    African American women account for 61% of female diagnoses. We must do better and commit to testing, prevention, & treatment.

    Today, we passed legislation to end the culture of corruption in Washington and reduce the role of money in politics. It’s past time that public servants get back to serving the public. Proud to support this historic piece of legislation.

    This was the line outside of the House Judiciary hearing about protecting DREAMers and TPS recipients. I went outside to meet some of them who flew all the way from California just to make their voices heard. We hear you.

    This week, the House Judiciary Committee held hearings on protecting and TPS holders, the Violence Against Women Act AND unveiled an investigation into the threats against the rule of law. When Democrats are in the majority, we get things done.

    The Secretary of Homeland Security came to Congress yesterday to say that children were never placed in cages. When I visited the border, I saw children in cages. I saw pregnant women in cages. I saw grandparents in cages. She lied.

    The Violence Against Women Act provides resources to save lives by assisting women, men and kids as they flee abuse and heal from trauma. With this bill, women have stood up for themselves -- for men and for their children -- and have said NO MORE. Proud to introduce this bill.

    At least 3 of the 7 bullets that killed Stephon Clark while he was UNARMED in his grandmother’s backyard hit him in his back. How is it that in our “justice” system, no one is punished?

    The Trump administration has a coherent policy to punish parents and children and have that be a deterrent so that people won't come across the border. We've just scratched the surface on oversight. We will get to the bottom of it. The American people will know.

    In our domestic child welfare system, the best interests of a child are determined by a social worker and a judge. Border Patrol officers are not trained to do this. They are not social workers. The family separation policy at our border is a stain on this country's history.

    I wish Donald Trump and Mike Pence were as serious about regulating guns as they are about regulating women’s bodies.

    This week, the Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on family separation and the House of Representatives will vote on background checks, closing the Charleston Loophole, and to disapprove of Trump’s Emergency Declaration. Oversight and legislation are not mutually exclusive.

    One of the prosecutors that negotiated a deal for the multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who spent just 13 MONTHS in jail despite being accused of trafficking underage girls and personally abusing scores of young victims, is now Trump's Secretary of Labor. That's wrong.

    Breaking: Federal prosecutors, including Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, violated law with secret plea deal for accused teen sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, judge rules.
