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.

Over 3,000 innocent people have been killed in Lebanon by the Israeli military & over a million displaced. We are talking about children, elders, & loved ones. I urge my colleagues to support Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's War Powers Resolution on the floor this week & act to end this war now.

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.

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.

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.

Trump and Republicans want to take America back to pre-Reconstruction. They want to silence Black votes, restrict our fundamental freedoms, and dilute our representation. But we’ll continue to organize, mobilize, fight, and vote for our full rights and citizenship.

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.

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.

Some Republicans would rather Black Americans pick cotton than pick their Congressperson. They want politicians to decide who their voters are, instead of the voters determining who their Representatives are. We must use every tool available to defend the sacred right to vote.

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.

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.

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: I took to the House floor to force a vote on extending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. We won the first important vote in this process, and now we're a step closer to getting this done. The House must move with urgency and pass this legislation without delay.

.Congressman 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.

Today, I reviewed some of the classified Epstein files. They were disturbing and hard to review—but even harder for survivors to have experienced. The DOJ must follow the law and release the files in FULL, with protections for survivors. Our march towards healing, transparency, & accountability continues.
