Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

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.

Happy May Day! Detroit birthed the labor movement that has been fighting for dignity on the job for all working people. Let's thank our workers with action. It's time to increase the federal minimum wage, restore collective bargaining, and protect the right to organize.

Housing is a human right, but discrimination against folks with criminal records has been a barrier to housing, economic stability, and public safety. My bill with @RepRashida would help disrupt the prison-to-homelessness pipeline and advance housing justice.

It's shameful that CEOs are making 285 times more than the workers who keep their companies running on starvation wages. We need to take on corporate greed and pass the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act.

Cuba's infant mortality has soared by 148% from the tightening of U.S. sanctions. This is every parent's nightmare. I can't fathom the heartbreak of the thousands of Cubans who have lost their babies because of a cruel and broken U.S. policy. It's time to end sanctions on Cuba.

Having access to a safe place to live is a human right. Every year, Congress passes another record-breaking military budget instead of investing in housing for our neighbors. Today, I'm re-introducing the Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights. Congress can and must end this crisis.

The Israeli military has attacked and kidnapped 211 brave humanitarians trying to bring aid to Gaza. This is an outrageous act of piracy committed over 600 miles into international waters. They are still blockading and starving Gaza. Free them all now, and end the genocide.

Term limits for the Supreme Court. Enforce a binding Code of Ethics. Impeach these corrupt justices. Expand the Court.

HAPPENING NOW: I’m hosting a hearing on Trump’s attacks on Temporary Protected Status with other Members of Congress, experts, and directly impacted individuals. Follow along live: youtube.com/live/fJ6-dXUPW…

.@DTE_Energy’s greed is astounding. They already charge some of the highest rates in the nation, but they care more about record profits than reliability. @MichiganPSC should reject another outrageous rate hike.

Today, the corrupt, far-right Supreme Court gutted what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. My statement:

The federal government is using a mass surveillance tool to spy on us. No President, especially the current one, should have the power to make warrantless searches on the private communications of any American. I'm voting NO on the FISA reauthorization.

It's long past time to increase the federal minimum wage to $25+/hour. $7.25 wasn't enough in 2009, and it’s unacceptable today. We must prioritize and pass the Living Wage for All Act.

The Trump Administration has proposed that recipients of federal housing assistance, like homeless shelters, should be able to discriminate against people based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. This is shameful. Trump is dismantling civil rights across the board.

I'm furious that my neighbors pay more in federal income taxes than some of the biggest, wealthiest corporations in our country. Our government should invest in our communities, not spend all its time and energy making the rich richer.

It's outrageous that medicines in the U.S. cost 278% more than in other countries. The Medicines for the People Act will create a new institute at the National Institutes of Health to lead drug development, so lifesaving prescription drugs are affordable and accessible to all.

The American Lung Association gave the Detroit-Warren-Ann Arbor region a failing grade for air quality in its latest "State of the Air" report. STORY: wxyz.com/news/detroit-r…

Today, we remember the 1.5 million Armenians killed in the Armenian Genocide and reaffirm our commitment to truth, justice, and genocide prevention. We remember the Armenian Genocide not only to honor the past, but to shape a more just future.

From Romulus to cities across our country, we do not want ICE buying warehouses to lock our neighbors in cages. I’m introducing the Ban Warehouse Detention Act to stop the expansion of ICE detention and protect our immigrant neighbors. These facilities were meant for products, not people.
