Know that I am Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ greatest supporter. After 6 House vote attempts, Kevin McCarthy should step aside in shame and embarrassment. He does not have the votes. Enough is enough!

It has been a long time in coming. However, in the final analysis, fairness and justice will always win if we fight for it! Mr. President your signature on the Respect for Marriage Act is a testament to your great leadership.

Rep. Waters, and the House Committee on Financial Services:
Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain.
I'm not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify. twitter.com/RepMaxineWater…

On World AIDS Day, we remember those who died of HIV/AIDS and honor those whose lives have been saved as a result of research, medications, advocacy, and vigilance. Testing, prevention, care, and treatment save lives every day. Let us expand our efforts and end this pandemic now!

In 2008, the UN designated Nov 25th as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The history of violence against women is a sad story of how women have been brutalized, maimed, and killed. We must all be committed. This must stop.

Herschel Walker no longer wants to be a vampire, now he says he wants to be a werewolf. Herschel, why don't you just try to be a decent human being? Even the werewolves would not welcome you.

My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of those who have been killed and those who have been harmed in Colorado. We must scrutinize those who are seeking gun ownership, and we must strengthen our weak gun laws, to stop this senseless violence.

My friend, Roz Wyman was a highly respected Democratic Party activist and generous fundraiser. She was the 2nd woman & youngest person, at age 22, to serve on the LA City Council. She surely will be recognized in history for her leadership.

Clarence Thomas has abused his powers to freeze the subpoena for Lindsey Graham. These Trump sycophants are doing everything they can to protect each other. In the end, they all need to go to prison. If we allow them to go without punishment, they will destroy our democracy.

The Jan 6th Committee is serious about documenting what took place & who was responsible for the insurrection at our Capitol. I congratulate the Committee on issuing a subpoena to former Pres Trump. He will attempt to avoid appearing, but he will not get away with it.

I am so happy that President Biden issued an executive order forgiving certain student loan debt. All of the harmed students should apply before December 31st, 2023. This will be life-changing for many students who are overburdened with student loan debt. studentaid.gov/debt-relief/ap

The Constitution of the USA ensures the rules for our democracy. The stunning disregard for the Constitution by Trump makes clear the dangers that Trump poses to our democracy. His threat of civil war is more than what any of us should tolerate. It is time to shut him down.

Americans overwhelmingly support universal background checks. Extreme MAGA Republicans may have sided with the gun lobby, but House Democrats will keep working to make universal background checks a reality. #EndGunViolence

Happy Labor Day to all of America’s workers & to those who are seeking work! For every legislator at every level of government, who claims to be a supporter of organized labor, we must fight for a real increase in the minimum wage. America is greatest when the people are working!

This is #WomensEqualityDay, but every day should be Women's Equality Day. I am feeling very strong & I am not about to rest while women's rights are being denied. We are going to fight & protect our rights no matter what right-wing, conservative, sexist, crazies are trying to do.

102 years ago today, the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote, was ratified. Yet now, they are trying to take it away from women and people of color. 19 States have passed new voter suppression laws since 2020. We must resist all efforts to restrict the right to vote!

Thanks to a tipster who alerted the Department of Justice that Trump still had in his possession highly classified documents that he had stolen from the White House, Trump reveals how much he is a danger to our democracy. He must be made accountable!

The Inflation Reduction Act is great. It will improve healthcare, reduce the cost of prescription meds, help with climate change & make corporations pay their fair share of taxes. Unfortunately, it does nothing to deal with the housing crisis in this country. The fight continues.
