On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the first stewards of this land, celebrate the rich cultures and contributions of Native Americans and Tribal Nations, and recognize their enduring resilience. Our nation must never shy away from its history. We must honor Indigenous voices, protect their heritage, and ensure their stories are never forgotten.

This is exactly why I introduced the Voter Purge Protection Act. No eligible American should be wrongly kicked off the voter rolls because of faulty data or an unjustified purge. The right to vote is sacred. We should be protecting it—not putting it at risk.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration can deploy an expansive voter identification tool, allowing states to hunt for ineligible voters. Critics fear using the system could result in the purging valid voters from state rolls. nyti.ms/3TsCnVE

Trump packed the Kennedy Center board, tried to strip Rep. Joyce Beatty of her vote, and called her "incompetent." She took him to federal court, stripped his name off the building, and just won again: dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-…

Thank you @RepBeatty for your incredible leadership in forcefully pushing back against the President’s reckless vanity project at the Kennedy Center. If Donald Trump spent half as much time trying to lower the cost of living as he does plotting to demolish national treasures, our economy would not be failing. These extremists are completely unhinged.

Trump picked the wrong woman to mess with. 🔥🔥🔥
Rep. Joyce Beatty on her Kennedy Center call with President Trump today: "I think it would be unthinkable for someone to hear a president using the language that he used. He threw a tantrum. It was like an immature child. I wouldn't even want to put this on a child."

Rep. @JoyceBeatty: I was at the Kennedy Center board meeting with Trump. It was the most unprofessional thing that I’ve ever witnessed. He said, ‘I think you’re incompetent,’ and I said, ‘I know you’re incompetent.’ He said he was going to hold me responsible if something fell out of the ceiling and killed someone. I said, ‘you’re already killing people. We’re at war. We also have people who are starving.’ He wanted to talk about how great he was at developing. I reminded him that he had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.
