Today, Republicans are trying to bring back a de facto poll tax in the form of the SAVE Act. I’m not surprised and here’s why I voted No:

Trump’s tariffs are a massive tax increase and an economic disaster. Prices are up, manufacturing jobs are down. Make it make sense. Republicans know they’re a mistake but are terrified of upsetting the Dear Leader. I’m not. I just voted to overturn Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

Now that's what I'm talking about!   NE Ohio pride is alive and well thanks to Laila Edwards, a Cleveland Heights native, who just became the FIRST Black woman to score an Olympic goal for Team USA.   Congratulations Laila! thegrio.com/2026/02/11/l...

Trump’s economy isn’t working for working people. The latest jobs report shows that last year was one of the weakest for jobs in decades, with the WSJ saying the manufacturing job loss was “worse than we thought”. stateline.org/2026/02/11/j...

Another L for the lawless Trump White House – as a Grand Jury rejected Trump’s baseless and dangerous attempt to indict six Members of Congress. A loss for Trump, a win for free speech and our democracy. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Ghislaine Maxwell knows what's in the Epstein Files, but she stayed silent about the men who raped & trafficked women & kids.   Why? What is she hiding? Who is she protecting?   But with Trump giving her special treatment in a low-security prison, she has no reason to cooperate.

You’re invited to my State of the District on Feb 12 at the Arnold Pinkney East Professional Center  (1349 E 79th St., Cleveland, OH 44103) to hear how my office is fighting back.   Registration required: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

I am DISGUSTED by Trump’s attack on the Obamas and Black Americans, but am I surprised? Of course not. But I refuse to let him ruin Black History Month. 1/2

Trump has got his back against the wall.   That's the only reason why he is willing to go to extreme lengths to distract and deflect from the Epstein files.   But here's the thing- The DOJ STILL hasn't released all the files...   Release ALL the files NOW. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What an absolutely disgusting and disgraceful post by Trump. But this is who he has always been: racist to his core and rotten in his soul. Good people everywhere should stand up and reject this.

Don't forget that Trump and the Republicans signature legislation in 2025 was passing a law that cut health care and food assistance to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and a slush fund for ICE. A total disaster on every level.

Proud to announce my office secured over $12.5 million dollars in funding for 14 projects in NE Ohio, supporting infrastructure, social services, parks, and public safety. No matter who is in the White House, I am committed to delivering real results for our district.

Trump’s Big Ugly Law — which I voted against — created new requirements for SNAP benefits. Here’s what you need to know:

I voted NO on funding ICE.

I'm headed to the floor right now to vote NO on funding for ICE and DHS. The current situation is a disgrace, and I refuse to fund it for even two more weeks.

We are not playing with this administration. Today, we pulled up to ICE's headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem be fired immediately. And if not- she should be impeached.

I said what I said. Trump's ICE will not get away with their lawlessness. We will fight until they are held accountable.

I just spoke about Springfield, our Haitian neighbors, and the hate and racism motivating Trump’s mass deportation plans. Minutes later, a judge blocked the White House plan to end TPS status for thousands of Haitians in Ohio. 1/2

A win for Ohio families and a LOSS for Donald Trump. I'll take that every time.

Very worried that Trump will send in an ICE surge to Ohio for mass deportations of Haitians who came here LEGALLY.   Instead of ICE raids and mass deportations, we need to extend TPS status.   I joined @wassermanschultz.house.gov’s amendment to the spending bill to extend TPS for Haitians.

He's saying the quiet part out loud folks...   Trump’s agenda is a disaster and the country is over it.   That’s why his plan has been to rig the maps, spread more lies, and now, take over elections.   Our democracy is under threat.

Proud to honor the life of Alex Pretti tonight with our brothers and sisters in AFGE and Cleveland AFL CIO at Stokes VA. Alex was a VA nurse who dedicated his life to others. We carry on his legacy by demanding justice and an end to ICE abuse.

Trump’s immigration policies are a moral failure and a public safety threat. Ohio communities, churches, and schools shouldn’t have to “brace” for a surge of federal agents with a political agenda.

Trump’s Department of Injustice has: ➡️ Arrested Journalist Don Lemon ➡️ Blocked Investigations into the Killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti ➡️ Refuses to Release the Epstein Files Unconstitutional, immoral and 100% unjust. It’s time to wake up to what the Dictator on Day One is doing.

