Fascist attacks on museums are not just about history, they're an assault on truth itself. That’s why Trump is working overtime to turn our museums into instruments of MAGA propaganda. He’s pressuring the Smithsonian to remove, whitewash, & rewrite our stories. But we won’t allow it.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DEI policies have supported women in every aspect of their lives. That’s why Republicans are hellbent on emboldening greater discrimination & dismantling civil rights protections. Congress must codify gender equality & pass my bill to make the ERA the law of the land.

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.

.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.
