As the Rosh Hashanah celebrations begin, I wish all a happy and sweet New Year filled with peace and joy. May the coming year bring blessings for you and your families. Shana Tovah.

House Democrats are fighting for bipartisan funding that protects families, keeps communities healthy, and ensures no one goes without the care they need. youtube.com/shorts/rgqXc...

Statement on H.Res.719

Kash Patel's tenure as Director of the FBI is an unmitigated disaster. The purpose of the FBI is not to serve a political circus. Americans are less safe under his watch. youtu.be/C72SJyOZt3o

Education is the key to opportunity. Our goal is to give all Americans, no matter their age, the chance to create the best possible lives for themselves and their families. I'm grateful to my colleagues for joining me in recognizing National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This month, we honor the contributions of our friends and neighbors in #GA06 to our nation’s history and culture. Our district is among the most diverse in Georgia, and I am proud to represent you in Congress.

On this 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we hold in memory those who are no longer with us, honor the courage and resilience of their families, and give sincere gratitude to the first responders who saved countless lives that day.

No matter our views or our differences, political violence has no place in our democratic process. Today's shooting on a Utah college campus is a horrific example of the current state of our country and it must be condemned. Charlie Kirk and his loved ones are in my thoughts as we await updates.

Our public health system is on life support and Secretary Kennedy is trying to pull the plug. The American people deserve better. youtu.be/dB_VXEVQ9qs

Thank you to South Fulton, GA law enforcement for your swift action. I expressed my gratitude to Sergeant Cooper and Officer Johnson on the House Floor today. youtube.com/shorts/fO69T...

First Amendment rights are under attack in our country.

Will this generation of Republican leaders pray not only for the victims, but also for the strength to end gun violence? Will this generation of Republican leadership protect their kids and grandkids from gun violence while praying, or at school, or in the grocery store, or at a parade?

House GOP Leadership just tried and FAILED to censure our colleague @replamonica.bsky.social. She was sent by the people of NJ to be their voice and has been politically targeted in a clear attempt to give more power to this President's agenda. She won’t back down, and neither will we.

The recent attempt by Georgia Republicans to fine—and even jail—Democratic election board members for refusing to seat election deniers is a dangerous escalation of political games that undermine our democracy. Those who don't respect our elections can't be trusted to oversee them.

With the school year barely underway, students have already experienced a mass shooting. In Minneapolis, two precious children who went to school this morning will never return home to their families.

The announcement made by the Trump Administration to take control of the DC police is not just dangerous for the folks who call our capital city home—it's a warning sign to every community across our country. If local government can be invaded for political gain, not one city or town is immune.

For the second year in a row, Governor Kemp cut Georgia off from federal funding meant to help low-income families feed their kids during the summer. My Democratic colleagues in Congress know that families in our state deserve better.

I am closely monitoring the situation near Emory and the CDC, and I am praying for the safety of our first responders on the scene.

As a new school year begins, I send my best wishes to every teacher, student, and family member for a wonderful academic year. The start of a new year brings limitless possibility, and as your Congresswoman, know that I am fighting hard for continued federal investment in your education.

Monday, I toured Kennesaw State University. I recently teamed up with Rep. Barry Loudermilk on an amendment to support funding for KSU's military resilience work, which includes suicide prevention resources. Support for our servicemembers and returning veterans remains a top priority for my office.

American Job Centers are pillars of federal job training programs. I stopped by the Cobb Work Source Center in Mableton to learn more about the success of their programs and how they are connecting people with opportunity.

This week, I was privileged to visit Lockheed Martin in Marietta. Lockheed employs over 680 constituents from my district alone, and I was pleased to learn about the ways in which they are helping to educate and support the workforce of the future. Thank you for having me!

60 years ago, Medicare and Medicaid became law, offering quality, affordable health care choices to millions of Americans. My Republican colleagues and President Trump recently slashed federal investment in these foundational programs, threatening the care of millions of Americans.

My statement on the recent shootings in Atlanta and New York City:

Seeing your child grow up to thrive is the goal for every parent, and that takes on another level of significance when a child has a condition that makes learning more difficult. I’m grateful to my House & Senate colleagues for joining me on this new bill—we won’t leave America’s students behind.

