Meet @realDonaldTrump's #KremLINKlan:

Listen, Trump, what is this business about not paying Federal workers who have been furloughed? In addition to that, you and your replacement for Elon Musk, Russell Vought, are using the shutdown to fire legitimate federal workers. How the hell do you think the country can be run…

Mr. Speaker, why don't you stop the nonsense of holding up the work of the House of Representatives by not swearing in the legitimately elected representative of the 7th district of Arizona, Adelita Grijalva? Are you that afraid of Trump? If so, I will gather the women of the…

Trump has caused @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James to be indicted. America had better be aware that if a president who has been tried and found guilty of a crime or crimes decides to use the power of their presidency to punish the legitimate attorneys general, prosecutors, and…

Today, we honor the pioneers of the labor movement, men and women who put their lives on the line, demanding fair labor practices for the workers who helped to build this country. Because of their sacrifices, we have healthcare, pensions, vacations, and fair working hours. The…

Does Trump really believe the American people are stupid? There is overwhelming bipartisan support for unleashing the Epstein files! The recent questionable meeting by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche with Ghislaine Maxwell has resulted in the transfer of Maxwell to a…

John Lewis was truly a human being who dedicated his life and career to the struggle for civil rights, human rights, and equality for all in this country. During the march for voting rights, John Lewis was viciously beaten and almost lost his life at the foot of the Edmund Pettus…

On Day 3 of Anti-Crypto Corruption Week, I’m sounding the alarm in my @MSNBC op-ed: GOP crypto bills don’t just fail to protect consumers, they greenlight Trump’s billion-dollar crypto grift and invite the next financial crisis. Read more: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

Dangerous right-wing haters are posting a lie about Congresswoman Waters, claiming her grandson is involved in some kind of trafficking. This is a big lie! The man being shown in a picture on social media is not my grandson. Whoever is posting this lie is probably the same one…

Jewel Thais-Williams was an extraordinary human being. She was the most dedicated advocate for the LGBTQ community, and she created the fabulous nightclub, Jewel’s Catch One Disco. Catch One became a welcoming spot for the LGBTQ community and for many Hollywood stars and…

17 million will lose healthcare. 12 million will go hungry. $1.3 TRILLION in cruel cuts all to hand tax breaks to billionaires. And they have the nerve to call this “fiscal responsibility”? Please! We won’t sit quietly while Republicans starve our people to feed the rich. Kill…

Trump's outrageous, disastrous so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" should be called Trump's Big Betrayal Bill. I sincerely wish there were some courageous Republicans in the House who are prepared to denounce and reject Trump's Big Betrayal Bill!

In celebration of National Homeownership Month, RM @RepMaxineWaters along with @RepAlGreen, @RepPressley, & @RepSylviaGarcia reintroduced the "Downpayment Toward Equity Act," legislation that would help close the U.S. wealth and homeownership gaps by providing assistance to help…

I believe Trump’s attack on Iran, hitting three reported nuclear targets, is tantamount to a declaration of war. The President must be confronted by Members of Congress to be reminded that the President must come before Congress to seek approval before a declaration of war. This…

June 19th is a special day, celebrated by so many families, churches, friends, and institutions who are focused on this national holiday because of what it means in our lives. We celebrate Juneteenth because in 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, word got to…

On Saturday Congresswoman Waters joined her third peaceful protest event of the day in Hawthorne. Several thousand young people showed up to voice their fear of a cruel and dangerous president and co president Trump and Musk. They must be stopped!

I joined hundreds of protestors on the streets of Playa Vista to denounce Trump, celebrating his birthday at the expense of the armed services. This country rejects his would-be dictatorship. This country has No Kings! 📸 @ ramonjgoni

I joined thousands of protestors on No Kings Day in Downtown Los Angeles, and sent a message to Trump: This country has No Kings or dictators, and his birthday is no more important than anyone else’s. 📸 @ Keith Boykin

Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers everywhere!

On June 12th, 1963, one of our country’s greatest Civil Rights leaders, Medgar Evers, was assassinated in Jackson, Mississippi. Medgar was the NAACP’s first Field Secretary for Mississippi and was a tireless worker and promoter of voting rights. Medgar's death sent a shockwave…

Today, I came to the Metropolitan Detention Center to exercise my constitutional rights as a Member of Congress to check on the safety and conditions of SEIU California President David Huerta, who was arrested by ICE. I pled with the National Guard, which was heavily armed, not…
