule of law and further divides this country.
On the campaign trail, Trump regularly featured the stories of Jan. 6 defendants he labeled "hostages" and "patriots."
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I am honoring the great legacy of Dr. King by continuing his work toward racial justice and civil rights. I’m building a future of justice, equality, and opportunity for all individuals.
Thank you, President Biden. From helping the country recover from the COVID-19 pandemic to making the final push to recognize the Equal Rights Amendment as part of our Constitution, your leadership has symbolized true public service. It has been an honor working with you.
Since taking office in 2013, I have fought to recognize gun violence as a public health crisis and reduce the number of lives taken every year. Gun homicides have declined, but there is more work to do. I will always stand for common sense gun safety.
Last night, I was sworn in to the 119th Congress in front of family members, staff, elected officials, and constituents from all over the Second District. I am so grateful for the support that you have given me as I begin my next term as your representative in Washington. Now, the work begins.
This is also promising news for all Gaza residents who have been besieged by the war, including Palestinian civilians who will receive humanitarian assistance. I hope that this is the first step towards long-awaited peace, with an end to the war and the release of all hostages.
Last week, I signed my oath of office and was sworn into the 119th Congress. It is a great honor to continue to serve as the Second District’s representative in Washington. Thank you for trusting me to be your voice.
Happy Korean American Day! January 13th marks the arrival of the first Korean immigrants to the United States, 122 years ago. Today, we honor the great accomplishments of Korean Americans, as well as Korean culture and traditions that have enriched our communities.
