Congress passed a historic housing bill to make homes affordable, but Trump won’t make it law.

His demand?

The power to strip the American people of their right to vote in elections. Trump is choosing power and MAGA extremists over hardworking Americans. It’s pathetic. https://t.co/uIYlVUFJZd

Ranking Members @RepGregoryMeeks and @RepSaraJacobs today released the following statement calling on the State Department to secure an agreement halting the Rapid Support Forces’ siege of Sudan’s El Obeid city:

Trump’s DOJ is targeting @RepLaMonica for doing exactly what she was elected to do: conduct oversight and hold ICE accountable at Delaney Hall.

Congress will not be intimidated. @HouseDemocrats stand with Rep. McIver and will keep fighting back against political retaliation. https://t.co/PVisDwBIvf

Today marks four years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Republicans are still relentlessly attacking reproductive freedom. As a member of the @ReproCaucus, I'll always fight to protect reproductive rights. Your body. Your health. Your decision.

Being a father to three girls and a grandfather to five grandchildren has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I’m grateful every day for fatherhood and want to wish all the dads and father figures out there a #HappyFathersDay!

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: The people of Colombia deserve free, fair and peaceful elections. Every eligible voter must be allowed to cast their ballot safely and without intimidation on Sunday. A strong U.S.-Colombia relationship is in both countries interests and I look forward to working with whoever the Colombian people choose to advance our partnership.

The MOU does nothing to address Iran's nuclear program.

Oil prices were low before the war, Iran was already at the table, and the Strait of Hormuz was open.

Trump's reckless war barely revived the status quo—but costs us billions, took American lives and wrecked the economy.

1/ USAID OIG released an advisory on the Trump admin withholding family planning commodities overseas.

Rather than deliver these taxpayer-funded supplies, the admin is paying millions to let them expire in a warehouse.

This is ACTUAL waste of American tax dollars.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

2/ If House Republicans really cared about addressing waste, fraud and abuse, they'd work with @RepGregoryMeeks, @RepLoisFrankel and @RepGraceMeng to pass the Saving Lives & Taxpayers Dollars Act.

This #Juneteenth, we honor the resilience of Black Americans and the long road to freedom. The fight our ancestors started isn’t over and we won’t stop until true equality is won for everyone. #FreedomDay.

The championship is back in New York! 🏆🗽

Congratulations to the @Knicks for their historic win. It’s even more exciting that fans across the city can safely celebrate this win at the parade today. https://t.co/OVZJdaGES9

Americans are tired of thoughts and prayers without action. Communities deserve policies that save lives, and Democrats are fighting for commonsense gun safety laws.

Happy Islamic New Year to everyone in #NY05! May this new year bring you peace and blessings for you and your loved ones. #IslamicNewYear

Caught up with my @RepGregoryMeeks on Black Music Month, his favorite artist, and what Black music means to us.

We filed legislation with Rep. Carson & Sen. Booker to recognize June as Black Music Month – because, recognition is in order.

Today marks 14 years of #DACA. For more than a decade, #Dreamers have built careers, raised families, paid taxes, and strengthened communities across the country. They deserve permanent protections, not uncertainty. Congress must deliver a permanent solution.
