The Trump Administration is threatening to deny lifesaving assistance to 1.3 million people with H.I.V. in Zambia if it does not grant the U.S. rights to exploit their natural resources. Instead of building on the success of a two-decade-old bipartisan agreement, PEPFAR, and working in partnership with Zambia to combat corruption to allow tax revenue to support the health care system, the House Foreign Affairs GOP backs this immoral shake down. This is beneath basic humanitarian values and real people’s lives are on the line.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority@HouseForeignGOP
Just like every other country, Zambia is free to walk away from these negotiations. It’s ridiculous to assume the United States should fund entire health systems for countries that turn around and give priority access to critical supply chains to China. nytimes.com/2026/03/16/hea…

I joined RM @RepGregoryMeeks and my @HouseForeign
colleagues demanding answers from @SecRubio for the administration’s failure to protect Americans in the Middle East prior to President Trump’s unilateral decision to begin a war. Reminder, he didn't consult allies or Congress before plunging the world into chaos from this reckless war, but he also didn't do the bare minimum of coordinating the safety and security of Americans in harm's way as a result of his actions.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems@HouseForeign
Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks and HFAC Dems today sent a letter to Secretary Rubio demanding answers for the administration’s failure to protect Americans in the Middle East prior to President Trump launching the Iran war.

Consent. Dignity. Peace. These words are foreign to a man who wages unauthorized wars and colonial land grabs on multiple fronts, isolates our allies, and has no plan to address the pressing needs of the American people. We must return to the path of peace and respect for international law.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

The antisemitic attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan yesterday is heartbreaking and I pray for all those affected by this trauma. Thanks to the fast-acting security on site, further tragedy was prevented.
No one should live in fear of practicing their faith, and we must do more across our nation and the world to ensure religious freedom for all.

I joined @RepSaraJacobs and my fellow Democrats demanding transparency from Pete Hegseth on what lead to the horrific killing of 175 civilians.
Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@RepSaraJacobs
175 civilians – mostly little girls – at a school in Iran had nothing to do with this awful war. It looks like the U.S. was responsible for their deaths, and if so, this Admin must take accountability. I’m proud to lead 121 House Dems in demanding answers. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

While most Americans are struggling to own a home and rent is rising exponentially across America with an inadequate supply of high quality, affordable housing, Trump really believes nobody cares about the housing crisis?
The SAVE Act is just another way to silence the voice of Americans and further damage our democracy. Stop holding progress hostage with Jim Crow 2.0.

Keeping in our thoughts everyone impacted by the severe weather that swept through the Chicago-area and Kankakee County last night. Please stay safe and follow guidance from local officials.

Major storms that whipped up tornadoes in parts of Illinois and Indiana on Tuesday leveled homes, downed trees and power lines, and overwhelmed a 911 center south of Chicago with emergency calls, according to officials. Read more: abcnews.link/f6gf5a7

Meanwhile, the Administration’s SNAP cuts are taking food off children's plates. Hunger is a failure of the American social contract- an immoral policy House Republicans doubled down on just last week in the flawed farm bill.

Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of shellfish, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. (Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegseth’s Pentagon—the department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.) In other pricey food purchases, the government decided to drop $15.1 million for ribeye steak (again, just in September), $124,000 for ice cream machines, and $139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts.

Attention IL-01! Congress is tasked with passing annual appropriations bills to dictate how federal dollars are spent, and the FY27 cycle is underway. As your Representative, I am fighting to invest in programs that benefit our communities and reject cuts to public services.
I am also working to direct dollars through Community Project Funding to IL01. If someone you know has a project that would uplift IL01, go to jonathanjackson.house.gov/services/fy27-…

Liberator of more than 70 enslaved people, nurse, Union Army scout, soldier, and spy, advocate for the rights of African Americans, and champion of women's suffrage, Harriet Tubman became an ancestor on this day in 1913. We owe so much to her vision, tenacity, and love of freedom, family, and faith.

It has been an honor working with President @petrogustavo as a Member of @HouseForeign. I am thankful for his presence and heartfelt tribute at the Celebration of Life for Reverand Jesse L. Jackson Sr. We must continue to work together and fight for civil rights, human rights, justice, and equality for the most marginalized in our nations and around the world.

Yesterday was #InternationalWomensDay, and last week marked 10 years since Indigenous and environmental rights defender, Berta Cáceres, was assassinated. A decade later, her legacy continues to inspire movements for justice and environmental protection across the Americas. Yet the fight for accountability for her murder remains unfinished.
Earlier this year, the #GIEIHonduras report concluded that Berta's killing was the result of a carefully planned criminal operation involving hired assassins, intermediaries with military ties, and actors connected to the company behind the Agua Zarca project, enabled by networks of tolerance and omission within sectors of the State.
To this day, justice for Berta remains incomplete. I urge the Government of Honduras to fully implement the recommendations of the GIEl and to pursue accountability for all actors who participated in or enabled her assassination.

I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution because Congress cannot relinquish it's constitutional duty, the Trump administration shouldn't get a blank check for another endless war, and our troops, our constituents, and our country deserve better.
