People of color are disproportionately targeted in marijuana-related offenses. We should all follow Illinois' lead to expunge these discriminatory and unnecessary offenses.

California is a proud sanctuary state and no threat from the Trump administration is going to change that.

As a young single mom, I knew how hard it was to parent in poverty. Without food stamps, I wouldn’t have been able to feed my boys. We must invest more in anti-poverty programs to help families across the country.

We have the most diverse Congress in history and more women are stepping into the political spotlight than ever before. Those odds look pretty good to me. 💪🏿

Let’s call this what it is — racism. To all my sisters in Congress, I support you and stand behind you. To Trump, you’re right — we’ll see you at the ballot box.

This is unacceptable. The Trump administration is giving special treatment to Trump’s mega-donors and harming our environment while doing so.

Reminder: Republicans are still in court to strike down the entire Affordable Care Act, including protections for pre-existing conditions. We can’t go back to the day when insurance companies wrote the rules on who to cover.

The unemployment rate may be low, but how many people are working two to three jobs just to scrape by? We need to focus less on unemployment and more on making sure everyone has access to a quality job that pays the bills.

Achieving an AIDS-free generation is truly within our reach. We must continue to invest in research, education, and outreach around life-saving HIV prevention.

Be prepared as Trump’s ICE raids begin today. To all those in the Bay Area, stay safe and know you’re not alone. California has always been a beacon of hope. Together, we can stop Trump and fight to ensure that everyone across the country is safe from his xenophobic attacks.

Honored to have been a keynote speaker for today. The American people are fed up with Republican stonewalling and we're ready to expand our majority in the House, flip the Senate, AND take back the White House come 2020!

Yesterday, I voted no on the National Defense Authorization Act. We must and reduce bloated Pentagon spending. Instead, this bill increases the Pentagon’s budget to $733 billion — the largest number ever. Unacceptable.

I’m proud Congress adopted my amendment to repeal the 2002 Iraq AUMF and prohibit an unconstitutional war with Iran. We’re sending a clear message to Trump that Congress is reasserting its Constitutional authority to declare war.

Six years ago today, the movement was founded. Four years ago today, Sandra Bland died in police custody. How many more African Americans must die before this epidemic of police brutality comes to an end?

Trump’s new bogus Commission on Unalienable Rights is filled with people who have turned their backs on the LGBTQ community. Their task? To re-examine human rights. Unbelievable.
