Pride flags flying at U.S. embassies send a clear message: America stands for equality, dignity, and freedom. But last week in @houseforeign.bsky.social, every Republican voted to ban them from flying. My question is, why are they so scared of a rainbow flag? @equality.house.gov

Always appreciate the chance to meet with Texas Neurology! Their team is doing critical work treating complex conditions and supporting families across North Texas. Grateful for their insights as we work to expand access to quality care.

To the dedicated trades workers of District 32, I want you to know that I will always have your back as your representative in Congress. You keep our community connected day-in and day-out, and that’s why I’m fighting for you in Washington. #NationalTradesmenDay 🛠️

Today, Congress will vote on a partisan funding bill that fails the American people. It leaves out the ACA's health care tax credits that nearly 100,000 #TX32 constituents rely on to afford their coverage. Without these credits, premiums could spike by 106%, pricing families out of care they need.

Proud to join @repyassansari.bsky.social in introducing this resolution. Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy, and it is what sets America apart from authoritarian regimes. Trump’s attacks on free speech are dangerous. We must stand up and defend this fundamental right.

At the Bluebonnet Detention Facility, I saw neighbors who pose no threat locked up. This is cruelty. America is a nation of immigrants who contribute to our economy. We must hold Trump’s administration accountable and build an immigration system rooted in fairness and the rule of law.

Our democracy works best when everyone participates. This #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, take time to register to vote if you haven't, check your registration, and encourage your friends and family to do the same: vote.gov

#HispanicHeritageMonth is a time to celebrate the rich culture, history, and contributions of the Hispanic community—contributions that shape our neighborhoods and strengthen our economy. I’m proud to always stand with the Hispanic community in Texas and across the nation.

The American people can’t afford higher health care costs. Extending the ACA’s vital tax credits is critical. Republicans must come to the table and work with us now to pass bipartisan legislation that protects families’ access to affordable care.

The American people deserve the truth. That’s why there’s bipartisan support, including an effort in Congress, to vote on releasing the Epstein files. Americans are united on this issue, and the Epstein survivors deserve justice. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @newdems.bsky.social

As a Dallas Wings fan, I know the momentum behind women’s basketball is undeniable. But @wnba.com players get just 9% of revenue compared to ~50% in other leagues. That inequity is glaring. Congress is watching negotiations. It’s time for fairness, equity & respect.

Last week, Co-Chairs Rep. Robert Garcia, @repjuliejohnson.bsky.social, & @mcbride.house.gov led 61 Members of Congress in demanding the State Department restore data on anti-LGBTQI+ violence in the annual Human Rights Reports. Enough censorship—Secretary Rubio must restore this data!

This week, Republicans pushed through their defense policy bill with harmful anti-LGBTQ provisions. Instead of focusing on supporting servicemembers and families, they chose discrimination. I voted NO because every servicemember deserves dignity, respect, and equal treatment.

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into our daily lives, we deserve to know that what we’re seeing and hearing is the truth. @repjuliejohnson.bsky.social’s Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act offers commonsense solutions to protect voters from manipulative and misleading practices.

Republicans lecture us about morality, family values, and protecting children, but when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, they will do everything they can to protect the abusers. Release the files and give the survivors justice. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @newdems.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING🚨 I just introduced my bipartisan Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act to stop AI from misleading voters. Americans deserve to cast ballots based on truth, not deception. Protecting democracy means protecting trust in our elections. Read more: juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...

Today, on this solemn anniversary, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders who rushed toward danger to save others. May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we continue working toward a future defined by unity, resilience, and peace. 🇺🇸

What happened to Charlie Kirk has no place in our society. Political violence and the devastating cycle of gun violence in this country cannot be normalized. We must come together to condemn these vicious acts and work to keep all communities safe.

Russian drone incursions into NATO territory aren't accidents—they're calculated tests of our resolve. Putin is probing, as he did before invading Ukraine, whether we'll defend our allies—and Americans abroad—against his aggression.

It was an honor to meet with the Texas Veterans of Foreign Wars. I’m grateful for their service to our nation and their advocacy on behalf of veterans & military families. In Congress, I’ll always stand with our veterans & fight to ensure they receive the care, resources, & respect they deserve.

I visited the Bluebonnet Detention Facility, and what I learned should trouble every American. Many people being detained here aren’t criminals or threats to our communities. They’re parents, workers, students, and our neighbors who were pulled off the street and locked away.

🚨NEW BILL ALERT🚨 I joined @markey.senate.gov in introducing legislation banning foreign political fundraising events at U.S. embassies and consulates. Our diplomatic missions should serve America’s interests, not bankroll foreign campaigns. juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...

We tragically lose one life to suicide every 11 minutes. #SuicidePreventionMonth reminds us that silence can cost lives – and conversation can save them. Check in with your friends and family. If you or a loved one needs help, call, text, or chat 988. www.nami.org/Advocacy/Cri...

Today feels like a great day to exercise my constitutionally given right of congressional oversight at the Bluebonnet ICE Detention Center.

🚨Big news for #TX32🚨 I secured $15M in spending bills for 15 local projects, from safer roads to expanded health care access & more! These investments were shaped by our community, for our community. Next step: passing these bills through Congress. juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...

