Abolish the filibuster. Codify Roe. Expand the Supreme Court. Protect abortion rights by any means necessary. We need all of the above. This is an emergency.

On Friday night, I came to the Capitol with my chair. I refused to accept that Congress could leave for vacation while 11 million people faced eviction. For 5 days, we’ve been out here, demanding that our government acts to save lives. Today, our movement moved mountains.

I was unhoused and forced to live out of my car with my two babies. Today, as the St. Louis Congresswoman, I introduced The Unhoused Bill of Rights, which declares the rights of unhoused people, and would end the unhoused crisis by 2025. This is a surreal feeling.

Starvation wages forced me to live in my car with my two babies. Starvation wages left me making decisions between keeping the lights on and food on the table. Stop blaming unemployment benefits for worker shortages and start paying people a livable wage.

When Philando Castile was murdered by police at a traffic stop in 2016, Minnesota invested $12 million in police training. Where was that training when they killed Daunte Wright just 10 miles from where Derek Chauvin sits on trial for murdering George Floyd?

Derek Chauvin is on trial. America is on trial. Our criminal-legal system is on trial. George Floyd is not on trial.

Jeff Bezos is worth $182 billion and the fact that he chooses to do everything within his power to keep the 5,800 predominantly Black workers in Alabama from unionizing for humane working conditions proves that he knows he didn't earn his fortune. He exploited workers for it.

Senators are the jurors in the former president’s trial, but how can you be a juror if you were an accomplice to the crime? Looking at you, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz.

It’s not divisive to call out white supremacy. What’s divisive is to not work to eliminate it.

Today, there are no Black women in the U.S. Senate because our nation’s second-ever Black woman senator is now becoming our first-ever Black woman VP. Black women shouldn't have to sacrifice our representation at one table to have a seat at another. Elect more Black women.

This has moved past the insurrection attempt. We’ve learned that GOP members gave tours to insurrectionists, coordinated with their leaders, and are trying to carry guns on the House floor. They're putting barriers around the Capitol, but the threat is on the inside right now.

I don’t want to unite with those responsible for the insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. I want us to unite in holding them accountable.

I just introduced H.Res. 25. It would, under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, investigate and expel the GOP members of Congress who attempted to overturn the election and incited a white supremacist attack. Call your rep to sign on. We can’t have unity without accountability.

My first resolution in Congress will be to call for the expulsion of the Republican members of Congress who incited this domestic terror attack on the Capitol.
