Today’s bill signing is a prime example of what @CmteOnCCPDems have achieved and shows our adversaries that America will always stand for its national security. nytimes.com/2024/04/24/tec…
Medical professionals are required to help people. The near-total bans on reproductive rights hinder them and put patients in more danger. Regardless of the Supreme Court’s decision in this case, we must restore reproductive freedom and health care. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…
I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Congressman Donald Payne Jr., whom I was proud to call a colleague and a friend. He was a dedicated public servant whom we will miss in Congress. My prayers and support are with the Payne family and their loved ones during this difficult time
The House did our job; now the Senate has done its. Aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other security partners is on its way. nytimes.com/2024/04/24/us/…
Sex discrimination also includes gender identity discrimination. Glad to see @POTUS is using Title IX to protect all students from unfair treatment. washingtonpost.com/education/2024…
My TikTok divestment bill passed by the House this weekend is not about TikTok. It’s about its parent company ByteDance, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and is working to advance the CCP's interests.
Chag Sameach to all those celebrating the beginning of Passover this evening. I wish you peace and comfort during this holy time.
American solar is the key to a future of green and clean energy. As the co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Solar Caucus, I am excited by this announcement by @POTUS. nbcnews.com/science/enviro…
The headline says it all. By passing the bipartisan aid packages this weekend, we are giving our partners, the Ukrainian people, new hope that they can overcome Vladimir Putin’s aggression and restore freedom to their country. nytimes.com/2024/04/22/bri…
Happy Earth Day! Today, as we celebrate our planet’s natural beauty and resources, let us all strive to do our part to protect our home for generations to come.
Today’s vote to provide aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, as well as measures including forcing TikTok to divest from its CCP-controlled parent company, ByteDance, show the world we can overcome partisanship to support our friends and stand up for our values.
We cannot wane in defense of democracy. The Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act is critical to deterring CCP aggression and to supporting our allies in Taiwan and across the region.
Ukraine aid passes!! Thank goodness. Hopefully this changes morale and results on the battlefield today! Dark day for Putin. Democrats are waving Ukrainian flags on the Floor. Just under half of Republicans voted against #Ukraine aid. Remarkable. 🇺🇦
The Chinese Communist Party is fueling the American fentanyl crisis by subsidizing the production of fentanyl precursor chemicals. We need to expand prosecutions and sanctions on the companies manufacturing the chemicals and hold the CCP to account for its role.
This new center in Chicago will help address gun violence within the city and our state. I’m glad the Justice Department is taking serious steps to combat the violence. apnews.com/article/violen…
The CCP wants to see Democrats and Republicans divided to keep sowing doubt in our leadership and our democracy. Partisanship makes America weaker and our adversaries stronger.
Ukraine needs our support to fight back against Putin. They're about to be at a 10-1 artillery disadvantage. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her pro-Putin colleagues are sabotaging our national security and democracy worldwide.

Ukraine needs our support to fight back against Putin. They're about to be at a 10-1 artillery disadvantage. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her pro-Putin colleagues are sabotaging our national security and democracy worldwide.
@CongressmanRaja is right: the crisis in child care is getting worse & the demand for care is only growing. But states are facing difficulties attracting child care workers due to low wages & lack of benefits, which are critical to any job stability. Congress needs to begin to…
I’m sorry. What???
Parnas: Trump was aware of everything that was going on.. Trump approached me, shook my hand, said thank you for all that you're doing.. I was off to Ukraine. Krishnamoorthi: To meet with Shokin Parnas: To find him, to bring him back to meet with Lindsey Graham.
For too long, research & health care systems haven't prioritized women's needs. That's why I introduced the HEART Act to help tackle disparities in treating women’s cardiovascular health. I’m excited to see @POTUS taking action to invest in women’s health at all stages of life.

Thrilled to announce $1M secured for Fountain House mental health programs! This funding will make a meaningful impact in the lives of those struggling with mental health challenges. Grateful for the opportunity to support such vital work.
The funding will support the construction and expansion of the Fountain House Bronx clubhouse, which will support upwards of 600 members and providing 60 units of affordable and supportive housing.
Tdy the House will vote on a bill to ban Tiktok if it remains its tie w/ CCP-controlled ByteDance. Ytd I joined @CmteOnCCPDems @CongressmanRaja, @SpeakerPelosi, & other human rights advocates to show our support. I urge Congress to expeditiously pass this bipartisan legislation.
Joint statement from @CongressmanRaja and @RepGallagher on today's House passage of H.R. 7521, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.
TikTok poses significant threats to our national security. The entire intelligence community agrees. From data privacy concerns to potential foreign influence, we must remain vigilant. Our children's safety and our nation's security depend on it.
.@iamkimkeenan writes on how the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act comports with the First Amendment 🧵digitalprogress.tech/kim-on-tiktok/
The idea out that that the First Amendment would stand in the way of a directed sale of TikTok USA is unserious and would take an already overstretched Amendment into new territory. The First Amendment is not the right to spy on people nor a suicide pact.
Tiktok, while amusing, is also a national security vulnerability hiding in plain sight-- basically a foreign-owned spyware installed in millions of phones. I think Congress would be right to direct divestiture from Bytedance on pain of app ban (1/4)
.@CongressmanRaja and @RepGallagher today wrote to Shou Zi Chew, @tiktok_us CEO, demanding that TikTok stop broadcasting false information about the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. Full release: tinyurl.com/yc3apptu
⏰🌅☕️ Appreciate this conversation with @CongressmanRaja about the dangers of Tik Tok and the bill he has that would effectively ban the app —
.@CongressmanRaja on whether the Biden campaign should use TikTok: "I don't want to instruct the president on how to campaign ... I personally think there's a risk if you put TikTok on your phone."
I am honored to attend #SOTU2024 as the guest of Rep. Smith, Co-Chair of @CECCgov. Thank you Rep. Smith for extending your invitation and for your dedication to amplifying the voices of the #Uyghur people and fostering actions to end the ongoing #UyghurGenocide. #FreeGulshanAbbas
The House Commerce Committee just voted unanimously 50-0 to advance a bill that would definitively resolve TikTok’s national security threat. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Kudos to the strong, bipartisan leadership here by @RepGallagher @CongressmanRaja @cathymcmorris @FrankPallone
TikTok’s own conduct makes clear that it is beholden to the CCP and presents an unacceptable threat to U.S. national security. I applaud this strong bipartisan bill, which would definitely resolve this threat. My statement in support:
.@tiktok_us is a ticking time bomb. This morning, it detonated yet again - spreading lies to millions of Americans and forcing them to call Congress. This should be a wake up call for all Americans.
In response to our bipartisan legislation, @tiktok_us today has launched a massive propaganda campaign, requiring users to call their representatives, and 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲 labeling our legislation a "total ban" of TikTok. Let me set the record straight. (1/2)
Thank you @committeeonccp Chairman @RepGallagher & Ranking Member @CongressmanRaja for introducing the bipartisan bill “Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.” Congress must take a strong approach against #CCP's threats. thehill.com/policy/technol…
Fact Check: ❌ 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐒𝐄 ❌ We are giving ByteDance a clear choice. Divest @tiktok_us and all American users can continue to use and enjoy TikTok seamlessly. We will not allow the CCP to have direct access to Americans' data.
TikTok spox: "This bill is an outright ban of TikTok, no matter how much the authors try to disguise it. This legislation will trample the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive 5 million small businesses of a platform they rely on to grow and create jobs."
