In 1870, Senator Hiram R. Revels took his oath of office. A public servant, minister and college president, he was the first Black man to serve in Congress.
Today, a record 67 Black members in the 119th Congress continue to build on his legacy. #BHM2025

House Republicans’ budget plan comes to the floor tonight.
It strips healthcare from 80 million people who receive Medicaid and food from 40 million people (1 in 5 children) who receive SNAP.
All to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
That’s a “No” for me.
