In opening remarks, @RepJayapal explains how, despite historic DHS funding, the Trump Administration is pressuring states and cities to follow unlawful directives and enforce Trump’s reckless immigration agenda.

From having a trading partner just 90 miles south of us to the incredible technological research, there are so many benefits to normalizing relations between the US and Cuba. The US must end our failed, cruel policies toward Cuba.

What I saw in Cuba was beyond cruel. The American people do not want the Cuban people to suffer at the hands of our government. It is high time we end the blockade.

The Supreme Court’s ruling to allow states to ban trans kids from playing in sports is discriminatory and opens the door to incredibly invasive examinations of children to determine who can play on what team. All of our kids deserve to play sports. This decision targets a tiny population of athletes and further emboldens Republicans’ anti-trans crusade.

Donald Trump is not a king, and he cannot, with the stroke of a pen, change our Constitution. Today’s Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship rightly reaffirms that if you are born in America, you are American, plain and simple.
Statement on Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Ruling: Donald Trump is not a king, and he cannot, with the stroke of a pen, change our Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship, and this attempt to overturn it was yet another piece of his anti-immigrant, xenophobic agenda. Today’s ruling rightly reaffirms that if you are born in America, you are American, plain and simple. This ruling should settle this issue once in for all. I hope it is a signal to Donald Trump to stop putting forward executive orders that are clearly illegal, anti-immigrant and traumatizing to Americans across the country and families who feared their children would be born stateless. This cruelty must stop. At least in this case, the majority of Supreme Court justices did the right thing.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal: "Every time a moderate wins an election, people are like, 'That's the new blueprint for the Democratic party.' But if a progressive or a Democratic Socialist wins, 'Oh, the whole party's falling to hell in a handbasket.' I think we've got to rethink that."

Trump wants to demonize socialism because he knows that programs like universal child care and health care are popular — and it’s a threat to him and his billionaire buddies.

Trump’s mass immigration crackdown has NOT unlocked more jobs for Americans. In fact, the opposite is true. ICE’s detention and deportation campaign has resulted in fewer jobs and lost sales across the country. It’s bad for our economy. nytimes.com/2026/06/26/opini…

Great news! The Supreme Court ruled that states can continue to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day that arrive later. Mail-in voting is critical for ensuring all of our voices can be heard. It’s why Washington state is leading the country with vote by mail! apnews.com/article/supreme-c…

Supreme Court rules states can count late-arriving mailed ballots, rejecting Trump-led challenge

The Supreme Court is rejecting a Republican-led attack on state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.

Trump and Republicans’ cuts to SNAP have many families worried about how they will feed their kids this summer while school is out. Our community’s food banks are stepping up. I’m grateful for the work they are doing — and I will continue fighting in Congress to restore funding that keeps our kids fed. komonews.com/news/local/summ…

Trump is nominating an Oklahoma State Trooper, someone with seemingly no immigration background, to lead ICE. This is a ridiculous nomination to lead a massive agency that has an unprecedented, taxpayer funded budget.
