Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)

The Conscience of the Congress since 1971 ✊🏿. Advocating for issues important to Black Americans.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision was a direct attack on Black political power and fair representation in America.

Republicans are scrambling to rig congressional maps in their favor because they know the only way they can hold onto power is by cheating.

We’re not backing down—we’re fighting back.

[Congressman Troy A. Carter @RepTroyCarter]

Black representation matters now more than ever.

Despite Trump’s hate-filled efforts to quash the political power and voices of Black communities, still we rise. We're fighting to build a better democracy for everyone and restore the rule of law, expand access to healthcare, increase food assistance, expand voting rights, and more.

Today, we honor the courage, service, and sacrifice of all who have worn our nation’s uniform, including the generations of Black veterans whose contributions have helped shape our country.

Happy Veterans Day!

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

Happy Veterans Day. 

Today and every day, we are grateful for those who have answered the call to defend our nation's freedom. 

House Democrats will always fight for those who have served our country.

[Congressman Troy A. Carter @RepTroyCarter]

It’s so hard to say goodbye. 🥹💙🌊

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

IMPEACH HEGSETH.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

House Democrats have won 258 seats and counting.

This is the largest majority that any party has had this century.

News of our demise was greatly exaggerated.

Too big to rig.

Thank you, America.

The Congressional Black Caucus honors the extraordinary life and legacy of Dolores Huerta, a towering figure in the labor and civil rights movements. Her tireless advocacy for farmworkers, women, and immigrant families helped transform our nation and continues to inspire the fight for justice, equality, and dignity for all.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Dolores Huerta, who founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, changing laws and the lives of thousands of laborers, died on Wednesday at 96. A skilled organizer, she coordinated walkouts and negotiated pathbreaking contracts with agribusiness. https://t.co/9PsCBrwHlI

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

Black workers are facing a shameful crisis of high unemployment that has everything to do with Trump's racist & fiscally irresponsible economic policies.

But this isn't just a crisis for Black workers—it’s an alarming indicator of the state of our economy.

The Fed must act NOW.

[Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester @SenLBR]

Nearly 100,000 Americans lose their lives to blood clots each year— my husband Charles was one of them. This is a serious diagnosis that should be treated with caution and care.

My prayers are with @JalenHurts and his family. I’m wishing him the best for a speedy recovery.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

The Trump Administration’s case against Congresswoman Omar has no legal basis.

If they’re willing to target an elected member of Congress, imagine what they’re doing to people without the platform to fight back.

When Democrats reclaim the majority in Congress, we will hold this administration accountable for its abuses of power.

[Congressman Troy A. Carter @RepTroyCarter]

After cutting SNAP benefits by the billions, the Trump Administration is now forcing states to foot EVEN MORE of the bill for food assistance. It’s highway robbery, and we won’t stand for it.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement:

“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

The raid carried out this morning at the home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar by the Trump Administration is a sham designed to cast suspicion on the Congresswoman and manufacture an appearance of wrongdoing on the eve of the midterm elections, without any apparent legal basis.

Our statement:

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

Dr. Lisa Cook is a highly respected economist, and the facts and the law are on her side.

President Trump has no legal basis to remove her from the Federal Reserve. No amount of political theater changes that.

This is a blatant attempt to politicize the Fed and undermine its independence. Our nation’s central bank must remain free from political interference.

[ABC News @ABC]

JUST IN: President Trump has announced that the White House has formed a committee to investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud, which she denies. https://t.co/EyrgM7eVMn

The Congressional Black Caucus, in lockstep with partners in the civil rights community, will continue fighting to get ICE and Customs and Border Protection off our streets.

[Rep. Yvette D. Clarke @RepYvetteClarke]

ICE brings despair and violence to every city its agents invade. New York will not be safe as long as a single one of these cruel thugs remains in our communities, and we will not have justice until all those who nearly murdered a New Yorker and his child are prosecuted for their sick crime.

We demand ICE gets out, and stays out. Immediately.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Deeply disturbed by reports that ICE agents shot a man in the Bronx today while a child was in the vehicle.

The rogue behavior must be fully and independently investigated by state and local authorities.

Any reckless wrongdoer found to have broken the law must be held accountable.

Opal Lee, known as the “grandmother of Juneteenth,” celebrated her 100th birthday by kicking off construction of a museum in her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, dedicated to the history of Juneteenth, the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. https://t.co/wRqqyKjWHd
