Workers & families are struggling to afford a home, buy food, raise their kids, pay their utility bills, & more. And they deserve a government that’s going to make their life easier—not harder. But that's exactly what's happening under Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe. My heart is with the victim, her loved ones, & the Minnesota community.

BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with Ed Markey to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents. This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.

Today we filed contempt charges against Pam Bondi for refusing to testify about the Epstein files coverup. 45 mins later, the GOP announced her appearance date. We'll keep pushing for accountability. Whether you’re a politician, prince or president—a reckoning is on the way.

Transgender people deserve the same chance to thrive and live fulfilling lives as everyone else. Shame on Republicans for trying to strip away healthcare from vulnerable children. And shame on anyone who votes to deny care to families trying to do right by their kids.

Republicans’ “anti-DEI” bill is a disgrace. On one hand, it says that racism doesn't exist. On the other hand, it says there’s rampant “reverse racism." This is the unserious work of the Republican Party. P.S. they should keep MLK’s name out their mouth.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

The House passed our extension of TPS for Haiti with a 224 vote victory of Democrats & Republicans alike. This has been a long-fought battle to defend our Haitian neighbors & our communities, and we're not letting up. The Senate must take action without delay.

Today, we heard harrowing stories from survivors of Epstein's abuse. Epstein is dead, but the hurt & harm he caused is alive and well. We'll keep pushing for accountability, including a public Congressional hearing with survivors and the release of the full Epstein files.

BREAKING: After weeks of organizing, we have reached the majority necessary to force a vote to extend Haiti TPS. Thank you to our coalition and everyone fighting for this critical lifeline for the 350,000 Haitian nationals. Our neighbors are so deserving.

Right now, more than 350,000 Haitians in the US face the threat of losing Temporary Protected Status. It is cruel, unlawful, & life-threatening. This week, we're forcing the House to vote on extending TPS for Haiti. This is good policy, good for families, & good for America.

.Jamaal Bowman is a champion for students, a lifelong educator, a duly elected member of Congress, & a strong Black man. This censure is just the latest in this chamber's shameful history of telling Black and brown folks they don't belong in Congress.

Trump's termination of Haiti TPS robbed Pierre Damas Bel of his humanity, stripped him of his dignity, and inflicted mental trauma that became too much to bear. He should be alive today. Let's honor his memory by doing everything we can to save lives and extend TPS for Haiti.

Trump Accounts—as currently implemented—could worsen the racial wealth gap & make inequality worse. To be expected from an Admin that's getting rich while making workers & families poorer. That’s why I’m pushing for our Baby Bonds bill—to ensure EVERY child can grow & prospers.

The Black unemployment rate is alarmingly high, and our entire economy suffers as a result. When Black workers lose, everyone loses. That's why I demanded Fed Chair Warsh uphold the Federal Reserve’s mandate of maximum employment for ALL workers, especially Black workers.
