This ruling is nothing but transphobia from Trump's Supreme Court. To our transgender siblings across the country: I'll continue fighting for the dignity and respect you deserve to thrive in every space you wish.

We are witnessing a deeply concerning rise in human rights violations & criminalization of LGBTQIA+ individuals across the globe. It is incumbent upon the US to protect our LGBTQIA+ siblings at home & abroad. That's why I'm urging @StateDept to take urgent action.

Anybody born on American soil is an American citizen, period. Donald Trump has tried to rewrite our Constitution, reverse the progress of Reconstruction, and deny us our fundamental rights. Not today. Not ever.

This ruling is welcome news. But we cannot lose sight that Trump & Republicans are still attempting to use every tool to disenfranchise millions of voters. We will continue to organize against their relentless campaign of voter suppression.

Trump’s brazen attempt to fire Governor Lisa Cook was always unlawful. And his targeting of the only Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve Board was always a racist, sexist attack. We must continue preserving the Fed’s independence from blatant political interference.

The implications of the SCOTUS ruling to allow TPS termination are nothing short of catastrophic. Seniors will lose their caregivers. Business owners will lose their staff. And children will lose their classmates. This fight is not over. The Senate must act.

The American people don’t need ballrooms, they need housing. The ROAD to Housing package—including my four bills—would tackle the housing affordability crisis head-on. We’ve passed this bill & we’re waiting on Trump to sign it into law.

Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I'm grateful to those who shared their abortion story with me & re-affirmed why abortion care is essential. Together, we're fighting for every person to have access to the care they need.

Everyone should have the freedom to marry who they love. That's why I'm grateful for every advocate who organized to make Obergefell v. Hodges possible. And I won’t stop fighting to codify true equality for our LGBTQ+ siblings.

I commanded a moment of silence on the House floor to honor the women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care. Everyday I will continue to fight for reproductive freedom in their name. Abortion care is a human right.

The reporting coming out of Venezuela is heartbreaking. I’m praying for the hundreds of people killed & those who have not been able to locate their loved ones. This disaster has destroyed lives, livelihoods, & homes. The US & our global community must provide support for the people of Venezuela.

Medicare Advantage insurers too often put profits before patients, creating barriers that can leave people without the medically necessary equipment they rely on. I’m partnering with @RepPressley to cut through the red tape and help ensure wheelchair users enrolled in Medicare Advantage can get timely repairs and maintain their independence and quality of life.

To the 1.3M TPS holders & their families: Your lives & livelihoods matter. Your humanity, dignity, & worth is not defined by the opinion of cruel, elitist, & wealthy conservatives on the Court or in the White House. America is still your home, and this fight is not over.
