🚨BREAKING🚨 After months of collaboration with local leaders and advocates, we’re delivering more than $15 million for North Texas — investments that will strengthen infrastructure, expand health care and education, improve public safety, and grow our economy.

Republicans are calling today’s vote a ban on insider trading. But in the last few pages of this bill is Trump’s voter suppression act. He knows republicans can’t win in Nov on their ideas, so they have to make sure YOU don’t vote. We need to make it easier to vote, not harder. I'll be voting NO.

Trump thinks providing affordable housing is a “big yawn” (yes, that’s a direct quote) compared to his plan to execute a federal takeover of our elections. While Trump obsesses over clinging to power, I’m focused on addressing the housing crisis and lowering your costs.

North Texas veterans! The Department of Veterans Affairs is giving away free athletic shoes, and you may be eligible! Talk to your local VA Provider about choosing the right pair for you from any major brand, and they will be shipped right to your door!

This week marks the 14th anniversary of the DACA program. Dreamers, who came to the United States as minors, have fought to live the American dream. We've asked them to go above and beyond just to call the United States home. Congress must pass permanent protections for Dreamers.

🚨New Bill Alert🚨 I just introduced the bipartisan Prior Authorization Reform for Autoimmune & Blood Disorders Act. Patients with chronic autoimmune diseases and blood disorders shouldn't have to repeatedly prove they have the same condition just to access care.

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.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community while recognizing that the fight for equality is far from over.

We're proud to be led by every openly-LGBTQI+ Representative and to be able to work so closely alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social's leadership in the fight for LGBTQI+ equality. Read our Co-Chairs' and House Democratic Leadership’s #PrideMonth messages:

Through comprehensive federal protections like the Equality Act, we are calling on Congress to finally deliver on the promise of equal rights under the law. As a member of the Congressional Equality Caucus, I will never back down from this fight.

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...

Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten. This Memorial Day, we must always remember and honor those who gave everything to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is a reminder for us to reflect on and pay tribute to the stories of our lost servicemembers. To the families who have lost a loved one in service, our nation can never repay our debt to you or make up for your loss. Our hearts are with you on this day.

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...

nbcnews.comHumanitarian parole denied for deported parents of U.S. citizen girl with rare brain tumorIn Mexico, the girl’s condition has worsened and she’s not getting the specialized care she needs, her family said in an exclusive interview with NBC 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.

Had a great day getting a sneak peek at the new Halperin Park! Thank you to all our partners, especially April Allen, Anne Hagan, and Jessica Muniz, for helping reconnect neighbors split by highway construction. Together, we can build a safer, more beautiful Dallas!

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.

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.

Congresswoman Julie Johnson@repjuliejohnson.bsky.social

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.

Had the chance to join the Visiting Nurse Association for a Meals on Wheels delivery, bringing food to seniors in North Texas. Programs like this do so much more than deliver a meal; they provide a meaningful connection to neighbors. Grateful to the volunteers & staff who make this work possible!

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms and caregivers who hold our families together. In Congress, I’m proud to support the Momnibus to improve maternal health, close disparities, and ensure every mom has access to safe, high-quality care. I’ll keep fighting for policies that support moms and families!

Across Texas, too many families are being priced out of homeownership. Congress needs to step up and tackle this housing crisis head-on. I brought together leaders from across North Texas to push for real solutions because everyone deserves a fair shot at owning a home.

One of my top priorities is delivering results for North Texas. I was proud to bring home more than $5.1 million to the City of Dallas to strengthen infrastructure, improve safety, & support neighborhoods. These are your tax dollars making a real difference.

On #NationalNursesDay, we recognize the nurses who show up every day with compassion, skill, and strength to care for our communities. Thank you for the long hours, the sacrifice, and the critical care you provide to North Texans every day!

.@myresourcectr.bsky.social Health plays a vital role in keeping LGBTQ North Texans healthy, and I was proud to help open their new health care facility, an investment in access for our community. This is what it looks like when we invest in people and build a healthier future for North Texas.

Cinco de Mayo is a reminder of the resilience that shapes our communities. I recently met with the Mexican Ambassador to strengthen the relationship between our two nations. Mexican-American communities are at the heart of that bond, driving our economy, culture, and shared success.

I joined Dallas faith leaders outside ICE’s field office to mark one-year of their weekly prayer vigils. Together, we continue to pray for our immigrant community and for those harmed by ICE’s actions. I will always stand up for our immigrant communities and never waver in defending their rights.

In recognition of International Workers’ Day, I was proud to meet with the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, a group of dedicated public servants who keep our communities connected, no matter the distance. Their work is essential, and I’ll keep fighting in Congress to support them.

Since Trump started his reckless war with Iran, gas prices have spiked, and Texans are feeling it at the pump. Families across our state are paying more for gas because of Trump's war. Republicans refuse to focus on lowering costs, making everyday life more expensive.

Great meeting with the Richardson Chamber of Commerce in Washington this week! We talked about strengthening our local economy, supporting small businesses, and keeping North Texas a hub for innovation and growth. Proud to partner with our business community to get results.

My VOTE Act ensures you’re notified if your polling place changes, so what happened in Dallas County never happens again. In Congress, I’m fighting to make the ballot box accessible for every voter. Protecting voting rights is one of my top priorities.

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-...
