We know this Pride felt different for many in the LGBTQI+ community. As we round out Pride Month, our Chair, with several of our Co-Chairs & Vice Chairs, wanted to send a message to LGBTQI+ Americans: We'll always have your back, during Pride Month—and year-round.

ICE detained Harjit Kaur—a 73-year-old grandmother who’s lived in the U.S. for 30 years, has no record, and checked in every 6 months for 13 years. Under Trump’s cruel policy, she’s now cut off from her family and medication. @RepLSimon and I are fighting for her. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cal…

As ICE terrorizes Los Angeles, Trump is directing federal agencies to hand over Medicaid data so they can hunt down immigrants. This week, I introduced the LINE Act to block ICE from getting access to our private health care information. Hands off our data.

The threats made against HBCUs cannot be swept aside. The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI must act swiftly to fully investigate these threats and pursue the appropriate legal action against those responsible.

Our democracy depends on fair representation. Republicans are working to rig congressional maps by weakening Black voting power across our country. Their desperate and racist attempts to cling to power will fail. We are not going back.

Our communities deserve to live in safety and without the fear that their personal information will be turned over to ICE to be used against them. That is why I co-sponsored @RepKamlagerDove and @RepJuanVargas’ bills that protect highly sensitive information from being exploited by the Trump Administration.

Join me and @RepJuanVargas as we introduce two new bills to prevent federal agencies from sharing our personal health care and housing data with ICE.   Let’s protect immigrant families. Hands off our data.

Recently, Mother Jones released an article about the efforts of California Rep. Lateefah Simon and 5 Democratic members of Congress to demand answers from Trump's labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The group is raising concerns that the federal government is “failing to protect federal contractor workers with disabilities,” as stated in their letter to the Labor Secretary. According to the letter, the U.S. Labor Department is failing to investigate complaints of discrimination, abandonment of compliance reviews and stalled affirmative action plans. You can visit the full article at the link: motherjones.com/politics/202… #DisabilityRightsCA #MotherJones #RepSimon #LaborDepartment #TrumpAdministration #ContractWorkers #LaborRights #Article @lateefahsimon @RepLSimon

Over 6 months into his Administration, Trump has committed countless illegal acts—and House Democrats have stopped over 200 of them. I asked a few of my colleagues for the top moments that made them scream, "is this sh*t legal?!”

Workers’ rights are women’s rights. This #LaborDay, we’re lifting up #EmergeAlums— @RepYassAnsari @RepLSimon @MalloryMcMorrow @MassAGO for fighting for working families in every community. Because when women lead, workers win.

It was great to join @RepLSimon and @RepMcGovern at the @EOakCollective to discuss tackling food insecurity. With community leaders, we explored ways to boost support for food banks and vital anti-hunger resources. Grateful for all working to ensure access to nutritious food.

Food is a human right, but Trump’s Big Ugly Bill strips nutrition assistance away from millions of Americans in need. Great to join @RepLSimon to hear how community organizers in Oakland are fighting back at the local level.

Reminder from @RepLSimon that Trump has been DEFUNDING the police around the country. He couldn’t care less about public safety in DC. Deploying the military is all a show to distract from his terrible economy and him being in the Epstein files.

The Administration has slashed local public safety funding across the country. @RepLSimon asks how Trump and Republicans can claim to support public safety while taking money away from police departments.
