I spoke with one of my constituents whose employees are seeing their health insurance premiums SKYROCKET! Trump and Republicans created this mess. They need to work with us to fix it!

Last night, voters across the nation spoke loud and clear. They want leaders who will lower costs and fight on behalf of the American people. Republicans should take note. It’s time for them to come to table and negotiate a bipartisan bill to protect health care, fund SNAP, and reopen government!

I met with Head Start leaders from across our district about how this government shutdown is impacting early childhood education in Alabama. We need a bipartisan agreement to end this shutdown, lower health care costs, and fully fund our Head start programs. Our children are counting on us!

This president has lost his mind! The fact that he would defy court orders in order to starve hungry families is sickening. Mr. President, follow the law, do your job, and release the SNAP funds!!!

I applaud Mayor Woodfin and the Birmingham City Council for taking action to keep families fed during this SNAP crisis. I was proud to offer my support for the $1 million allocation during today’s city council meeting.

With SNAP benefits at risk for millions of families, I convened a roundtable with community leaders in Tuscaloosa about how we can work together to stand in the gap. In these trying times, it’s great to see our community stepping up in a big way to help those in need.

We are in a full-blown health care crisis of Donald Trump’s making. While billionaires celebrate new tax breaks, hard working Alabamians are about to see their annual premiums skyrocket. We need Congressional Republicans to come to the negotiating table and stop this madness!

🚨 Part 1 of our newest episode of Terri Talks will air TOMORROW at 3PM! Join me for a conversation about the rural health care crisis with Rural Health Medical Program CEO Keshee Dozier-Smith. Streaming on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X!

Nearly a quarter of families in our district rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Mr. President, do your job! Release the emergency SNAP funds!

Republicans are trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act and raise health care costs for millions of Americans. I’m talking with my constituents about why we can’t let that happen!

Grateful for the opportunity to speak with the Alabama A&M Board of Trustees this morning!

So grateful for the opportunity to bring greetings to the Alabama Black Women’s Roundtable Annual Classic Luncheon—especially when we’re talking about something as important as Black women in leadership!

I had a wonderful time speaking with the Alabama Conference of Black Mayors as we kick off #MagicCityClassic week!

Trump can't find a penny to help Americans struggling to afford health care, but he has no problem sending billions of Americans' taxpayer dollars to Argentina to bail out his wealthy friends and political allies. @replindasanchez.bsky.social and I are demanding answers.

Republican Shutdown Day 21. House Republicans are still on vacation and President Trump is gutting the White House for his $250 million ballroom. Unbelievable!

Access to quality, affordable health care should be a right for ALL, not a privilege for a the few!!!

Special thanks to everyone who joined tonight’s Telephone Town Hall! More than 6,000 people participated from across our district. Listen to the full event here! 👇🏾 www.facebook.com/share/v/176H...

Stop the lies. Save health care. End the shutdown.

My statement marking two years since the horrific October 7 attack.

Trump and Congressional Republicans are shutting down the government in order to continue taking health care away from the American people. To keep you informed, my office has compiled answers to frequently asked questions. 👇🏾 sewell.house.gov/shutdown

House Democrats will not rubber-stamp the Republican assault on our health care system. We’re fighting to cancel the cuts, lower the cost, and save health care!

We are hours away from a government shutdown and Republicans just CLOSED DOWN the House instead of working with us to keep government open!

The government shuts down tonight. House Republicans are on vacation. Democrats are here in Washington ready to work. Let’s come together to keep government open and protect Americans’ health care!!!

My statement on the Charlie Kirk resolution.

Despite controlling the House, Senate, and White House, Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have once again failed to do their job and fund the government. My full statement.

Had a great time speaking with these awesome young leaders in the Jack and Jill program alongside Senator Cory Booker! They give me hope for a bright future! ✨

Our Multi-Cancer Early Detection Act would save lives by ensuring seniors have access to the latest cancer screening technology. I commend my colleagues on the Ways and Means Committee for passing it unanimously today!

BIG NEWS: The Nancy Gardner Sewell Multi-Cancer Early Detection Act just passed unanimously in the Ways and Means Committee! 🙌🏾 We are one giant step closer to getting it signed into law and giving our seniors their best chance at catching cancer early.

Great morning rallying with cancer advocates from Alabama and across the nation in support of the Nancy Gardner Sewell MCED Act! What a befitting tribute to my late mother to spend her birthday fighting for greater access to cancer screenings. Special thanks to the @acscan.bsky.social volunteers!

Happy heavenly birthday to my beloved mother, Nancy Gardner Sewell! Gone but never forgotten. 💕

We must never forget the legacy of the #FourLittleGirls.

Chef Michael Glenn was an amazing caterer and friend. The food he prepared was as exquisite as the beautiful attire he wore in which to serve his curated creations. Sending my condolences to his family and the great many friends who mourn his passing. 🙏🏾

On this day in 1963, four precious little girls were killed when white supremacists bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. We must never forget the price they paid for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Today we remember the lives lost and the heroism displayed on September 11, 2001. The atrocities of 9/11 changed our nation forever, but our spirit and resolve were never broken. We will #NeverForget.

Trump and his enablers are trying to rig the next election by redrawing congressional maps and diluting the power of Black and minority voters. I joined my colleagues of @cbc.house.gov to speak out against their authoritarian power grab.

Our rural communities will be hit hardest by Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

Amazing turnout for our Rural Roundtable in Sumter County! Great discussion on farming, healthcare & other issues impacting rural Alabama. Thanks to the Federation of Southern Cooperatives for hosting and giving us a tour. Proud to be a strong advocate for farmers & rural communities in Washington!

REMINDER: I'm hosting a Rural Community Roundtable tomorrow in Sumter County. Join us for an important discussion about the issues impacting rural Alabama including tariffs, farming, health care, food assistance and more!

No amount of rebranding will change the fact that Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” kicks 17 million people off health care in order to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. The American people are not stupid. They will not forget this betrayal!

My statement on the decision to locate Space Command headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama.

We're bringing our "Congress in Your Community" Tour to Sumter County this Friday. Join us for a conversation about the issues impacting Alabama’s rural communities. We hope to see you there! 👋🏾
