(1) We urge Mike Johnson to call House GOP back to Washington immediately to engage in good-faith bipartisan efforts to address these issues. Our constituents get up each morning and come to work. With Georgians’ health care on the line and government funding expired,

It shouldn’t be a radical idea that in the wealthiest country in the world, everyone deserves life-saving emergency care in a hospital—whether they’re visiting, immigrated here, or were born here. But in Trump’s America, we’re forced to say it out loud.

It’s shameful that the Global Sumud Flotilla has been intercepted by Israel on its way to Gaza. Blocking aid in the midst of a famine caused by this endless war will only lead to even more lives lost.

End the blockade.
End the genocide.
Release the hostages.
End this war NOW.

‘Unlawful’: Global condemnation as Israel intercepts Gaza aid flotilla

World leaders, rights groups slam Israel as it illegally detains activist boats headed to Gaza to break deadly blockade.

There’s no one tougher, smarter, or more caring than @jayapal.house.gov. An AZ Republican’s call for political violence against her is disgraceful and beneath the offices we serve. We must set an example for others to follow. Republicans must stop this dangerous rhetoric immediately.

Republicans controlled the White House, Senate, House of Representatives all year. They knew they needed Democrats to avert a shutdown. Not once did they try and work with Democrats to do that. Now with one day left, this shutdown is on Democrats? They think you’re stupid.

I have a right to freedom of speech, and I exercised that right today by voting no on a resolution that would honor a man who didn’t believe I deserved a seat at his table. It’s our table. We all have a right to be there.

If you can’t exercise your First Amendment right in this country, is it still a democracy?

"You can't get a cellphone, or a credit card, or even a job nowadays unless you sign away your right to a jury trial because that's what every corporation is requiring."

FBI Director Kash Patel is hiding, shielding, and protecting pedophiles. He needs to answer for it and stop trying to take credit for his predecessor's work.

My heart and prayers go out to Charlie Kirk’s wife, 2 small children, and the rest of his family and many friends. Charlie was a human being who did not deserve this. Political violence is always unacceptable.

I have supported this legislation from the beginning and signed the discharge petition last night. If there is nothing to hide, bring this to the floor now, Speaker Johnson. The victims deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth.

CDC Director Dr. Susan Monarez refused to put politics over sound science. Her questionable firing, and subsequent resignations of top CDC leaders, as we head into peak respiratory season is a recipe for disaster. Secretary Kennedy, you are a disgrace and threat to public health.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · Aug 27

BREAKING: Attorneys for Susan Monarez, the ousted CDC director, say she was targeted for "protecting the public over serving a political agenda."

CDC director Susan Monarez is out after less than a month on the job, federal officials say

While some big law firms align themselves with Trump’s agenda, organizations like the @aclu.org continue fighting for the people. I had a meeting with Andrea Young, Executive Director of the @acluofga.bsky.social, to discuss civil rights & how we can protect them during these critical times.

I had an insightful meeting with Gwinnett NAACP, discussing how we can strengthen GA-04.

As efforts to “Make America Great Again” continue, we see Black history & culture increasingly come under attack. We must remain vigilant & united in pushing back against the whitewashing of our history.