Don Lemon’s work is protected by the First Amendment. This arrest is chilling, outrageous, and wrong. He should be released immediately. Trump DOJ is completely out of control.

New work requirements are coming to SNAP due to Trump's Big Ugly Law, aka tax cuts for the rich, benefit cuts for everyday people. Click here for information on who is impacted and what you need to know. signalcleveland.org/snap-changes...

Trump’s agenda is lethal. 2025 was the deadliest year of ICE operations in over 20 years – and this year they’re on pace for even more deaths. After voting NO on funding and calling for Noem’s impeachment, I'm joining colleagues demanding answers about these alarming numbers.

Thousands of Haitians living in Ohio are here legally. But now, Trump is stripping them of their legal status in the same week that he plans to deploy ICE to Springfield, leaving them with no defense. Here is the Trump Playbook: 1/5

Brutal cold, rising prices, and cuts to SNAP have made this a hard winter for a lot of folks in NE Ohio. This week, I visited the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to meet with staff, thank volunteers, and hear more about how people are doing. (1/2)

Trump LIED when he said he had nothing to do with Project 2025.   He LIED when he said he wouldn't execute its agenda.    Now, ICE/DHS- at his direction- is carrying out Project 2025's anti-immigrant, anti-rights agenda line by line.   Surprising? I think not.

Appalled by the attack on Rep. Omar – this is what happens when hateful rhetoric is unleashed non-stop, including from the White House. We have to all stand united in condemning this. Grateful for the response at the scene and continually impressed by the strength of Rep. Omar.

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is the blueprint for what civic leadership should look like. From being the first woman to lead the EEOC to organizing the March on Washington, she embodies what it means to be a champion of civil rights. I wish her all the best in her retirement!

Bovino has been a disaster and he must be held accountable. But he is far from alone in the effort to deploy ICE against American cities. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Don't buy the White House effort to use Gregory Bovino as a fall guy for weeks of violence, mayhem and abuse in Minneapolis. It starts at the very top. Trump called for "reckoning & retribution" and days later Alex Pretti was killed.

Good. Trump's ICE has been out of control from the get-go, and we all know it. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Northeast Ohio wants no part of Trump’s lawless, reckless, and dangerous ICE agenda. Not here. Not in Minnesota. Not anywhere. Proud to join the vigil in Cleveland Heights to remember those killed and to vow to keep fighting Trump’s ICE. The attacks on our communities must end.

No amount of cold, snow or ICE can stop us in NE Ohio. I was proud to stand with constituents tonight in Cleveland Heights for a vigil honoring victims of ICE. (1/2)

Please read what Alex Pretti’s parents have said. Do not listen to the lies.

The lawlessness of Trump's ICE is exactly how democracies slide into fascism: first masks, then lies, and now violence against anyone who dissents. ICE isn't enforcing law- it's enforcing fear. This cannot continue Congress must act NOW. www.axios.com/2026/01/25/t...

I voted NO on funding ICE and CBP. Here's what must also happen next.

I voted against funding ICE and CBP last week. There is no way the Senate can fund this lawless and violent ICE. In a just world they wouldn't get a single vote or a single cent.

Nothing but lies, smears, and escalation from Trump and Noem.    They don't want us to see what is clear: Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal law enforcement    I voted against funding ICE last week. Not one cent for agencies that terrorize our communities.

Your regular reminder that Trump's Big Ugly Law cut $187 billion from SNAP, while sending $170 billion to DHS for immigration enforcement. We need to repeal the ICE slush fund now.

I feel sick watching the videos. We all can see what happened to Alex Pretti with our own eyes. And again, the Trump administration went straight to lying and slander, just like they did with Renee Good. We can and must stop this public safety and moral crisis.

This letter from Bondi gives the game away. Minneapolis was never about unrest, fraud or immigration—it was always about using fear and terror to grab power. And now they are using the threat of state violence to strong arm their way into election interference. www.newsweek.com/pam-bondi-ic...

Trump’s lawless ICE agents just brutally killed another person in Minnesota. The Trump-caused mayhem never should have started and must end immediately. ICE needs to get out of Minnesota now. And Congress needs to impeach Noem and block funding for this disgrace.

Do you know how many of the Epstein files Trump has released since Congress passed legislation requiring him to do so? 1%... I smell a coverup.
