I offer my thanks to our TSA, FEMA and Coast Guard, who have endured unnecessary hardship amidst rising prices. They should not have to pay the price for House Republicans’ disregard for their livelihoods.
I’ll continue pushing for reforms that protect public safety and enforce the rule of law.
Over the last year, we have watched ICE and CBP agents operate with impunity, entering homes without judicial warrants and using deadly force. We must implement accountability measures that keep these agencies in check.
Instead, House Republicans rejected the Senate’s bipartisan deal and advanced a partisan bill funding DHS for 60 days with no ICE and CBP reforms, knowing full well that package is dead on arrival in the Senate.
For weeks, House and Senate Democrats called on Republicans to end the chaos of their partial government shutdown by passing a bill to fund DHS, with the exception of ICE and CBP.
Early this morning, the Senate finally did so unanimously. I stood ready to vote for that bill.
Since then, employees at TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and cybersecurity professionals have worked unpaid while a nearly $200 billion slush fund in the Big Ugly Law has enabled ICE and CBP to continue their aggressive mass deportation campaign.
On Valentine’s Day, Congressional Republicans let DHS funding lapse rather than adopt reforms to protect constitutional rights and address the crisis created by ICE and CBP agents that led to the deaths of Ruben Ray Martinez, Renee Good, Alex Pretti and at least 40 people within their custody.
Tonight, House Republicans have chosen to force TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and more to continue working without pay because they won’t address ICE and CBP’s campaign of terror.
Until we can hold them accountable, I won’t vote to give another cent to ICE and CBP. Here’s why 🧵

30 years ago, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 opened the door to a digital revolution and intermodal competition.
As we grapple with issues of universal connectivity and affordability, I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social Democrats to discuss the importance of modernizing the Telecoms Act.

Statement from New Dem Leadership on the Republican bill to fund ICE and CBP without any of the commonsense reforms the American people have demanded.
Today is #EqualPayDay, marking how far into 2026 women have to work to earn what men did in 2025. For moms, women of color and women with disabilities, this day falls even further into the year.
Women working full-time, year-round earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn.
For over a month, the Department of Homeland Security has been subject to a partial government shutdown. During the March recess, I visited TSA workers at Richmond International Airport to discuss how this shutdown impacts them.

Rather than deliver on his campaign promises, Trump prioritizes vanity projects and his mass deportation-detention agenda over the American people.
I opposed the Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act as another distraction from this Administration.

My bill with Rep. Dunn to reauthorize and strengthen the FirstNet emergency communications network just advanced out of full committee unanimously! It now heads to the House floor for a vote.
The bill will ensure first responders have the tools they need to communicate in a crisis and save lives.

This #WomensHistoryMonth gives us a chance to look back on the achievements made by Black women.
In a time of intense backlash from the Trump Administration, I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour to talk about our history: the progress we’ve made, and the work that remains.
