Today marks 7 years since the Pulse Nightclub shooting, one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.We must pass meaningful gun safety legislation, stand up against anti-LGBTQ+ hate, and work to build safer communities for all.

The Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action is a disaster for underserved communities, including the Black and Brown kids I represent, denying many a fair chance.Pretending racism hasn’t shaped America for 500 years just deepens inequities.I won’t stop fighting for justice and equal opportunities.

Let me get this straight: the same #SupremeCourt justices taking luxury trips paid for by billionaires just voted to deny student loan forgiveness for everyday Americans? Our courts – from highest to lowest – must start working for working people.

Nearly 1,000 children and teenagers have lost their lives to gun violence so far in 2023.Our young people deserve a chance to bond over books rather than find comradery dodging bullets in their classrooms.Read my new op-ed in The Hill: https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/4075340-on-independence-day-we-declare-freedom-from-gun-violence/

Today’s misguided #SCOTUS ruling is a loss for millions of people trying to achieve the American Dream.And although it's a setback: it’s not the end.The White House and House Democrats will not stop fighting for loan relief and forgiveness.

President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act is lowering health care costs for Ohioans.Proud to join U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Becerra, Mayor Justin M. Bibb & local senior advocates at Broadway Pharmacy in #CLE to discuss how the #IRA is delivering for #OH11: including a $35/month cap on Medicare-covered insulin costs.

Extremist politicians once again chose Politics over People, prioritizing grievances over good governance by hijacking the originally and historically bipartisan #NDAA at the expense of the American people, and our armed services.My full statement ⤵️

Instead of complaining about a "two-tiered justice system" investigating disproven Biden allegations, Republicans on the Oversight Committee should look at a real two-tiered system: unfair treatment of people of color.

Across the country, extremist politicians are trying to erase, ban, and rewrite Black history.The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument preserves our history by reminding us of the pains of the past, and our ongoing fight for progress.

With the historic #InflationReductionAct, Democrats passed legislation to lower health care costs, cap prescription costs, and create clean energy jobs. I will never stop fighting to lower costs and grow the middle class here in #OH11.https://youtu.be/Rs4-thlK1lM

On this day in 1974, The Equal Educational Opportunities Act declared that states cannot discriminate against students enrolled in public schools with regard to race, national origin, or religion.Today, we continue the fight to expand access to equal opportunity in education.

Democrats are fixing roads and bridges, bringing supply chains and clean energy jobs back home, and delivering high-speed internet to more neighborhoods. We’re investing in Ohio and across America to grow the middle class.

As a Black woman, I see very clearly how book bans across the country are part of a larger effort to erase Black history. I'm proud to cosponsor Rep. Jamie Raskin's Banned Books Resolution because book bans not only endanger our core values and freedoms, but the future of our country.

On this day in 1971, Marvin Gaye released his masterpiece 'What's Going On' – an album that captured so much of its political and historical moment and still resonates today. Give it a listen: https://open.spotify.com/album/2v6ANhWhZBUKkg6pJJBs3B?autoplay=true

On Tuesday, I joined Congresswoman Kaptur and Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick to call for legislation to put defibrillators into schools nationwide. With CPR every second counts, and when it comes to young people at risk of sudden cardiac arrest – every student counts.

Juneteenth is a celebration of Black culture, Black history, and the strength and persistence of Black Americans. Juneteenth is a celebration of our freedom – and a reminder that we still have work to do. #HappyJuneteenth

Elon is not an elected official. He is not a senate confirmed appointee. He is leading a fabricated dept. without Congressional oversight And he clearly lacks any understanding of government. He is dangerous and must be stopped.
