Beyond housing, economic, and climate justice, we must pursue long-overdue reparations for Black Americans.
I've co-sponsored a bill to study and develop these reparation proposals. Last year, held a hearing on H.R. 40.
Let's finish the job. #MLKDay

It's great to see corporations refusing to donate to members of Congress who tried to overturn the election.
You know what would be even better? If we got rid of corporate money in politics altogether.

As the commander of military forces in E Africa, I asked the American Forces Network (TV) to replace Fox news during meal hours. Why? Because they were inimical to America's outreach overseas. Put troops in jeopardy. Made my job harder. And they now have accomplices.

To those who tell me that Trump only has 11 more days in office, I say that's 11 days too many.
He incited and fueled a deadly assault on our Capitol, country, and democracy. He needs to be removed immediately. We must impeach him right now.

So much of our national unrest is deeply rooted in fear, uncertainty and financial insecurity. Universal Basic Income will go a long way to allay some of these concerns and put people back on the road to better mental, social and financial health. We need #UBINow. Seriously.

One of Oregon's most powerful Democratic political consultants today severed ties with U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Oregon) after the congressman reportedly described a rushed impeachment of President Donald Trump as a "lynching." reports.

Matt Gaetz is on the House floor now blaming antifa for the riots on the Capitol, to applause. Just in case there was question about today fundamentally changing things for House Republicans.

No more lies. No more pardons. No more destruction. No more enabling. No more sedition. No more tolerance. The President must be removed immediately. History will judge every one of us in a position to end this nightmare. I ask like-minded colleagues to stay in DC and help do so.

If the 25th amendment is not invoked today, Congress must reconvene immediately for impeachment and removal proceedings.

But seeing the massive early voter turnout fills me with hope. Let's keep that momentum going, turn decency into law, bring decorum and respect back into politics, and get some real bad-asses elected to shape the law of this country to serve all. There's so much work to be done.

I don't know about you, but I've been in a deep pit of despair regarding the state of governance right now. This farce of an executive administration bounces between lies, idiocy, and fear minute by minute. The party toes the line, and the media doesn't press.

I want it to be on the record that I denounce white supremacy and white supremacists.
I had to say it every day in grade school and it stuck; With Liberty, and justice for all. (Pledge of allegiance has some issues too, but that's for another discussion)

Not sure if that was more humiliating or terrifying, but that sure was something I'd never like to see repeated.

I ran for Congress because I wanted to restore the American experiment. My drive was and is to continue to progress America and its people, ALL of them, forward into a greater prosperity for all, and make our system fair and accessible.
We can still do this. Stay strong.

Qualified immunity shields police from accountability, impedes true justice, and undermines the constitutional rights of every person in this country.
It’s past time we end #QualifiedImmunity, and I’m introducing legislation with to do exactly that.
Quote Tweet
Excited to announce that @RepPressley will co-lead the bill to end qualified immunity. We’ll work relentlessly to build support within Congress for this critical legislation. Police must be held accountable when they violate people’s rights.

We need to make demands so that these protests can be worth something. Let’s start with:
•Releasing all non-violent marijuana offenders from prison + expunging their record
•Legalizing marijuana
•$1,500/month UBI
•investigations on every police killing
•end cash bail

Everything starts with the fact that we vote on a Tuesday.
Not on a weekend. Not on a national holiday. Not by mail (in most states).
We've ostensibly started wars to bring democracy to other countries and we vote on a Tuesday