Together with my colleagues on the Education & Workforce Committee, I'm fighting against Republican attempts to raise health care costs and gut coverage. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, I understand how important it is to have affordable and accessible health care.

New today in the Georgia Sun 🍑 "Georgia schools will soon get some relief... This comes after strong pressure from Georgia’s Rep. Lucy McBath and other lawmakers." "The partial release shows the power of bipartisan pressure and public outcry."

I'm proud to stand up for Georgia’s students and for families across America. Today’s decision is a triumph for children who rely on these programs to learn, grow, and succeed. Every child, no matter their ZIP code, deserves access to a high-quality education. mcbath.house.gov/press-releas...

MomsRising joined @repsummerlee.bsky.social @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @mcbath.house.gov & more than 100 civil rights, public health, racial justice, housing, violence prevention, & economic justice groups to launch a #CommunitySafety Agenda. www.youtube.com/watch?v=coR2...

Five years after his death, our friend John Lewis's words ring just as true.

Our students and families deserve to have access to high-quality public education programs. No more excuses. It's past time for the Trump Administration to release the illegally withheld $7 billion in federal funding that Congress approved. youtu.be/WdE6_o4HUhk

Delighted to spend the morning at the Good Samaritan Center of Douglas County and hear about their work to keep Atlanta healthy and nourished. Thanks for having me—we appreciate all you do!

The Trump Administration Department of Education and OMB are illegally withholding $7 billion in education funding, jeopardizing the success of millions of students. I'm leading 150 House Democrats in demanding answers.

I was pleased to sit down with officials from the City of South Fulton to discuss how federal programs can support their goals and priorities. With federal funding under attack, we must uplift every opportunity to assist the cities and counties I represent. Thanks for having me, South Fulton!

Last week's budget passed by Republicans will cut food assistance to families across America. No child should worry about where their next meal will come from. I visited Agape Atlanta to help serve lunch to summer camp students and stay in touch with some of my youngest constituents.

As search and rescue efforts continue in Texas, my heart breaks for families who are grieving the loss of a loved one and for all those who have been impacted by the flood. I am grateful for the continued efforts of public safety officials working around the clock.

A message for my constituents 🖤 Despite Democrats fighting against this bill all night and all of us voting NO, the Republicans forced it through anyway. This is a sad day for our nation. And still—we press forward.

I voted NO on the Republican megabill because health care is personal to me, as it is for so many in this country. Something as sacred as our family’s health should not be used as a bargaining chip.

More than 1 in 3 people living with a disability in America rely on Medicaid. Over 700,000 Americans with disabilities are already on a waiting list for Home & Community Based Services, which are funded by Medicaid.

Georgia has one of the worst rates of maternal health in the country. Nearly half of all births in Georgia are covered by Medicaid. At a time when over 40% of Georgia counties are considered maternal health care deserts, we cannot afford these cuts.

Over a million veterans rely on SNAP benefits. These are men and women who wore our nation's uniform who now rely on public assistance programs. We have an obligation to ensure that those who served our country can count on their government to assist them in their time of need.

1 in 5 small business owners, employees, and their families are covered by Medicaid. Over half of ACA Marketplace enrollees work in small business.

This reconciliation bill cuts SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans depending on SNAP to feed their families. At a time when Georgia kids are already struggling due to the decision by our state government not to participate in the Summer EBT program, we can't afford more cuts.

Since Trump took office, the Republican majority has been pushing a budget plan that would kick millions of Americans off their health care. In Georgia alone, over 600,000 people will lose the care they need. This bill threatens the lives of my constituents. I'm voting no.

House Democrats are resolved in our fight against this disastrous bill. Overnight, we have remained on the floor, speaking up and standing out against the impacts this will have on families across America.

My colleagues and I in the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social know how detrimental this budget bill would be for the American people. We’ve been pushing back with amendments to protect health care all afternoon, and Republican House leadership is trying to push this ugly bill through.

House Republicans REFUSED my amendment to protect health care under Medicaid and food assistance under SNAP.

I’m back in DC to fight against this catastrophic bill. We only need 4 Republicans to have the courage to protect the American people and join us in voting NO. www.instagram.com/reel/DLm9iGn...

Republicans’ 'One Big Ugly Bill' is simple: tax cuts for billionaires, paid for by kicking 17 million people off their health care.
