@replamonica.bsky.social is facing 17 years in prison for conducting oversight & demanding accountability from Trump’s administration. Democracy dies when lawmakers are punished for simply doing their jobs. I’m standing with her because oversight is constitutional, not a crime.
Today marks 4 years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Now, Republican state abortion bans are taking away health care that women need to survive. As a member of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I'll always stand up for the right to access abortion care for everyone.
Trump promised the American people that no tax money would be used to fund his ballroom. Well, he lied. While Americans struggle to afford gas, groceries, and everyday essentials, Republicans are using taxpayer dollars to fund projects for the elite. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
The Baltic states have been strong allies, purchasing more than $1B in defense equipment over the last 4 years, supporting American jobs. Proud to introduce legislation with @keating.house.gov and @carbajal.house.gov that helps our allies deter aggression and promote stability in the region.
The secrecy surrounding the Epstein files is unacceptable. Under Biden, Garland, & now Trump, the public has been denied answers, & survivors have been denied justice. Release the files in full. No more secret closed-door meetings. Survivors deserve accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...
Our bill limits prior authorizations to once per year, helping reduce delays, cut red tape, and put patients first. Read more: juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...
I was proud to vote for a resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling with the cost of gas, groceries, and housing, Republicans should be focused on lowering costs, not pursuing another costly conflict overseas.

My thoughts are with everyone impacted by the apartment fire in Oak Cliff, especially families who have lost loved ones and the residents forced from their homes. Grateful to the first responders who rushed into danger to keep our community safe. www.wfaa.com/article/news...

A little girl with a rare brain tumor should not be separated from her parents because of a broken immigration system. Denying humanitarian parole in a case like this is inhumane. Our immigration system should reflect our values: compassion, dignity, and humanity. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Violence in any form is unacceptable, and my heart is with the families who lost loved ones in today’s shooting at a mosque in San Diego. Houses of worship should always be places of peace, safety, and community; never fear.
BREAKING: The two suspects in a shooting at a San Diego mosque are dead, a police source says.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 My VOTE Act passed through the House Administration Committee! With this bipartisan step, we're strengthening elections in Dallas County & across the country, ensuring every eligible voter knows where to vote. Next stop: the House floor! juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...
This language is racist, vile, and disgusting. And for Rep. Kiggans to agree with it instead of immediately hanging up the phone, proves that she doesn’t have the decency to serve as a Member of Congress. She should apologize and resign.
GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans says she agrees that Hakeem Jeffries has “cotton-picking hands” “Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.”
TONIGHT: We’re hosting a resource event for North Texans who may be impacted by ICE. If you or someone you know needs guidance or just wants to understand your rights, we’re here to help.
My office is hosting an event to support North Texans who may be impacted by ICE. We’ll provide one-on-one assistance with ICE-related casework. If you or someone you know needs help navigating an immigration issue, my team will be there to connect you with the resources you need.
Community Health Centers are doing critical work, but are stretched thin by workforce shortages. I introduced legislation to bring health care workers, patients, & federal agencies together to address these challenges & strengthen care for our communities. juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...
Honored to be recognized by @momsrising.org as a champion for families. Supporting families means tackling the Black maternal health crisis and making real investments so every parent and child can thrive. That’s why I’m fighting to pass the Momnibus and advance policies that lower costs.
Last night, Senate Republicans just approved another $70 billion for ICE to terrorize communities across the country. I won’t support a single dollar more until ICE is dismantled and fundamentally reformed. No blank checks. Not now, not ever. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...

Big news: My bill to ensure the U.S. leads the world in 6G just passed out of @houseforeign.bsky.social. Next stop: the House floor. Let’s get this done and keep America at the forefront of innovation.
Proud to introduce the USA 6G Global Leadership Act! The race to 6G is on. This bill supports American innovation and ensures we—not China—set the global standards. North Texas is already driving this work. Now we’re building on it to compete and win. juliejohnson.house.gov/media/press-...
