As one of the few naturalized citizens to serve in Congress, it is difficult to constantly listen to the anti-immigrant rhetoric coming from Republicans.
The reality is that immigrants contribute so much to our communities. I'm grateful to everyone who understands that.
@HouseDemocrats Not struggling at all, in fact, the stores are full, the restaurants are full, people are shopping like crazy. They aren’t struggling the only people that are struggling. Are those who don’t want to work and we know who they are.
Congratulations to Analilia Mejía on her landslide victory tonight in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District.
Analilia will be a great progressive addition to the House in the fight for economic, racial, social and environmental justice.
I look forward to serving with her.
I just voted HELL YES to limit the President's power to wage this illegal war in Iran. While House Republicans chose loyalty to Trump over lowering your prices, I will never stop fighting to end this illegal war.
Trump has threatened to use the U.S. military to carry out acts of genocide against the Iranian people.
Make no mistake: those that voted NO to the War Powers Resolution are actively endorsing that threat.
Congress must exercise our power to end this chaos.
The Constitution entrusts the power to declare war to Congress—the people's Representatives.
With Republicans blocking another War Powers Resolution, the American people have been left without a voice in this President’s war, even as working families are left to bear the cost.
@FOX17 good lord, tell Kevin to back off the Adderall! The dude is dancing all over the damn place and talking a million Miles per hour . Can’t stand listening to his BS
My record is well-known. I’ve worked to:
- Raise wages
- Lower costs
- Get working families the relief they deserve
Donald Trump and Darren Bailey are fighting to take us back.
@libsoftiktok Now watch the flood of people leaving New York and heading to southern states. New Yorkers are going to find out how this guy screws the economy of that state.
88 of the largest corporations in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes—while making $105 BILLION in profits.
The rich keep getting richer, while working families get screwed.
It is way past time for the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share. #TaxDay
@SenatorSlotkin I hope everybody reading her bullshit understands why she should be in politics and especially in Michigan. She is disgusting, and she wrote a extremely long explanation trying to justify her hatred for Jews. She needs to go and she needs to go now for antisemitism.
Today, I voted to block the provision of U.S. military assistance to Israel: 1,000-pound so-called ‘dumb’ bombs and military bulldozers.
In the future, I will continue to assess U.S.-funded offensive weapons to Israel on a case-by-case basis, and I will continue to support sending Israel much-needed defensive weapons, like Iron Dome.
I have struggled with these Joint Resolutions of Disapproval as much as any vote since I joined Congress. I represent a state with a large Arab and Muslim population and a large Jewish population. And over these last two-plus years, few issues have been as raw, painful, and personal as this one. Throughout that time, I have worked hard to call balls and strikes based on my experience and the facts on the ground, even when some are reluctant to consider new information.
My entire life, I have been -- and continue to be -- a strong supporter of a Jewish and democratic State of Israel. The people of Israel, like all people throughout the region, deserve long-term security and peace. But being pro-Israel today is not about simply supporting the political or military agenda of Prime Minister Netanyahu, just like being pro-American should not be equated with loyalty to President Trump.
This is a complex truth that many of us who support Israel hold, and it applies to my own patriotism and government as well. I can support the security of a country without supporting the specific policies of any one political party or leader. And if Israelis can take part in rigorous debate and protests of their own government’s policies, Americans supportive of Israel can do the same thing.
I have no love lost for the Iranian regime or their proxy groups like Hezbollah. I know firsthand from three tours in Iraq alongside our military how Iran is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and thousands more civilians in the Middle East.
But President Trump committed the U.S. to a war of choice against Iran, alongside Israel, with no evidence of an imminent threat, no clear objectives, and without Congressional approval. Seven weeks in, he has yet to provide a strategy for this war or a clear path to get out of it.
So just as I am against more U.S.-funded weapons to Israel today, I am also deeply skeptical of more U.S. funding for the Iran war, which reportedly could be anywhere between $50 to $200 billion, on top of $1 trillion provided to the Pentagon last year.
Every American should be invested in the U.S. ending this war with the least possible loss of blood and treasure. It is my hope that we can get a comprehensive and durable ceasefire as soon as possible.
@seanhannity look , im a Trump supporter , but stop smoking his pole like you’re his lover. It’s a little obvious that you’re over doing it all the time ! Tone it back
@Gp1_press 1 million huh? Lmao…. Well 12 warthogs with Gatling guns will wipe them out like a flash of lightning. Make sure you tell all those soldiers that they’re 72 virgins are coming.
URGENT: Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps declares warships are approaching Hormuz and will be dealt with harshly. If America starts a land war, Iran will deploy one million soldiers. Official military threat issued.
@Morning_Joe do you guys have any other news except Trump? It is absolutely insane. How focused you guys are on one person. Get a life Joe! You are an absolute joke.
