Libraries do much more than lend books; they kindle our dreams & open us up to opportunities. The #TrumpBudget ’s proposal to eliminate the Institute for Museum and Library Services is unacceptable. Congress must ensure that we fund libraries & all of the services they provide.

Today we celebrate #Juneteenth and reflect upon the end of slavery on this day in 1865. Juneteenth is a reminder that while our nation has made tremendous progress, we must continue to work to ensure freedom, equality, and justice for all.

Allegations of election fraud and foul play by GOP campaign operatives in NC’s 9th Congressional District are extremely troubling. Congressional GOP should join us in demanding a thorough investigation and that every vote is counted.

The racist, sexist, & xenophobic posts outlined in this reporting are unacceptable. CBP must treat everyone—from a refugee seeking asylum to a Member of Congress—with dignity and respect. This reporting raises serious concerns, and CBP must hold their agents to account.

I am horrified and heartbroken by the news coming out of Sri Lanka. Hate and terror have no place in houses of worship. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. May God watch over them.

My heart is heavy to learn of the passing of Toni Morrison. Her award-winning words brought life to the African-American experience & provided the sometimes hard truths about what it means to be a part of that legacy. My thoughts and prayers are with her family & loved ones.

Today, @HouseDemocrats voted to condemn the Trump Administration’s campaign in the courts to take away Americans’ healthcare. We will continue the fight to ensure all Americans have access to the lifesaving healthcare they need. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

I am deeply concerned about reports that the Trump Administration plans to target migrant families for deportation - including families in Baltimore. Families will be separated, which is unacceptable and immoral. The Administration must reverse course.

Mr. President, this shutdown has gone on for far too long. The American people deserve to have their government back at work for them, and federal employees deserve their pay. Our government must be better than this!

As we mark day 32 of the Trump shutdown, the operation of agencies and programs that keep Americans safe, housed, and fed continue to be put in peril. And, more than 800,000 federal employees still have not been paid. It is far past time for the President to #EndTheShutdown .

We must be better than this. Since the President refuses to end his child separation policy, we have introduced legislation to do so. Many of my Republican colleagues have said they oppose child separation, now is the time for them to act. Join us in supporting this bill.

Members of Virginia's African American community deserve better from the head of their Commonwealth. I join those who say Governor Northam should leave. In this day and age, we cannot afford to have someone who wore blackface or represents the KKK be Governor of a state.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. 9 years ago, we passed the #ACA to ensure every American has access to healthcare. I'm proud to cosponsor the #MedicareforAll Act to further our efforts. No deductibles, no co-pays. Just quality healthcare for every single American. #M4A

In 2019, it is outrageous that on average full-time working women earn just 80 cents for every dollar a man earns. Today, the House passed the #PaycheckFairnessAct to strengthen protections against gender-based wage discrimination. Men and women deserve #EqualPayForEqualWork .