Texas is America’s energy state. But Republicans are trying to gut our clean energy future, raising costs for families and threatening U.S. energy leadership. I voted NO on their reckless bill. We need bipartisan solutions that strengthen energy independence, not weaken it.

Our pipelines power the nation, but they’re under constant threat. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Pipeline Security Act. Today, it passed the Homeland Security Committee. It's time for Congress to pass this bill and secure our nation's pipelines.

📢 Need help with federal agencies? Rep. Johnson’s staff is coming to you! Join us for Mobile Office Hours on Wed, 9/10 from 5:30–6:30pm at the Samuell Grand Rec Center in Dallas. We’ll be available to assist with: ✅ Passport delays ✅ Immigration ✅ Medicare ✅ Veteran Affairs ✅ Social Security ✅ IRS

🆕 RESPONSE: The Dallas Police Department responded to my inquiry about whether or not the department cooperates with ICE. North Texans deserve full transparency about how federal agencies interact with our local police — and I’ll keep pressing for answers. #dallaspolice #ICE #transparency

I met with The Senior Source in Dallas to discuss challenges facing our seniors, from rising costs to the epidemic of loneliness. We must strengthen connections, expand resources & ensure every older adult can age with dignity. We can’t leave them behind. #TX32

There are almost 88,000 #SocialSecurity recipients in Texas' 32nd Congressional District! 90 years after FDR signed Social Security into law, I am working to protect your hard-earned benefits and make sure that Trump doesn't privatize this sacred trust. #SocSec90 #TX32

Since Trump took office, Republicans have gutted Social Security services to push privatization. I joined @repstansbury.bsky.social, @neguse.house.gov & Rep. John Larson to introduce the Hands Off Our Social Security Act, protecting benefits & stopping privatization. www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

I visited Highlands Skilled Nursing for a sit-down with staff and residents. We talked about how recent Medicaid cuts are making it harder for places like Highlands to meet the needs of our seniors. I’m committed to fighting for our nursing homes so every resident can receive care they deserve.

Our communities work when everyone feels safe. Yet we see Trump making power grabs on local police, breaking that trust. I’m demanding answers from @dallaspd.bsky.social about possible civil rights violations in working with ICE. Families deserve protection. juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...

Last month, I was proud to join my House Administration Committee colleagues in helping introduce the Presidential Accountability Amendment, which reverses the Supreme Court decision that gives presidents immunity from criminal prosecution. Our democracy depends on real accountability.

On #PurpleHeartDay, we honor those wounded in service to our country, a reminder of the sacrifices made for our freedom. Our veterans deserve more than gratitude; they deserve care, support, and a fully funded VA. In Congress, I’m committed to making sure we keep that promise.

🧵Today, on the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, I'm proud to join @repnikema.bsky.social and the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus in introducing a bold package of bills to take on voter suppression head-on. 🗳️

We got a powerful letter demanding that this administration be held accountable, and they’re right. Americans deserve transparency and leadership that puts people first. I will always be a check on Trump and his cabinet to make sure they are following the law.

We love hearing from constituents, like this Texan who wrote in supporting the IDEA Full Funding Act, which I am a proud co-sponsor of. This bill, introduced by @rephuffman.bsky.social, delivers on the promise to fully fund special ed and support every student. Keep speaking up!

Happy birthday to the U.S. Coast Guard! 🇺🇸 For 235 years, the brave men and women of the @uscg.bsky.social have protected our waters, saved lives, and served with honor. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. ⚓️ #SemperParatus

Meals on Wheels Collin County is on the front lines of fighting nutrition gaps — especially for seniors who too often fall through the cracks. Grateful to see their work up close and recommit to ensuring no one in TX-32 goes hungry. #MealsOnWheels #TX32 #NorthTexasCares #JobsWithJulie

The @wnba.com is breaking records thanks to the players who make it great. I stand with them as they fight for a fair revenue share that matches the league’s growth and honors their value. When women thrive, sports thrive. @demwomencaucus.bsky.social @aflcio.org

Happy #NationalInternDay to the amazing interns who keep our #TX32 office running! From helping constituents to tackling tough policy issues, they make a real difference for Texans every day. I’m proud of their dedication — they’re the future of public service!

As we mark 60 years of Medicaid and Medicare, Trump’s budget guts these lifelines, taking health care away from families and seniors. I’ll keep fighting to protect them and make health care affordable for every Texan. #ProtectMedicare #ProtectMedicaid

🚨No Texan should fight big companies to return a product. That's why I just introduced the Easy Returns Act to make returns simple, fair, and transparent, so families keep more money in their pockets. Our consumers deserve better.

Yesterday, I volunteered with Meals on Wheels Collin County! Volunteers are the heart of this agency, so I helped provide assistance and warm meals to seniors who otherwise would not have the means to acquire them. #JobsWithJulie #MealsOnWheels #TX32

📣 We’re bringing our office to you in Balch Springs this Sat, Aug 9th, from 11 AM - 1 PM to help with federal casework like: ✔️ Social Security ✔️ Medicare ✔️ Veterans benefits ✔️ Immigration And more! This is your chance to get help—no appointment needed. #tx32 #officehours #congressonyourcorner

Last week, Governor Abbott reconvened the Texas Legislature in a special session to redraw Texas’ Congressional districts. According to public reporting, there are plans to redraw the maps to create fewer Democratic districts in Texas.
