Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

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

I introduced the Lebanon TPS Act because the safety of our neighbors cannot be left up to the whims of Trump & Stephen Miller.

Without TPS, our neighbors are at risk of being deported to Lebanon, where the US-backed Israeli invasion has already killed over 4,000 people this year.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Trump cannot and will not bully the American people.

Come January, he and his corrupt allies will be investigated. #LawyerUp

Ranking Member @RepRobertGarcia statement in response to new legal threats from White House as they try to stop Congressional Oversight:

This Veterans Day, we must honor the service and sacrifices of our veterans with action. Let's pass legislation that increases access to healthcare, affordable housing, and wrap-around services that our veterans need and deserve.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Yesterday, I joined climate justice groups & representatives of more than 100 Tribal Nations in opposition to the permitting reform bill.

It’s a dirty deal that’ll accelerate polluting projects like data centers and bulldoze tribal lands and historic sites.

The House must vote NO.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

U-M shamefully wants to build a $1.25 billion data center on Native burial grounds–but the National Historic Preservation Act protects these lands.

The permitting reform bill advanced by the Senate last night will strip many of those protections, fast tracking approvals of data centers and fossil fuel pipelines.

No one should disappear in ICE’s cruel network of mass detention. My Find Our Families Act would require DHS to keep an accurate, online locator system so people can find their loved ones detained by ICE and fight for their freedom.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

ICE handcuffed & detained an 8-year-old boy, and now he’s missing.

He’s just one of the over 20,000 people who have been disappeared by ICE. This is sick.

Abolish ICE now.

ICE took an 8-year-old Haitian boy into custody after calling him in for a check-in Wednesday, sparking outrage among San Diego Unified School District leaders, who said Friday they were unsure where the child was being held. https://t.co/zJFQZyHEYP

Tomorrow, Lina Attalah stands trial in Egypt–simply for being a journalist. She’s the editor-in-chief of Mada Masr, the country’s leading independent media outlet, which the Egyptian government ordered to shut down.

Egypt must immediately release Lina and all detained journalists.

The new Democratic majority in Congress must reassess why we are sending this authoritarian government $1.5 billion in U.S. tax dollars annually.

Hegseth is a war criminal. He has:

❌Waged an immoral and illegal war in Iran
❌Committed extrajudicial killings
❌Killed schoolchildren in Iran
❌Kidnapped a foreign leader

I will vote to impeach Hegseth–and so should my colleagues.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

While some states spread anti-trans hate and fear, communities across this country were busy making history. Trans and nonbinary candidates won historic victories across the country, including right here in Michigan.

Hate might make headlines, but it doesn’t win.

Heavy winter floods in Gaza are devastating displaced families, flooding their tents. Children are freezing and dying. Hundreds of thousands have nowhere to sleep.

This is not a natural disaster. This is man-made genocide. Israel continues to block tents, shelters, and fuel from entering. They have concentrated 2 million people into dangerously flood-prone areas and have destroyed Gaza's sewage system.

We must force an end to this U.S.-backed genocide. Full arms embargo now.

🔵 Save the Children: “This is a choice”

“This is not simply the result of bad weather. Tents, shelter kits and fuel are waiting at Gaza’s borders while children sleep in floodwater, because the Israeli authorities are blocking their entry.

This is a choice, and children are paying the price. More than a year into the so-called ceasefire, it has failed to protect Palestinian children.”

Trump is begging Democrats to pass the permitting reform bill because he knows it’s a huge gift to Big Oil and Big Tech that’ll expedite data centers and fossil fuel pipelines while stripping the public’s rights to stop harmful projects.

I will never betray my residents. Shame on any Dem that would. I’m a HELL NO on BAAJA.

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating! May this Festival of Lights bring you and your loved ones peace, prosperity, and joy.

Our public lands are not for sale. Congress needs to pass my No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act now. https://t.co/M8w94lLYB9

Our families are exhausted. The results yesterday send a clear message that we must move with urgency to help people now. They shouldn’t be struggling like this while billionaires are getting richer.

MICHIGAN: TODAY IS ELECTION DAY!

My UAW dad taught me that voting is a way to ensure that they can't erase us and silence our voices. So many want communities like ours to disappear. This is our chance to make sure we are seen and heard.

You can still return your ballot in a drop box until 8 PM or vote in-person. Remember, if you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. Make sure your voice is heard!

ACA open enrollment is here–and a lot of families will face premium hikes once again.

In our District, 49,000 residents will have to pay more for health insurance because Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits.

This is shameful.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy few.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

MICHIGAN: Early voting ends TODAY! BUT you can still vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3 from 7 AM to 8 PM.

Remember:

🗳️ You do NOT need a photo ID
🗳️ Register to vote at your local clerk’s office
🗳️ If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line

For a true jump scare this Halloween, look no further than Trump’s price hikes. 😱

Candy prices are up 15.3% this year:

🍭39% more for sour gummies
🎃23% more for peanut butter cups
👻13% more for Mars chocolate
🍫20% more for Hershey variety packs

Trump’s even ruining Halloween.
