They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.

Ghislaine Maxwell has made it abundantly clear that she will continue protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers until she is granted clemency by Donald Trump. She doesn’t care about the crimes that she has committed and is completely unremorseful.

Surprised? No. Distracted? Also no. We know who Donald Trump is. He has proven himself time and time again. We will not be distracted — especially not from the fact that he is all up and through the Epstein files.

Following ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, we do not need another massive ICE detention facility. ICE has caused enough harm to our communities. 
They have proven they cannot be trusted to operate detention facilities safely or transparently. Head to crockett.house.gov/media.

Republicans are in here cosplaying as protectors of women and children, but they were silent when Renee Good was killed, willingly voted to cut SNAP, and are now sitting by as ICE rips children away from their families. Miss me with the selective outrage.

ICE has caused enough hell over the past 378 days since Trump has taken office. Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. Unqualified ICE agents have been killing U.S. citizens and terrorizing our communities. (1/2)

This year marks 100 years of celebrating Black history. Now more than ever, it is critical that we teach our history, preserve our history, and continue to make history. Black history is American history.
 Happy Black History Month.

When I saw Liam at the Dilley Detention Center, something was clearly wrong. He was lethargic, not eating, and depressed. Thankfully, Liam and his dad are back home in Minneapolis with their family. No child should ever endure this. We will not stop until this cruelty ends.

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis. That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

The Trump Administration is obsessed with protecting pedophiles. After failing to comply with the subpoena and withholding over 50% of the Epstein files, the Trump DOJ just removed parts of the Epstein files that include mention of Donald Trump. (1/2)

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution. They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists — while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti. That’s authoritarian bullshit.

No parent should ever be denied the chance to bury their child. This is not enforcement. It is cruelty. I will continue to use my voice and oversight authority to demand accountability and a system rooted in basic humanity.

The Trump Administration is full of liars. Full stop. People are following the law, showing up to court, and are still being detained without explanation. This is not law enforcement — it’s racism and abuse of power.

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center. No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention. What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center. My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

I am disgusted and outraged by the attack on Rep. Omar tonight while she was doing her job & meeting with constituents. Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump & his allies has fueled this type of violence. I stand with Rep. Omar. I stand with Minnesota. This must stop.

ICE is a threat to public safety. Killing U.S. citizens. Kidnapping Americans. Ignoring the Constitution. That’s not law enforcement — that’s weaponization and abuse of power. And the cruelty starts at the top.

ICE just killed another person in Minneapolis. This is absolutely sickening. Donald Trump needs to get his unqualified, untrained, violent agents the hell out of Minnesota IMMEDIATELY.

Today was about letting the people see the difference between noise and credibility. Jack Smith had the facts and stood on business, while others focused on distractions instead of substance.

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade—a ruling that affirmed women’s right to have control over our own bodies. Four years ago, a MAGA-influenced Supreme Court overturned it. Women now have fewer rights, and many have died after being denied essential reproductive healthcare. (1/2)

There’s no way I could vote to give ICE more money. Let’s be clear: ICE is now one of the wealthiest law enforcement agencies in this country, and they continue to prove they are ineffective and unqualified. (1/2)

Why are we acting surprised?
Dozens of allegations. 34 convictions. No respect for the Constitution.
And we’re supposed to believe January 6th was a bridge too far??

For far too long, the federal government has operated immigration flights without full transparency. These ghost flights are tearing families apart, leaving loved ones in the dark, and giving immigration agencies free rein to act without oversight, transparency, and justice.

Republicans only care about “following the rules” when they can weaponize them. But the second it cuts both ways, they go mute. Pam Bondi and the DOJ have failed to comply with the subpoena and discharge petition — and y’all have nothing but excuses for them.

One year into Trump’s second term and life hasn’t gotten any more affordable for everyday Americans. Groceries? Up.
Rent? Up.
Inflation? Up.
Tariffs? Through the roof. (1/2)

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom. That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.

Happy Founders’ Day to the women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. For 106 years, Zetas have led with scholarship, service, sisterhood, and finer womanhood — uplifting communities and shaping generations of leaders.

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

Congratulations to the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. on 118 years of scholarship, service, and sisterhood. Your commitment to leadership and community continues to make an impact.

Trump keeps yelling “insurrection” in Minnesota like he forgot January 6 — the one he actually incited. Terrorizing communities and calling in troops isn’t law and order. It’s authoritarianism.

Today is the last day for ACA open enrollment. Senate Republicans had every chance this week to extend ACA tax credits and chose not to — while families are stretching every dollar just to make ends meet. Healthcare should never be a luxury in America.

Many of the January 6 insurrectionists want to cry “woe is me,” but they were literally convicted of crimes — and some are even considered white supremacists. I’m confused as to why we’re still debating conspiracy theories versus facts.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

113 years later and Delta women are still on the frontlines — organizing, advocating, serving, and leading. I am beyond thankful for this amazing sisterhood, and the legacy that we continue to build! Happy Founders Day to my Sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc! 🔺

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

If you’re looking for champions, look to TX-30! I was honored to celebrate South Oak Cliff and DeSoto High School Football teams on the House floor for their incredible championship seasons. Go Bears and go Eagles!

Congratulations to the men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. on 112 years of brotherhood, scholarship, and service. Your legacy continues to make an impact.

Last month, House Democrats forced a vote to extend the ACA tax credits for three years—and today, it passed. Millions of families depend on these tax credits to afford healthcare. (1/2)

Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen. This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies. This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

If Republicans REALLY cared about fraud, they’d start with the billions being funneled to donors, billionaires, and Trump’s businesses—instead of using hearings to distract us while they rip healthcare from working families.

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman Doug LaMalfa. I extend my condolences to his family, loved ones, staff, and constituents as they grieve this loss. Wishing them comfort and strength during this time.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a free and fair election he lost. Calling it anything else is a lie. (1/2)

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval. People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is. This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

Happy New Year, TX-30! A new year, but the work and my commitment to you remain the same. I’ll keep speaking truth to power, fighting for the people, and holding this administration’s feet to the fire.
