Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

Unapologetic Congresswoman fighting for justice for all. Proudly representing Michigan’s 12th District in the People’s House.

Trump just requested a $1.5 TRILLION military budget.

Last year, he cut $1 trillion from your health care—the largest cut in American history. But magically found $1.5 TRILLION for death and destruction.

This is deranged.

My statement on today's vote on the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Lebanon can't wait.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The people of Lebanon can't wait another month for Congress to act. Every day that we do nothing, 11 more Lebanese children are killed or injured by the Israeli military in this U.S.-supported invasion. Congress must pass today's Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

[Al Jazeera Breaking News @AJENews]

BREAKING Lebanon’s health ministry says the death toll from the Israeli attacks on Lebanon rises to 3,526, with 10,733 people wounded since March 2.

We must end U.S. participation in the Israeli apartheid regime's invasion of Lebanon. The Israeli military continues to target journalists like Amal Khalil and use our tax dollars to commit war crimes. I urge my colleagues to vote YES on today's Lebanon War Powers resolution.

From North Lake to Delaney Hall, ICE and their for-profit contractors are committing horrific acts of violence and depravity against our neighbors.

These torture facilities must be shut down, those responsible prosecuted, and ICE abolished.

She reported a sexual assault at North Lake. ICE deported her before the investigation was over. https://t.co/G52figymGk

Pride started as a protest born from resistance to injustice. As we kick off Pride Month, I’m honored to celebrate the spirit of Pride by continuing to fight for LGBTQI+ equality in the halls of Congress with my @EqualityCaucus colleagues while standing with advocates at home.

The genocide in Gaza continues, and there is no ceasefire. Netanyahu is openly announcing the military takeover of 70 percent, and ultimately all, of Gaza. Four more children in Gaza were killed by U.S.-funded Israeli bombs yesterday. No more excuses: Arms Embargo now.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🚨Israel’s PM Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip

Netanyahu: “At this point, we are fully in control of 60% of the territory of the Gaza Strip… and my directive is to get to… 70%”

Audience member: “100! 100!”

Netanyahu: “Wait, let’s go in order. First 70%. Let’s start with that.”

Israel had withdrawn to 53% of Gaza after the ceasefire brokered by the US last October, but has steadily expanded control to over 60%, maps show.

I pray that this Eid Al Adha, our Muslim families find peace during this difficult time where hate is growing. Let this Eid bring us closer together and grow the love among our neighbors.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

This decision is beyond cruelty. The Trump administration is trying to cut off all possible immigration pathways and tear apart our immigrant families. This Administration's racist actions are inhumane and we must stop funding this fascist army.

This is a radical change to immigration policy, forcing anyone applying for a green card to leave the country indefinitely, forget whether they have American kids, spouse, etc.

The talking point that we do want legal immigration, we just want people to get in line and follow the rules, is BS. This is an attempt to blow up the line, blow up the rules, and make it insanely difficult to immigrate legally.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Yesterday, our communities came together to show our love for our service members and their families.

We paused to acknowledge those who lost their lives, and we were reminded that words aren’t enough. We must take action to support our veterans.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Over 3,000 killed. This mass murder must end. The U.S. is not a bystander in the Israeli military's brutal invasion of Lebanon—it is an active participant.

I will force a vote in Congress to immediately end all U.S. participation in this illegal and immoral war on Lebanon.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The fact that the U.S. has one of the highest child poverty rates among wealthy nations is a political choice and a moral failure. @RepSaraJacobs and I are introducing the Ending Child Poverty Resolution because our children deserve more, and Congress must invest in their future.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

300,000 families will lose access to lifesaving care at Michigan Medicine if a deal isn't reached soon with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Please read my friend Andrew's story about his son.

We need to take the profit motive out of healthcare and put patients before corporate greed.

Trump's EPA wants to poison you. Rolling back PFAS tap water protections puts all of us at risk so that his campaign donors can take home even bigger profits. Caving to chemical companies and water utilities is a shameful - and illegal - betrayal. https://t.co/IlAdEUqLLq

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Amin, Mansour, and Nader should be with their families today. Instead, their loved ones and community are left with unimaginable grief.

Islamophobia and the dehumanization of Muslims enabled this tragedy. We must confront this deep-seated hate wherever it shows up.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

I am praying for all the families at the Islamic Center of San Diego. My heart breaks every time senseless violence shatters the safety all of our communities deserve.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Happy 61st birthday to Head Start! For decades, Head Start has helped millions of children learn, grow, and thrive. Congress should build on that success by passing the Head Start for America's Children Act to expand access to more than 11 million eligible children nationwide.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Our government always finds money for death and destruction, but never to invest in housing for our communities. On any given night, in the richest country on Earth, 771,000 of our neighbors are unhoused. We must pass the Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights.
