It’s taking Black women even longer to earn as much as white men as the wage gap has widened for the first time since the 1960s. We must address the racist, sexist policies that cause structural economic inequality in America so Black women are paid what they’ve earned. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

While millions of children go hungry, Republicans are giving the richest 1% over $1 trillion in tax cuts and Trump is pocketing $2.2 billion for himself and his family. Trump & Republicans are working for themselves and their billionaire donors— not you. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Join me and Tatyana Ali this Wednesday at 3pm ET / 12pm PT for a conversation about maternal health and my bill -- the Traumatic Births Research Act. During Black Maternal Mental Health Week, conversations like this are imperative in order to improve maternal health outcomes.

Black mothers experience postpartum depression nearly twice as much as white mothers, reflecting disparities driven by gaps in health care access. During Black Maternal Mental Health Week, we must raise awareness of the issues they face and policy solutions to address them.

Health care is a human right, and that includes HIV prevention. Today, as we commemorate National HIV Prevention Day, I’m calling on all of us to do the right thing and build a future where everyone has access to the tools that make prevention possible.

Thanks to GOP budgets, more than 8 million Americans lost health care coverage & another 4 million lost access to food assistance. Now, they want to loot your children's futures to fund brutally inhumane ICE operations that terrorize our communities. How much wasted taxpayer money will be enough?

Surely the man of the people will put his face on a gold coin while folks can’t afford groceries and gas.

Yuwei says, “the drawing symbolizes reunion & togetherness, a reminder of how easily we can overlook the people who matter most amid the pressures of work & everyday life.” It was great to meet her & learn about her art. For the next year, every Member of Congress will pass it on their way to vote.

Each spring, a nationwide high school art competition is hosted by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. This year’s winner representing our district is Yuwei, a rising sophomore at Princeton High School! Her artwork is titled “Girls’ Reunion,” and the art medium is colored pencils.

I sent a letter to Secretary Mullin and USCIS Director Edlow demanding to know why they delayed processing DACA work authorizations. The delays tripled typical response times by USCIS, risking the livelihoods and legal status of thousands of Dreamers and eroding the communities in which they live.

Today is Juneteenth – a day worth commemorating but also a day when I reflect on the cruel reality that it represents: justice denied.

Trump pitched his UFC fight as a 250th anniversary celebration, but it looked more like a tacky birthday party for a wannabe king. Taxpayers covered more than $10 million in security & logistics while the event doubled as a showcase for his political & business networks. Corruption in plain sight.

The GEO Group holds a $1 billion contract to operate this warehouse as a detention center but refuses to improve food and facilities to ensure health and safety is protected. Detainees felt they had no choice but to launch labor and hunger strikes to simply have their voices heard.

I joined House Homeland Security Democrats in Newark to continue our legally protected oversight at Delaney Hall and hear from expert witnesses, local leaders, and a veteran who was detained by ICE.

The gun violence epidemic is a stain upon the fabric of our nation. To those who refuse to support common sense prevention measures: you have blood on your hands. This #GunViolencePreventionMonth, we reaffirmed our commitment to ensure people can live without having to look over their shoulders.

What we’re seeing right now at ICE facilities across the nation is a stain on our country. This shouldn’t even be a discussion.

Join me online on June 16th for a discussion about what it takes to help families thrive and the critical role Congress plays in making it happen. bit.ly/coleman-webinar

This month, and every month – be fully, authentically, unapologetically you. Happy #Pride Month!

Republicans pretend to care about stopping corruption but are SILENT about the blatant and unprecedented corruption coming out of the Trump administration.   I'm tired of it.

That’s why @replamonica.bsky.social, @menendez.house.gov and I introduced the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act to prevent ICE from lawlessly operating in the cover of darkness. Learn more: watsoncoleman.house.gov/newsroom/pre...

ICE is not the private army of any president or administration. They are federal law enforcement meant to work for and be accountable to the American people. Nothing should be happening inside an ICE facility that would require secrecy or concealment from the American people.

You deserve leaders who have the courage to tell & fight for the truth; and to speak up & to speak for their constituents. I’ve dedicated my career in public service to doing just that. We need more of it in Congress. Full story from @notusperspectives.bsky.social: www.notus.org/perspectives...

It was a privilege to welcome Governor Sherrill back to Congress for a meeting with the New Jersey delegation. Before us is a critical opportunity for positive change for our state. We will continue to work closely together to bring costs down and keep our communities safe.

Today, we celebrate the planet that we call home and remember the importance of environmental protections. We only have one planet— there is no back up. #EarthDay

Tucked into Trump's absurd $1.5 trillion Pentagon request is $54.6 billion drone budget. A 24,000% increase over last year. Who has just happened to have gotten into the drone business recently? Don, Jr. and Eric Trump. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. thehill.com/opinion/nati...

Trump's proposed budget slashes programs that working- and middle-class Americans use every day while boosting the Pentagon budget by an obscene 42%! Today, I'll be demanding trumps budget director Russell Vought justify this cash grab by defense contractors.

That's it. It's time to use the 25th Amendment. In just 48 hours, the president has gone from threatening war crimes to threatening genocide. He is clearly unstable and must be set aside.

The national average price of gas has skyrocketed past $4 a gallon— the largest monthly jump on record. It did not have to be this way. This energy crisis is literally of Trump's own making.

While America has not been a perfect union, we have made many important strides that benefit all Americans and continue to strive to be the perfect union that our founders envisioned. I am hopeful the next 250 years will be bright and prosperous.

As a co-founder and co-chair of the America250 Caucus, I was proud to put partisanship aside to join my fellow commissioners and commemorate this historic milestone today.
